If you make the beef jerky yourself you save a good amount of money. There is roughly a 60% yield by weight. | |
| Jan 18, 2019 at 5:05 | comment | added | Drew | Nuts & seeds; hard, dense, whole-grain bread; hard, fat cheese; hard, fat salami. Add fresh green peppers, avocados, boiled eggs, even apples ... for the first few days. (You're going to carry water anyway; might as well carry some of it as an avocado or a pepper.) Leave the pots & pans home - bring one small very lightweight pot or large aluminum cup, more as a general tool than for daily cooking. None to few pots means more and better food (weight) and less time cooking & cleaning. Drink plenty of good water, hot or cold. Skip dehydrated imitation city meals altogether - think peasant. | |

| Sep 27, 2016 at 19:38 | comment | added | njzk2 | peanut butter has a good calorie density (6cal/g), keeps well, packages easily, contains carbs, fat and protein, no sugar, tastes good, and can be eaten from the pot with a spoon. | |

| Mar 23, 2015 at 20:45 | comment | added | user5330 | Weight i not the only concern - bulk comes into it when packing for 14 days. You need compact, high energy foods. Focus on High fat, high protein. Its easy to overload on carbs as dried, light food is almost always carb based. Too high ratio of carb will leave you feeling hungry even if you have eaten enough. | |

and don't care about eating the same tasteless thing every day if necessary <-- This makes me sad. If you are suffering, you are doing it wrong ;) - when you have your tent set, your pot on the stove, and watching the sunset, who wants tasteless? You want a symphony of flavor with that back-drop. Delicious doesn't have to be heavy.

| Jan 24, 2012 at 20:58 | comment | added | Kevin | On one canoeing trip, we took a few summer sausages. An inch-thick slice will keep you going quite a while, and they aren't likely to go bad. | |

| Jan 24, 2012 at 20:55 | comment | added | victoriah | That's kind of what I mean by "food needs": just enough to feel fine at the end of the day, it's not necessary to eat enough fibre or vitamins or whatever. | |
| Jan 24, 2012 at 20:54 | comment | added | Noam Gal | I would argue that for a 12-15 day hiking trip you wouldn't need to fulfill all your food needs anyway - just stock up on enough calories to sustain you through the day. You don't need a healthy and balanced diet for the trip. | |
