genepires Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 small bobili pizza crust with sauce, cheese sticks, whatever floats your boat. simmer with lid on. Quote
AlpineK Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Screw pep sticks. Landjaeger rules, and it goes good with beer. Seriously, I've done some longer trips and taken 1 stick a day. Quote
powderhound Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 http://www.us.knorr.com/products_landing.asp?nav=10 These lipton bags make pretty good bases, you can always add some type of fresh veggies or some type of flavored tuna. Add to tortillas and they are excellent. Quote
ericb Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 My favorite freeze dried is Jane's Farm organic Chili Mac....it's vegetarian but great stats with protein/fat/carbs, and if you buy it direct, you can get the two serving packs in bulk direct from her website for a reasonable price. Still a bit spendy, but I think it's worth it....also, no dishes! Quote
Denizen Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 curry tuna packs from Trader Joe's with couscous...instant yum Quote
spotly Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Instant taters with powdered butter and dried meat or tofu bacon bits. All put into ziplock baggies. Add hot water and squish to mix. Yummy. Quote
skyclimb Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Ate two marmots about two weeks ago...skinned them up, cut off the back legs(they are mostly gut), and then cooked in aluminum foil with lemon and pepper...pretty tasty, although quite gamey. I have been trying to kill a grouse for weeks, probably lost 500 dollars in time running around after those sneeky fuckers. Can't wait for that though. Anywho, I usually will go with a good quesadilla( tortilla, hotdogs, cheese, salsa, lemon), horsecock and pasta with cheese, cheese fondue(cheese, wine, bread)...and the biggest food trick is nutter butter bars....310 calories per bar....two boxes equals two days! Throw in a pack of tuna, and you have a good grade V lightwight calorie fest. Quote
joblo7 Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 hard to beat quality pre-packed meals.try some on hikes before picking the one that works for you.generally, dont eat stuff you never eaten before. Quote
Lisa_D Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 pasta, basil pesto, parmesan. A few fresh veggies (peppers, broccoli) are awesome if you want to carry the extra weight. Quote
pup_on_the_mountain Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Cheese soup - edam cheese, boiled water, milk powder, chex-mix, salt, red chilli powder. Need to melt the cheese slowly so that it does not form lumps. Best cheese soup in the mountains! On a side note, those were ALL the ingredients we had after we had to spend an extra night out in camp . Quote
TrogdortheBurninator Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I love mountain house lasagna! I go on so few overnight trips, that the $6 for a mountain house seems more than worth it for the taste-nutrition-convenience combo. I'm not sue why any weekend warriors wouldnt just sack up for the cost of freeze dried meals. Quote
catbirdseat Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 1/2 package Knorr Broccoli-Cheese soup mix, one cup instant potato flakes, 1/3 cup powdered milk, a tablespoon of either butter or olive oil. Add hot water, mix and eat. Quote
XXX Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 I just buy a 3 foot sub and attach it to my pack! Quote
ericb Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 If you are cool throwing down for freeze dried, try Mary Jane's Farm Chili Mac.....change your life.....swear. They sell it at REI and Backcountry.com....but in the 1.5 servings pouches....not quite enough fuel for me....I got it direct in the 2 serving pouches for less than REI sells the 1.5. Check out the specs....double it for the 2 serving pouch Specification Description Net weight 4.9 ounces Serving size 1 cup Servings per container 1.5 Calories per serving 350 Calories from fat 80 Total fat per serving 9 gram Saturated fat 5 grams Cholesterol per serving 20 milligrams Sodium 530 milligrams Carbohydrates per serving 50 grams Dietary fiber 8 grams Sugar 2 grams Protein 18 grams Quote
ClimbingPanther Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 freeze dried meals and instant potatoes. 1 pack of each is perfect for a dinner for two. instant oatmeal for breakfast. Quote
G-spotter Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 knorr = 5-10g of trans fat per serving, ewww Quote
Brewer Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 A good friend of mine has access to a freeze-drier used for food science research. We like to make: Chicken Tikka Masala Green Chile Stew Dahl (can you tell we like Indian food?) Schezuan Beef all sorts of other stuff (ie: nearly anything). Meals for two weigh barely 200-400 grams, you can eat it right out of the bag, and GOOD GOD does it taste divine! Quote
pink Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) go light. leave the stove behind unless you need to melt snow. Edited July 30, 2007 by pink Quote
olyclimber Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 bring whatever, just make sure you bring some jal-lap-panoe to put on it. Quote
111 Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 The only spices needed are pepper, chili pepper, powdered garlic, and salt. They improve anything. Quote
