the "Backcountry Foodie" channel on here has some great recipies and her meal plan recipes are absolutely amazing if you're looking for healthy/filling options that are calorie and vitamin dense while also being super packable and affordable.
Weight to calorie ratio is important to me due to the length of my hunts. I usually take an 8 ounce plastic bottle of olive oil (I actually use an old Dr Brown's baby bottle) and add an ounce to my evening Mountain House meals. It boosts the calories and tastes great. Most of the long term (20+ years) storage foods are bereft of fats because fats go rancid so fast. But as a backpacker, fats are your most calorie dense foods. For moral and energy boosts, I take Peanut M&Ms because they taste great and are calorie dense with the fatty peanuts. Great video.
Pasta and rice sides, don't carry the bag, dump it in a jiffy bag, add a spoon of milk powder, herbs as appropriate, dehydrated onions, mushrooms (from the supermarket), dehydrated mixed vegies, tomato, capsicum as needed. Just add water and heat. My fave is Continetal Bacon Carbonara, with tomato, capsicum, onion, mushroom and chilli flakes. Fry up some sausage, then add the mix and water as needed.
Canned chicken tacos became a staple for our scouts along with PBJ roll ups on flour tortillas. Quesadilla with canned bega cheese. Corn cakes made from Marie Calenders corn bread mix with pre cooked bacon.
This was great. One item that is great for that savory fix is a miso soup packet. I find them at the grocery for about 50 cents each. It’s a great salty, umami-y change of pace. Especially nice from a hot thermos when it’s cold and you’re on the go (post coffee)
Coffee and dates bars, is good option for hard and long climbs/hike! Plenty of energy * 225 g Oats * 250 g Honey * 250 g PB * 100 g Dark chocolate (+85%) * 150/200 g Dates * 50/75/100 g Fresh grounded coffee (i use 100 g, works great)
Great video! Yes, more videos with Kara please. My daughters like to watch hunting videos with me, and it's great to show them that hunting, fishing, and outdoor pursuits are not just for men.
That was an excellent breakdown of how to plan your backcountry meals; breakfast 🍳 through dinner 🥘 and snacks. Where to cut some cost corners, by spending more prep time and less money 💵. I like everything that you mentioned and also added those $1 Idaho Potato 🥔 instant pouches that come in different flavors. I agree Marcus, one of the more fun hunts to watch last year was the Alaska hunt where she was literally chasing caribou down with a bow 🏹
It is refreshing to see a normal couple sitting down and just talking. I would watch your interactions on any number of topics. The female perspective is refreshing. Topics like a tent for a couple, bathroom needs (pooping), electronics you may carry. Thanks for the video.
For my job, I prep the food for 80 people to do a week of backpacking in The Bob. We don’t do any freeze dried meal bags but we do purchase freeze dried beef in bulk for a taco dinner. We have perfected the art of knorr pasta combines with some kind of protein for hearty, tasty, and lightweight dinners. My entire garage is currently full of backpacking food!
I vote more Kara videos! Good video and tips for backcountry meals on a budget. Me and my wife love to eat and eat well when we are hunting so great video!
Going on hike for few days next week. Breakfast Quaker Instant Oatmeal Lunch A mix of seed/nut mix bars - beef jerky - Deer pepperoni - Apple and most likely some cheese Dinners Knorr Select rice and beans and pasta side kicks Cheep and light and you can mix it up a bit by adding jerky or pepperoni to the Pasta Sidekick, maybe even berries picked on the way
All great ideas, thank you! One thing I have found to keep breakfast more varied and interesting is making what we call protein pancakes ahead of time, which are mostly eggs, cottage cheese, and oatmeat (with some vanilla and baking powder). These can be eaten plain, though a little dry, or bring some butter, or one can even bring small containers of peanut butter and syrup for pancakes in the backcountry! Of course these wouldn't be advised for many days in the backcountry in warm weather, so maybe have these the 1st morning and other stuff for consecutive days.
As a two time AT thru-hiker and a Colorado Trail hiker, I had to pay close attention to "cooking directions" on the back of many of these products. It it required any dairy, it was a NO GO, however, a good substitute for butter were those Olive Oil packets I found on Amazon.
Good ideas. Couscous takes flavor from whatever you add to it...dry spice, fruit, nuts, etc. Faster than rice. Powder peanut butter, powder humus. Newberg team needs a freeze drier. Could make homemade meals in off season with game meat so ready for hunting season like Baty's do. Advantage is you know the contents for your hunters with sugar, sodium restrictions. Great to see Kara!😀 Kara and women hunt video would be great!
Always enjoy the videos. I like to take tortillas peanut butter and raw honey. I also like Idahoan mashed potatoes, they come in a lot of different flavors.
Instant potato packets! all sorts of flavors just like pastas and rice and super quick like couscous. add cured meets, bacon bits, etc too. I've dehydrated spinach and kale to mix in with stuff too.
Thank you for your insightful information. My wife and I have been camping/backpacking/mountaineers for many years. DIY pack food has always been the menu. Imagination is the limit. Experience teaches what works for you. You nailed the principles dead on.
I like to pre-make my breakfasts and also dehydrate a lot of different fruits. You can add MCT powder and powdered peanut butter to oatmeal, along with chia seeds. I like dehydrated apricots and plums the most. They are high in fiber to help keep things moving.
Love it. Save some coin for tags, equipment, etc. Not super expensive freeze dried good that literally turns to forest fertilizer! The prepackaged meals are pretty decent but not for the huge cost. 1 week in the backcountry with prepackaged can be $150+ OR you can make your own alternatives for no more than $50 & the homemade stuff is every bit as good! Great tips! Too many people see "TV Hunters" using extravagant products and gear that costs a fortune. Save the coin on homemade and you might actually be able to afford the gas to get out into the Mountains!
Couscous is the best hot food, but it's a little light on calories. I like adding a pouch of tuna in oil to it for protein & fat calories. The yellowfin in olive oil with sundried tomatoes is awesome for couscous, but I'll use other flavors for the other pasta sides. Larabars are awesome. Summer sausage is great. Cheese is good when it's cooler. Peanut butter & banana tortillas don't hold up more than day, but I love them for food that sticks with you. Need more stuff like this! More food tips, and more sarcasm from Kara!
The yellowfin in oil was my lifeline working conservation. It's so dense and good, the oil really makes it. I eat it on stoned wheat crackers. It does add up cost wise but it regularly goes on deep sale. It was the only thing I didn't get sick of. Larabars are legit but for some reason when I'm in the wild they're too aggressive for my stomach. Probably because it's getting combined with instant coffee on top of poor sleep.
This was outstanding. As always, Marcus is just a nice dude and entertaining to watch, and yes, more from Kara, just a "normal" person who likes to be outside.
Thanks for the great video Marcus and Wife! Opened my eyes to other alternatives, like you said; mountain houses are convenient but they are expensive. I'm going to try some of these tips this fall!
You are both awesome, and for being so young I think you nailed it amazingly in this video from start to finish. Great advice for experienced or novice or aspiring outdoorspeople. : )
Great information. Hossier Hill Farm has some of the best dried milk and cheese products I have found. They are 100% natural. Their dried milk is almost like fresh and is the only powdered milk I have found that is actually good and enjoyable. They also have powered sour cream, butter, cheese powder, mac mix, alfreado mix, etc. that can be used as add-ins in DIY dry meals. The butter powder can be added right into your oats or grits dry mix and sealed. It is also a great addition to Idahoan potatoes. One half a cup of butter to two tbl. spoons of cool water will make 1/4 cup of smooth butter spread. I also love and use a lot of the new tuna packages of various flavors, as well as chicken, salmon etc. Walmart has a pretty darn good pulled pork in a packet. Most of these packes do not run over $1.50. Adding a chicken pack to some Knorr's will kick it up an entire level. Great video ...I subbed.
Homemade granola bars and dried bananas are yummy and easy to do and store .and make your own jerky and granola cereal far healthier as you know what's in it .great ideas Kara we always made are own stuff for trips and when your 250 miles from the nearest store it's be self reliant..pick and dry your own berries . Blueberries and huckleberries and the red huckleberries are great
Thanks for the great ideas! I would definitely watch more of this type of content. Even one little nugget of new info is worth watching. Thanks and would welcome more Kara videos.
Most of the popular meal brands are geared for 2 people. I find they're simply not tasty enough for me to eat the entire packet. So, I usually divide each meal into 2 servings before each trip. Place one in a zip-lock and the other back into the original packet. That divide the cost in half so it's about $5 to $6 per meal. Still cheaper than any fast food meal.
the "Backcountry Foodie" channel on here has some great recipies and her meal plan recipes are absolutely amazing if you're looking for healthy/filling options that are calorie and vitamin dense while also being super packable and affordable.
I make a lot of my own dehydrated food might be time consuming but it's worth it one thing you guys got to think about is some people can't deal with all the 1200 g of sodium and high intake of sugar makes you shake. I almost never do mountain House type food. Kachava! Mixed with collagen protein or sometimes on cold days hot chocolate added to is my breakfast. This way you're getting tons of nutrients and you're not spending time cooking and having to clean a pot. I make my own dehydrated chicken soup vegetables but another great idea is to dehydrate hamburger rehydrated put it in a tortilla with string cheese and Taco Bell sauce do the same thing with foil tuna. Even though it's a little heavy I do bring a stick of salami thanks guys
This video is MORE IMPORTANT than you realize. You should share this video with van lifers, people who live on the road, as all this food has long shelf life. Also share it wirth the elderly, these are healthy meals that are cheap for people on a budget.
How many times do you need to buy a pack, boots, rifle, outer layers or optics? Once in five years if you're hunting like a maniac. How often do you have to eat? Once a day? shoot, I eat at least twice a day. Three times on weekends.
@@rkayser89 I think you missed my point. I think it’s great they made this video. The original commenter doesn’t understand that they get free gear from those companies and not from mountain house.

Since you are just doing weekends, weight isn't a problem. Bring a steak or sausage and cook it over a fire. Meat will keep for a day marinating in a freezer bag and once cooked, it will last another day. My best cooking tool is a bar-b-que fork that I stick the steak on and hold it over a fire. I used to use a cooking stick, but when I was done, the stick would smell like food and dogs would eat the stick. I changed to a bar-b-que fork cause I don't want the dogs to get hurt eating wood.
Reference the pasta sides, open packet, place in jiffy bag, add tablespoon milk powder, italian herbs, dried mushrooms, dried onions (both available in Asian food stores). Only rubbish to carry out 8s the jiffy bag.
Tuna, chicken, salmon packets. Toss one in with a packet of knorr rice/pasta side. Theres your crab and protein. If you take the pack of oats its easier clean up. Open up the packet and dump water into it. Stir and eat it. Yes use packet as the bowl.
My go to breakfast...2 of them actualy 1-oats, cinnamon, dehydrated bannana chips, brown sugar, powdered milk, P&B fit powder, chopped nuts of your choice and lastly....a small amount of coco powder for that chocalote taste. Just add boiling water. expresso
In Canada, dehydrated foodpacks are 16.00 to 18.00, for 2 meals is not cost effective, these are good ideas, but keep in mind, when backpacking, you need water, water = weight.
Great video my son and I hit up the dollar store before a camping trip and can supply a weekend for far cheaper than the grocery store and we get a lot of the items you mentioned. I'm definitely going to try the toasted oats next trip sounds delicious
I bought a fair amount of freeze dried chicken that I add to my ramen or knors. At today's prices I am not buying anymore freeze dried food. At today's prices a freeze dryer is looking cheap at 2500 dollars.
Awesome info guys...Marcus got to bulk up with protein powder milk...do it...video wad very helpful...keep them comming...ill be In bozeman this weekend!..
What other backcountry food ideas do you have?
the "Backcountry Foodie" channel on here has some great recipies and her meal plan recipes are absolutely amazing if you're looking for healthy/filling options that are calorie and vitamin dense while also being super packable and affordable.
Try instant mash potatoes you can get a lot of different flavors and really cheap. Also grits is very good and has a lot of different flavors.

For moral and energy boosts, I take Peanut M&Ms because they taste great and are calorie dense with the fatty peanuts. Great video.
My wife makes home made trail mix. peanuts, almonds, dried fruit, chocolate chips, pecans ect.
Wraps with crunchy peanut butter, rolled up. Add whatever else you would like, bananas, dried fruit etc
"Oh look there's a Bunny outside"
" It looks yummy"
That totally made my day 🤣
Pasta and rice sides, don't carry the bag, dump it in a jiffy bag, add a spoon of milk powder, herbs as appropriate, dehydrated onions, mushrooms (from the supermarket), dehydrated mixed vegies, tomato, capsicum as needed.

Kara throwing some serious shade with that swole comment and look. 🤣🤣🤣
7:10
Coffee and dates bars, is good option for hard and long climbs/hike! Plenty of energy
* 225 g Oats
* 250 g Honey
* 250 g PB
* 100 g Dark chocolate (+85%)
* 150/200 g Dates
* 50/75/100 g Fresh grounded coffee (i use 100 g, works great)
The heat and serve rice packets of various brands/flavors work great and save on water.

Bread always seems to get squashed in my pack so I like using bagels or tortilla wraps for my sandwiches

Long distance backpackers use things like this all the time! Love that you guys are bringing this to the hunting crowd.

Another hiker I watched suggested dried mango with chili seasoning. That’s so good on the trail.

Gnoichi is a great idea. I am going to have to try that while off grid.
The Thanksgiving Dinner is one of my favorites,Instant stuffing (stovetop), mashed potatoes, gravy packet, and chicken pouch. 😋
Oh YEA! This should be a weekly series, from now till "season" at least ")

Great Job Marcus & Kara yes keep the backpacking information coming. Like meals, hydration, packs and maybe
Yes we need to see Kara's Elk hunt and more hunts with you both
God's Blessings on all your adventures
Thanks Marcus and Kara great ideas there... definitely do more please! Much love and respect from down under! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks for the video!! Definitely gives different ideas instead of buying the expensive meals!! Keep it up
I feel like I’m totally dense, protein powder in the oatmeal!!!!!! What a brilliant take away!!!!!! Thanks. 😊
Gettin swole in the backcountry 🤣
This is a brilliant video! Doing the meals this way will easily save enough money to afford an extra (resident) tag each year
What matters is taking food you will eat.
Definity get her on more hunts....LOL>..i love the cute bunny line....looks YUMMY!

Also share it wirth the elderly, these are healthy meals that are cheap for people on a budget.
Pepperonis are good easy and salty that and some string cheese yummy 😋
Baby bell cheese also, they’re shelf stable at room temp, especially with the wax wrapper.
A package of tuna in a knorrs side is not bad at all. The two together aren’t overly heavy and have solid nutritional value.
Mystery ranch packs, Kennetrek boots, Full Sitka layers, all high-end Leupold glass, “this $8 Mountain house is really breaking the bank”. 😂😂
Theyre sponsored by all those companies, not Mountain House😉
@@zach5620 But the average person is not. This is great for those of us that don't have sponsorships.
How many times do you need to buy a pack, boots, rifle, outer layers or optics? Once in five years if you're hunting like a maniac. How often do you have to eat? Once a day? shoot, I eat at least twice a day. Three times on weekends.

I ❤️ love Mountain House
Great info for a flatlander trying to get into the backcountry!
Good stuff guys! I prefer to meal prep because convenience is expensive. Great advice for someone who has an actual budget.
this is by far the best food video I have seen.
Tuna, chicken, salmon packets. Toss one in with a packet of knorr rice/pasta side. Theres your crab and protein. If you take the pack of oats its easier clean up. Open up the packet and dump water into it. Stir and eat it. Yes use packet as the bowl.
My go to breakfast...2 of them actualy
1-oats, cinnamon, dehydrated bannana chips, brown sugar, powdered milk, P&B fit powder, chopped nuts of your choice and lastly....a small amount of coco powder for that chocalote taste. Just add boiling water.
expresso
Really loved this. You guys are my kind of people.
granola with vanilla protein is one of my absolute favorite breakfasts. reminds me of the blueberry granola by mountain house by WAY cheaper
In Canada, dehydrated foodpacks are 16.00 to 18.00, for 2 meals is not cost effective, these are good ideas, but keep in mind, when backpacking, you need water, water = weight.
Hmm good things to think about. Thanks.
You bet!
Homemade granola bars they are easy , cheap , make to taste and good for any meal or quick snack.
Good tip
Great video and great information
I love that you guys are HUNTERS!! NICE !!!
I will be buy a freeze dryer because it’s best for long trim
Thanks for sharing 👍! More of Kara's money 💰 saving tips and ideas! Kill and cook bunny 🐰 next.
Right on guys. Love the fun little video
Nido milk replacement for infants is a really good dried milk alternative.
Good info. gave it a like. "ohh look a bunny....... looks yummy" LOL
So how do you cook those knorr packets with just the stove? Do you boil it for the same 7 mins? Wouldn’t that waste a lot of the fuel?
Those that date Mary Jane would need Beau Baty's Lamas just for food! Lol...
Great video my son and I hit up the dollar store before a camping trip and can supply a weekend for far cheaper than the grocery store and we get a lot of the items you mentioned. I'm definitely going to try the toasted oats next trip sounds delicious
Thank you for the back packing info!
I like the way she pronounces "bullion" as "bull-ee-on" instead of "bull-yun"
Made me smile
(Ever heard Dixie/HomemadeWanderlust call them "ray-men" noodles? (Even typing that made me giggle.)
Great advice
Good information, thanks for putting this out there.
Thanx Kara, I thought couscous was an Asian grain! I will try this. Good presentation.
Had no idea hummus powder was out there. I need to try this.
@@MichaelTheophilus906 That's cool. These things have come a long way.
Awesome video! Great ideas! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching
+1 on Kara doing more hunts
I bought a fair amount of freeze dried chicken that I add to my ramen or knors. At today's prices I am not buying anymore freeze dried food. At today's prices a freeze dryer is looking cheap at 2500 dollars.
Awesome info guys...Marcus got to bulk up with protein powder milk...do it...video wad very helpful...keep them comming...ill be In bozeman this weekend!..
Instant grits is another good one
