Seeking a suggested food list for a 20 day winter Mojave desert backcountry solo hike without resupply. Any suggestions appreciated.
Go to travellighteatheavy.com and check out the menus. All are packed in plastic storage bags.
Go to golites website and track down Coup’s no resupply food list that he used on three alpine long trails this summer.
John – Thanks for the Coup info. I found it and it’s interesting stuff – a different take on most other food lists I’ve seen…much in line with Jardine’s thinking (but let’s not get into THAT!)
Nuts can defintely be a good thing to carry-higher the fat, so much the better. Since going on my low sodium diet I eat a 1/3 cup of no salt cashews with 1/8 cup of Craisins every day at work to keep going (there isn’t a lot I can eat) I plan on eating this while backpacking this coming spring (it’s a bit white out here right now!)
With you doing 20 days, weight will be a big issue, but for calories=weight, nuts are an excellent choice (especially with how dang heart healthy they are!)
I am a big propent of freezer bag style (but that is just me!) My website is http://www.freezerbagcooking.com – it is a free website with a very large database of recipes and concepts :-)It could give you some ideas at least!
