Are you planning a wild camping adventure? Don't forget to pack the most important item - food! But what food should you pack for your multi-day expedition? The key is to find the right balance between light-weight and energy-rich food to keep you going. And, of course, it has to be delicious too!
First things first, make sure you're well-nourished before you set off. Pack in plenty of vitamins, protein, and complex carbohydrates in the days before your trip. Once you're ready to hit the trail, don't forget to bring a lightweight camping stove and a couple of reliable lighters and matches.
For main meals, dehydrated or freeze-dried camping food, pasta in sauce, couscous, noodles, microwaveable rice, pre-cooked sausages, small tins of tuna or corned beef, dried mashed potato mix, and breads are all great options. Cheese and vegan alternatives are also good choices, but make sure you have something to safely store leftovers in.
For breakfasts, powdered milk, porridge, cereal bars, and breakfast-style options of dehydrated or freeze-dried camping food are all excellent choices.
Don't forget snacks! Flapjack, dried fruit, nuts, fruit cake, malt loaf, and cereal bars are all perfect for keeping your energy levels up throughout the day.
But what shouldn't you bring? Anything that will go off, uncooked meat or soft cheese, anything you wouldn't want to eat if it got squashed, and fresh vegetables. Remember, your wild camping diet is all about high energy, low effort foods.
So, pack smart, eat well, and enjoy your wild camping adventure! Just don't forget to brush up on your measurement skills before you set off.
