Fresh Foods That Travel Backpacking

The Reaping dvd One of the things that I have written about many times before here on TheGearHouse is about food. Mainly because it is the one thing I always have the biggest issues with when planning for a trip. I don’t always want to take a freeze dried option such as from Mountain House, yet I may not have the option to cook a full meal on a two burner stove. So, I always struggle to decide what kind of food I want to take and what meals to have. Just recently I posted “Backpacking food ideas for your next trip” and I also had written “Breakfast when camping is crucial“. Well to continue with the trend, today’s post is going to be about fresh foods that travel well, aka backpacking or camping.

To earn a place in your pack, foods have to be fairly light and not spoil. Hence why a lot of people go for the freeze dried meals, dried fruits, pasta, and grains. Yet, why not consider some fresh foods? Here are some that will last: tramadol no prescription needed

  • Salami, pepperoni, and sausage – the plastic wrapped, preservative-filled variety will last longer. But even fresh pieces from the deli or store will last a couple days. Who doesn’t love a little summer sausage and cheese on a bagel? Speaking of cheese…
  • Cheese – cheese can survive days without refrigeration. Hard cheeses are better, such as Cheddar and Swiss. A nice block of cheese, can go a long way on a backcountry trip – feeding you and your partners happily.
  • Pita and Bagels – These are better than regular bread. Breads with preservatives last long, especially in humid climates. Crackers also don’t spoil, but keep them in their cardboard boxes so they don’t turn into crumbs.
  • Eggs – Yes, I said eggs. I love taking some eggs backpacking for breakfast the first day while out on the trail. Nothing like a nice hot breakfast! Hard-boiled eggs will last several days. You could also dunk eggs in boiling water for a minute or two, just enough to cook the outermost section of the shell and make it stronger. Be careful though, you don’t want to have an egg crack inside your pack!

Backpacking Food Ideas For Your Next Trip

Teachers Are People video

When going on a trip, one of the most important aspects to think about is the food that you are going to be taking with you. Obviously this will depend on the type of trip – just a day hike, an overnighter, a multi-day trip, etc.

However, there are always some pretty basic food items that you can consider when planning your menu for the trip. Here are some ideas for foods to get your started.

Breakfast

Light My Fire Grandpa's FireForks Make Fire Cooking Easy

WoodsMonkey has a great article about the Grandpa’s FireForks from Light My Fire. I have sold many of these and have more on the way and believe they are great items. Look for them to be in the TheGearHouse store soon (which will also be getting a MAJOR revamp).

Heres the article from WoodsMokey:

Cooking food directly over the flames is a practice that goes back as far as man has had fire, and the basic practice still hasn’t changed all that much. Take a look around any campground that you happen to be near and you’ll find folks roasting hotdogs and marshmallows on pointed sticks right over the fire. It simple, it works, and it’s fun for the kids to both cook that way and to make their sticks ahead of time.  However, it isn’t always the most efficient way to do things.  It’s not uncommon to lose your food into the fire with the old single prong pointed stick. Multi prong sticks work a little better and you can find metal two tined fire forks at most camping stores. The problem with those is either that the big ones are too long and bulky to take on anything but a car camping trip, and the smaller are generally all metal including the handle portion. They also tend to be rather short and quickly heat up since you have to be closer to the fire–not to mention the fact that the metal transfers the heat to your hands much more than it will with a wooden stick.  Enter Light My Fire and their Grandpa’s FireForks.

What is your favorite camping breakfast? I prefer some good eggs and sausage if I am car camping, however, if backpacking, a bagel or English muffin is an excellent choice!
