I am going on a several thousand km hike soon. What are some good backpacking stoveless meals/“recipies”. It is winter so I can get away with some things that would normally spoil fast.
I am looking for some ideas to eat better on the trail, but I still refuse to carry a stove or any sort of pot or anymore. I feel like I am not eating as well without the stove, as in I am eating like complete shit, which isn’t shocking at all, but I think it is because I am getting dry ramen and what is essentially vending machine food. I could definitely eat well without a stove if I actually put in effort.
>inb4 just carry a stove again moron
No
>several thousand km hike soon
Looking forward to see your next terronata.
What the frick is a terronata
Anything notable done by a terrone is a terronata. They are bad at life and their endeavors invariably end in comedic disaster.
An anon's attempt to force his shitty meme
Hurt some feelings, gennaro?
Keep posting it, I'm sure someone will laugh eventually
So you're not even full italiano? Nonno Guido Gennaro Favastorta fell for neighbourly Maria Lula Guadalupe DeLapingarota?
>every anon who points out my shitty forced meme is italian
Guess again fricko
100% guinea.
0 for 2.
The frick are you even talking about. No one cares where you're from, bubba.
>bubba
Stai zitto, polentone.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got it. Certified terrone moment.
Gennaro those dishes aren't gonna wash by themselves, andale!
Oats and raisons, PB and J.
Idk anon, I only do day hikes and I only bring fruit with me. Literally eat what you like, dehydrated food is obviously better.
crackers and lots of them
I recommend the low sodium stoned wheat thins
yeah they're bulky but they can cover 50% of your daily nutrition
add some trail mix and jerky and you're like 3/4 of the way to a reasonably healthy diet with no cooking
Lots of sausage is shelf stable. “Uncured” in the US means it was preserved with smoke or natural salts rather than nitrates. Isn’t shelf stable sausage more popular outside of the US? It’s a specialty thing here.
Tortillas pack really well. Pita is ok but can smoosh a little. Most bread will smoosh but it really depends on density and how and where it’s packed. Some crackers are good. Most carbs will be about 100 cal/oz, usually more.
Packages of tuna in oil are a hiking staple. Sucks if you don’t like tuna. You can find chicken as well, but it’s pretty bland; it’s literally unflavored plain chicken (and the packs are kind of big). Plenty of canned options if you don’t mind the weight, bulk, and extra trash. There’s a girl who hiked the entire AT and ate cans of Bush’s beans along the way.
Cold soaking is popular but I don’t care for eating gray mush. I’ve heard of people soaking bean sprouts or some other hippy shit. Didn’t sound appealing. Bean dip might be ok but you won’t be able to find the ingredients (unless you’re doing mail drops, but I’ve never heard of a non-American doing that).
Breakfast is probably the easiest. Whole powdered milk and granola is pretty good. Butthole sandwiches too. Or just get little donuts (kind of fragile but delicious). Overnight oats are popular. Pop tarts too if you just want sugar and chemicals, lol.
A lot of it sucks in the dead of winter, especially breakfast. You could always eat crackers and sausage or whatever as soon as you set up camp while the sun is out and you’re still warm from hiking. But getting out of a tent when it’s freezing butt ass cold and having cold food? Nah.
Acktchually most crackers are bretty good with regards to being calorie dense. Wheat Thins (the name brand) are like 130 cal/oz. They’re also a little more resilient than some other types of crackers.
I’ve been thinking about carrying some bread and meat and cheese with me since I normally don’t, hell if I wanted to I could bring condiments
I don’t really care about the bread smushing, it is what it is
You sound like you're carrying a goddam pot belly coal range into the bush you splurge. Carry a goddam gas cooker, heat your goddam cup of tea and your goddam freeze dry meal properly and frick off so we can get back to talking about synthetic boots and cotton.
I used to carry a ultralight butane stove
If you have hot water you have a useful heat source for drying things in the winter. You should reconsider your stove-less life and repent.
Then keep carrying one
Cash
>I can definitely eat better if I don't have a way to cook things
lol, lmao
god bless you anon I hope you go to PrepHole and get some inspiration to fix your shitty fatfrick life
You are the moron
I clearly stated that since I don’t cook I don’t eat as well, but I could eat better than I am now, never as good as if I had a stove, but close
Contrived way to say you're fat, gennaro. Out of shape and out of touch.
You have opened dozens of thread asking for advice which you got, punctually disregarded and then came back complaining what you were told would happen ultimately did.
You had your first hike a year ago, which you failed, now you wanna go for "thousands of kilometres"... You're a clown.
You have to go on PrepHole to ask what to eat in a day trip and need to be babysat in picking boots yet you keep trying and failing to do things way out of your league.
You will get injured, killed or be responsible for that happening to someone else.
No need to bother with cooking unless its cold or it's more than 7-10 days between supermarkets.
