Any suggestion on freeze dried food to eat when 4 day back packing or what to eat

Healthy food to carry in my back pack when back packing no way to chill ? Only carry a gallon of water and should I lean to more carbs as opposed to majority protein since 10 hrs a day of non stop calorie burning ? MRE's are not a FKN option ! !

Should I consider more fresh fruit ? ie. bananas, apples , oranges , nuts and berries ? Can haul frozen meat for 1st night and possible egg beaters for 1st breakfast of the trail and what to eat for meat ? ? ? ? Not a fan of dried jerky ? :7up:

Any experience welcome to advise me ?

I eat nature vally oat bars and bananas are good for travel to

jerky, dried fruits, nuts, protein bars, plenty of water!

you are going back packing mate just suck it up and eat the jerky for 4 days!!

i like what the others said.

what about protein powder?

I have room ? Just water is a Gal and a qt. to carry and get the rest on the trail .

I think IMHO I will be able to eat more Carbs and still be looking for energy with a steady 10 mile a day pace ? Not counting breaks and FK off time ! I like my sleep gear but may change to hammock and netting ?

I think it is going to be amazing for the steady walking and extra weight ! Will use muscles I have been missing :)

Any more non perishable foods that are healthy that will last 5 days & 4 nights with day time heat in the 90* ranger ?

Will is still need majority protein or for this period of time will carbs work due to extra amount of steady caloric burning all day and then good sleep ?

I have been given many suggestion and some pretty good ones ? ?

See what you think :shrug:

for 3 days and 3 nights , 1/2 a day on starting day and end last day about 2:00 or 3:00 if all goes as planned .

Last day would like a big good breakfast and no idea ?

Dinner will be only the 1st night ?

Bunches of canned Tuna and Chicken
Bunch of green Bananas
Blue Berries
Nuts
Apples even Oranges
Good ole Peanut Butter :)
Protein Powder
Homemade Protein Bars
Frozen bacon for Breakfast 1st morn
One guy even said Freeze Egg Beaters and maybe Breakfast and lunch 1st day ?
Try to kill a snake and cook it ? Sounds strange but lots of snakes in North GA :)

I have humped a pack for over 20 days and sucked it up and got by ! This is for pleasure and to enjoy ! Not to suck it up and hurry up and be through with it ! It is medication relaxing and exercising at the same time :) and good times and good memories ! Not I am hungry ! I want anything to eat ! lol, Mates are sailors on a ship and I am a Marine not a Mate except to women and then I am a Mate :)

I still want more variety and different meat for the end of packing ? Anymore ideas out side the box that are obvious ?

Sounds like a good time, enjoy

Hell yeah!

Catching frogs is easy, go at night and use your hands! Just don't grab at the ones with red eyes, that would be a gator!

I was on the camping section of walmart just the other day, they had a huge variety of freeze dried meals

wack a bunch of squirrels and grill that s**t or make a stew that's some good organic protein

yea I used to when I was young on camping trips never took me too long but iv never been scared of a little work jus like cab legs its also a lot of work for little meat I live in the south though we eat game all the time

I think you need a come back to reality ! There are no guns allowed in National Parks and I stated earlier I kill Squirrels weekly ! I did not share that I had cleaned and ate them also so don't be a dick because you are slow to understand the difference between back packing and squirrel hunts . You do seem to be an expert on dicks though do you eat them also ?

Chill and don't act like a child if possible ! I am a man not a dude laddy ! LMAO !

ok im not a LADDY first of all?? and just because you cant do nothing but eat rice cakes and power bars on a trip doesn't mean everyone else does ,and don't make gay remarks because that's prob the whole reason your going camping so you and ur buddys can do some broke back mountain typ of stuff so here's a something you need to bring.. LUBE! and if you cant handle somebody telling you something then don't make post asking for advise

and whose being a child here when your first response was( do you eat dicks)??? that's not something a mature person would say nothing you have said is mature

You are a 23 yr old kid ! Plainly this post was not meant for boys ? OK ? Just let it go and go play games and shoot ppl on TV . . . lol :)

If your not a laddy what are you 23 yr old child then ? Oh smart guy a laddy is a young male ? ? ? ?

lol im 25 you don't even know what you are talking about and no im not a lady im a mother****in American and we don't say dumb shit like that so quit trolling. and I have asked a couple people about you and they say you are always an asshole so im not even going to argue with you

and I may be 25 and on the young side but im a man I have a degree in( mechanical engineering) and another degree in (computer integrated machining) so this young guy can teach you a thing or 2 about anything!!! but you need more of a lesson about how to treat people
