YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY… I’VE GOT LOVE IN MY TUMMY

People will often ask us as we engage in conversations about thru-hiking, “What do eat while out on the trail?” Great question, right? I believe that a Hiker’s Menu is about as diverse and different as the Hiking Shoes a Hiker elects to wear.

For Slipper and I, we have a cold breakfast with a hot cup of coffee… a cold lunch and cold snacks with cold water… and a hot dinner with cold tea.

We use a Pocket Rocket Stove powered by a Propane Canister to heat the water for our morning Hot Starbucks Coffee and our evening Hot Dehydrated Dinner.

YUMMY… YUMMY.. YUMMY… I’VE GOT LOVE IN MY TUMMY.

Slipper and I have discovered to best combination of food and beverage to keep us strong and hydrated to tackle even the toughest of terrain.

Our typical meal combinations are:

BREAKFAST= Hot Coffee with Honey Bun

LUNCH= Peanut Butter Tortilla with Stinger Cookie & Filtered Water

DINNER= Hot Dehydrated Meal for 2 (shared spoon-for-spoon from the same pouch), Cold Tea and 1/2 Candy Bar

SNACKS= PayDay Candy Bar, Cliff Bar, Nut Mix with Filtered Water.

YUMMY… YUMMY… YUMMY… I’VE GOT LOVE IN MY TUMMY.
