- Hey guys! Today we sit down on the Great Divide Trail and talk about what I'm carrying for the last two sections of the GDT, sections "F" & "G." Emphasis on light weight foods that are budget friendly (cheap!) and ready to hike 200+ miles (300kms).
Happy Trails,
Kodak

With the Ramen I kick mine up a notch or two. I use the Dehydrated Vegetable Soup mix from Harmony House Foods. 3 Tablespoons of the soup mix and 2 of the dehydrated Cabbage ( I like Cabbage ) with a shot of Hot Sauce makes a tasty meal. For backpacking the hot sauce is actually powered by Texas Pete , Texas Pete original Dry Dust. Plenty of kick and flavor without the weight of a liquid.
That sounds good! Definately going to try it!
I freezer bag cook my food so repackage my food into pint size freezer bags. I eat breakfast, then 3 hours later, I have second breakfast. My go to breakfast is 1.5 cup cereal + 1/3 cup NIDO, add water, shake, for instant milk & cereal; Chili Ramen (broken up in small pieces) + 1 Cup boiling water + 2 packets Peanut Butter; 1/2 package Mash Potatoes + 1 cup boiling water + 1 packet BBQ Pulled Pork (From Walmart); Imitation Biscuits & Gravy = 1 package Ramen (Broken up in small pieces & don't use seasoning packet) + 1/2 packet "Pioneer Country Gravy" + 1/2 packet bacon pieces + 1 cup boiling water; Grits & Bacon = 2 packets butter flavored grits + 1/2 packet Bacon Pieces + 1 cup boiling water; "Buffalo Mac", which is 2 of those microwave Mac & Cheese cups + 1 cup boiling water + 1 packet Chicken Creations Buffalo Chicken. I rather have more smaller meals that a big meal so it doesn't spike with my blood sugar too much (have type 2 diabetes).
Have a dessert recipe for you. Put a packet of "No Sugar" Jello Pudding in a freezer bag + 1/3 cup NIDO. Then add 12oz water, shake for 3 minutes, stir to make sure no lumps, pudding will set up in 10 minutes.
Just figured out Chocolate Protein Milkshake for trail with 58g protein and 460 calories. Walmart sells Six-Star brand CASEIN Protein Powder for $20. Casein protein absorbs water differently than Whey Protein and produces a thicker drink. Two scoops Chocolate Casein Protein Powder + one scoop NIDO + 12oz water, shake, and instant milkshake (best to let sit a few minutes before drinking so doesn't taste gritty).
Pecans (3200 calories/pound) and Walnuts (3000 calories/pound) are the most calorie dense food and mostly protein & fat. You can get by just eating nuts. I usually bring a pound of Pecan halves from Walmart and they account for 500 of my daily calories.
Wow! It sound like you have your nutrition game going strong! I'll have to try that dessert recipe, it sounds good! And you are SOO very right about nuts. I often skip the expensive nuts in favor of peanuts because, well, they're expensive and my thru-hiker budget can't often handle Pecans and walnuts! 🤷♂️
Happy hiking!
This was such a cool video. Not only seeing what you eat but the surroundings are spectacular. Hope you both are having an amazing time, cheers from Seattle.
Thank you! You too!
That's a lot of food Kodak! Stay safe yinz guys!
Thanks Buddy! It really was a ton of food! Hurts even thinking about it now 😂
That's a lot of food to carry along, but some great ideas.
Thank you. It really was a lot of food!
Really enjoy y'all's vids. Thanks for sharing. Curious - when the stove exploded was there an injury?
Thank you! No, no one was injured and perhaps I embellished by saying “exploded.” It was more a ball of fire that everyone was able to run from until it burnt out. Left a big burn scar though.
@@RyanKodakBrown I think that still qualifies as an explosion lol. Glad no one was hurt!
Thanks for the video. Some cool ideas for the food. How many calories did you bring in total for this hike/planned for each day?
Thank you. I’m not positive as I didn’t calculate but I’d estimate around 3,000 or so per day.
@@RyanKodakBrown Thank you for your reply!
3,000 doesn't seem that many to me if you're hiking over difficult terrain.
You might want to consider Oat Powder rather than plain oats to reduce their volume for storage.
Oat powder?! Never heard of such a thing! I can barely stomach even regular oatmeal though. Thanks for sharing!
How much does the food way?
Too much! I don’t remember the exact amount, somewhere around 30 pounds?
@@RyanKodakBrown holy cow, just 4 food.
@@lickourballs1atatimeok Yeah, nearly two weeks worth with an average of around 2lbs / day. And that’s only for me! Ilse Carried a bit less but not much!
@@RyanKodakBrown that's a 50 lb backpack that's pretty good for your weight
@@RyanKodakBrown A good rule of thumb, is that somebody should be able to carry a quarter of their body weight. Some cases more
