Food is critical to fuel a hike and keep you on trail. Buta delicious meal can also enhance your enjoyment of wild places. Your time outdoors no longer has to be something you endure, there can, and should, be beautiful moments to pause and be a part of nature. For me, this starts with a nutritious and delicious meal at the end of a long day.
With the variety and options available these days we are spoilt for choice. Nutrition and taste are now much easier to get your hands on. There are even great food options for people with dietary restrictions.
This guide will walk you though all the options for hiking food from dehydrating your own, commercially available hiking meals (pros and cons), meal suggestions, recipes, what to pack and ultralight meal planning.
