fleblebleb Posted June 4, 2002 Posted June 4, 2002 The more people I go on trips with, the more nice food tricks I learn, so I figure this might make an interesting thread... what food do you people like to bring on multi-day trips? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted June 4, 2002 Posted June 4, 2002 Tuna but not in a can. The ones in the pouch come without the water weight. I hear a famous dude likes horse cock and cheese Quote
Necronomicon Posted June 5, 2002 Posted June 5, 2002 "Bowl o' Food" is pretty good. It's a bowl of food. I also like ass, followed by a side of tortured dingus. When that isn't available, snow serves as an excellent food substitute. Quote
freeclimb9 Posted June 5, 2002 Posted June 5, 2002 good for a couple days: pita rollup. Use fresh pita, or a tortilla, spread with cream cheese. Add some olives, mild chiles, maybe some cold cuts and roll it up. Wrap in Sara wrap and put in a ziploc. They hold up well to being smashed in a pack. Quote
Dru Posted June 5, 2002 Posted June 5, 2002 Gummy bears, landjaeger, sesame snaps, choklit for lunch. Â Bloatmeal, or Ichiban/Ramen, or choklit pudding for breakfast. That instant potato thing is too gross. Â Lots of garlic for dinner, maybe with soup and/or pesto and pasta added to it. Beware of boil in the bag curry eruptus. Â Jaegermeister and a bud of the good green for after dinner. Esp. in Muir Hut. Quote
Figger_Eight Posted June 5, 2002 Posted June 5, 2002 Spam, sardines in mustard sauce, Gu, Vienna sausages, Safeway deli chicken strips, canned fruit, and Butterfinger bars. Mmmmm Goood. Quote
Poseur Posted June 5, 2002 Posted June 5, 2002 Teriyaki turkey jerky, cup a soups, fig newtons, either a french roll or sometimes flour tortillas w/butter & jelly, maybe some other cookies, gu, cliff bars (uggh), sometimes freeze dried foods. That doesn't look to healthy now that I see it in writing. Quote

gapertimmy Posted June 5, 2002 Posted June 5, 2002 i like to buy the lipton spanish rice packets, usually about $1, 1 per person, and throw in some tortillas, some cheese if your real fancy  boil water, cook for 10 minutes, and it is grubbin chubbin lovin!  just ask jon, thats his fav  when I go backpacking, sometimes i'll bring that pre-packaged pad thai, mmmmmm!  can't go wrong with cous cous either cuz its so lite  for trips w/out stoves, bagles with peanut butter, pro max bars, gu, and my special freshieformula Quote
chucK Posted June 5, 2002 Posted June 5, 2002 That other barley product, Grape Nuts (or generic equivalent) with yogurt and raisins. It's like 1000 cals and facilitates colon motility. My climbing partners really enjoy it when I mix the whole mess up while steering with my knees. Quote
Bronco Posted June 5, 2002 Posted June 5, 2002 take a 2lb bag of rice and a small blow gun. Eat rice and whatever you can kill along the way. Bugs are nutritious too. Quote
fleblebleb Posted June 5, 2002 Author Posted June 5, 2002 Crossing my fingers hoping Bronco doesn't run into Bug on the trail... heh... Quote

TimL Posted June 5, 2002 Posted June 5, 2002 Schipoopi Sandwich (sp?) - Check Chris Mac's Big Wall Super Topo book for the recipe! Â [ 06-05-2002, 04:43 PM: Message edited by: TimL ] Quote
ryland_moore Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 I guess that must be in reference to Steve Schneider (who's nickname is Schipoopi). God knows what he eats - must be pretty creative when you are soloing a first ascent on Central Tower of Torres del Paine over 20 days. Damn 20 days alone on a big wall in Patagonia? Quote
Figger_Eight Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 The Donner Party had a pretty interesting backcountry diet... Quote
dalius Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Tasty Bites and cous cous. Tasty Bites are pre-cooked packed-in-foil-pouches Indian dinners. All you have to do is heat them up in boiling water, then take it out and use that water for cous cous. Voila! ***** 5 star indian dinner, even better than eating at home. The indian packets do wheigh a lot, but it is 100% worth it. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Peregrine Falcon eggs are good over medium. But only the eggs that come from Midnight Rock. Quote
iain Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Dinner is served! Â Â BTW, the Tasty Bite/couscous combo is right-on. The ultimate bachelor food for home too. Unfortunately they are like packing in a lead brick. Â -Iain Quote
Dru Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Do not take couscous on anything but a weekend trip or you will starve to death after the 2nd straight day of eating it...body revolts....will not place disgusting substance anywhere near mouth. Â What about good old BACON. Ed Abbey, in his books, is always cookin bacon for breakfast. You take a pound or so and fry it up good and you arent gonna get cold AT ALL during the day. Bacon taped over a blister will also heal it, and you can cut a slit in the bacon and put it over your eyes if you forgot your sunglasses.... Quote
iain Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Of course. I cut out a hamhock to use for my backpad/sleeping system. Doubles as a SAM splint. My megamid's like a meat locker on the winter ski trips. Quote
