Want to enjoy yummy nourishing food on a backpack trip with minimal weight, prep time, cleanup or smelly bulky trash to pack out? Want an alternative to the high sodium and high expense of pre-packaged dehydrated meals? Want tips and tools for planning your backpacking menus to maintain your energy and avoid the ‘bonk’? And how to 'leave no trace' while doing it?
This virtual seminar will include tried-and-true ideas, tools and recipes for planning and prep before your trip, food for the trail and food prep at camp, including a couple of videos going into a number of specific examples of breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner options. You will also get some resources for ordering inexpensive dehydrated meals and will show you how to prepare your own from your favorite recipes. This class is for new backpackers and also for experienced ones who are ready to improve their food weight and enjoyment on the trail!
Note that this is NOT a 'trail cooking' class!
