You’ll have more energy if you can actually eat what you bring in your pack

Have you had enough Rice a Roni or things that look like this when you’re planning your backpacking menu?  If you’re looking to expand your bag of tricks, here’s a great post from a site that we’ve got on our RSS feed, SectionHiker. As we’ve said before, this site’s usually got meticulously thought-out, very useful info on hiking and lightweight backpacking, if you’re into that kinda thing. It sort of makes sense the guy who runs it’s a software engineer.

Anyway, today’s post talks a lot about the value of dehydrating food to create simple, lighweight, nutritous, great meals on the trail. Then you mix ‘em up in freezer bags for easy prep. If you don’t know where to get started on something like this, this is a great overview from someone who’s clearly done a lot of thinking on the matter.

Not only that, but SectionHiker himself outlines his whole menu for an upcoming trip he’s planning in Maine, complete with links to other sites where he collected info on some meals for his trip.

Who says you can’t be a foodie on the trail? Like a lot of things, this shows it’s all about planning.
