Backpacking Food for the Soul
Pull up a stump.
We’re talking backpacking food.
What smells so good in that pot? That’s my Rockin’ Root Stew boiling up… yams, parsnips, turnips, and rutabaga with a dash of curry and cinnamon. Try some.
That pot in the photo belonged to my grandpa. When I was a boy, grandpa took me along on fishing trips to the Eastern Canadian wilderness and showed me how to fillet a walleye without cutting my fingers off. When grandpa passed on, I inherited his pots, fishing gear, a sharp knife, an old Bible, and a passion for wild places and good grub.
What’s your story? Does your passion for communing with nature persuade you to strap on a pack, walk for days and miles, and cook like a hobo over a flaming tuna fish can? If so, then you’ve found the right place. Grab your spoon and come on in.
At BackpackingChef.com, we explore new methods of cooking backpacking food while honoring the tried and true. You’ll find backpacking recipes with step-by-step instructions and photos, and a wealth of information about how to dehydrate backpacking food.
I’ll help you pack light-weight backpacking meals without skimping on nutrition and flavor. Going on an overnight hike? Fix yourself some Kickin’ Veggie Mac and Cheese for supper, Grahma Nanna Nilla Pudding for dessert, and Pizza Grits Supreme for breakfast. Toss in three dehydrated apples and you’re still packing less than ten ounces.
By carrying light and easy-to-cook food, you’ll eat well and have more time to pursue your true hunger… feeding your soul with a walk in the woods.
Follow your hunger,
P.S. Stop by after your next hike… I’ll be cooking up more recipes for you.
