    What food should I take on a hiking and camping trip?

    By HikingOn | April 18, 2009

    I need some good suggestions for food for a backpacking and camping trip. Trail mix, Jerky, and half cooked rice or oatmeal just doesn’t seem to cut it for me. There has to be something that is fulfilling and hearty.

      There are only two considerations when it comes to food: weight and bulk. Remember, you’re carrying everything on your back.

      Any outdoor recreation shop carries a line of freeze-dried foods, with almost the diversity as regular a regular market. But freeze-dried tends to be expensive. MREs are available at surplus stores, too.
