I use the knor packets all the time. Some trips I bring jerky and add it while the water is boiling. Teriyaki jerky with the teriyaki noodles are my go to meal. So good
I really enjoy your solo hike videos. I enjoy the information you give about the trails and gear when you hike solo. I enjoy the group hikes also, they just have a different vibe. Thanks for sharing!
I dehydrated cooked sweet potatoes (the orange ones) and brought cinnamon.... OH MY, Cant believe Ive been carrying hydrated food all this time! Corn mushroom green beans dehydrate wonderfully as well. Stay healthy have fun :)
Love the organization with laying it all out day to day. Also like the way you printed off all those maps and taped them together for your mom-- will probably do the same for mine the next time I'm out for multiple days.. noticed you did that before for one of your thrus on the LHHT.. great vid Jason- really enjoying all of them. Your always on point and have lots of great info. Good luck on this trip and have fun man!
Check out EFS syrup flasks. Primarily for bikers/runners, they provide a quick burst of energy, electrolytes, and come in 3 flavors, 400 calories each. Also, refillable. I've also found Columbia Omni heat base layers effective. Good Luck!
Have you looked at solar power charger to top off your big battery while hiking? Seems like some you could strap to the outside of your bag and just charge up the whole day. Dunno how effective they are, but maybe in your situation worth the slight added weight?
On my side of the country they aren't too effective. You have to be in the sun a lot for those to work properly. Out west it might be better, for someone hiking the Pacific Crest Trail or something.
Have you already done a trial cooking of the knorr pasta sides? if you haven't you might. Some don't rehydrate well from what I understand, you may need to simmer some and or adjust your water volumes. Looking fwd to the video(s) best of luck.
I've thought about it a couple times because it would solve me always having to go buy coffee mate, would make my oatmeal taste better, and like you pointed out the knor sides. Maybe i'll try that soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hey bud I know you probably already have it but I figured I would bring it up. Don't forget some extra food and I would download the maps to your phone just in case! Good luck and I look forward to the videos!!
Try the trader joe's instant coffee! It has the sugar and creamer pre mixed in and tastes AMAZING! You can even grab it on amazon if you don't have a Trader Joe's locally! In my opinion it's way better than the Starbucks instant coffee.
Have a great time! Watched a Shug video the other day, any thought to flies and mosquito's? His group kind of raved about the battery operated fan you can clip on, besides DEET and Premetherin of course.
+CC-Coder the we're doing the border route trail and it was really muddy I think is the video you were referred to. We are using peremthrin and pacaridin lotion
Nice video and peak into your man-cave. One thing tough, we can easily swap out that Penguins sign with one from the Flyers. Aside from that keep up the great work! Peace.
Question: On part one of this video you stated that there are strict camping restrictions on your route. Do you know why they do this? I think is stupid but there has to be a reason that I am not aware. Thanks.
you are a RUclipsr. Logically if I was you, I would break the video into each section of the hike. I think There's 8 full section/part of the full superior trail. Break it into 8 parts, release it each once every weekend. Now you have 2 month of video to upload 👍👍👍 have fun be safe.
Hey Jason, Nice video again, thanks! I get the whole organization idea behind packaging everything seperately. Especially for dinner it makes sense. But don't you think having a seperate ziplock bag each day for snacks, sugar, electrolyte replacements and whatnot is a bit much? I mean, weight is one thing but all that plastic waste... Wouldn't it be possible to put all the M&Ms for one section in one bag and then eat out of that for example. Or let's say all the sugar for your morning coffee or couscous etc. I mean you're gonna carry it through one section anyway. Why not safe a little weight and more importantly, some plastic? I did a 2-week trip in Sweden one summer with only one resupply and I carried all the coffee and sugar I needed for the entire trip in one bag. I measured I need (for example) one spoon of coffee mix and half a spoon of sugar each morning. That way I didn't need to pack everything seperately. Same works for nuts or raisins and stuff. Just needs a little discipline when snacking ;-) And you don't create that much trash, that you have to carry out again. Let me know what you think. Looking forward to your videos of the trip! Cheers
+Philipp Al you make a good point. I could have combined the snack into a bigger bag. However I'm forcing myself on this trip to stay in a specific calorie intake. Usually my snack bag is a quart size Ziploc with everything in it and I just pick from there. For this trip is wanted to make sure I was eating the right amount due to calories. Each little snack bag weighs 3.5oz . But yes I should be a bit better with waste.
so looking forward to these videos. nice. when is your estimation of the first upload? btw. you're quite an organized guy. are you an accountant or IT person? pls make sure Shirtless Gary is shirtless around 60% of the trip
After thursday's QA. There won't be any activity on the channel I'm hoping the monday following the weekend I get back I'll be able to have the Day 0 video done. While I'm working on that video I'll be transferring the video files from the trip to my pc. (it takes quite a while) And yes I am an IT guy.

I'm gonna have to try that trail bar recipe. Sounds healthy but lots of energy. Moms worry, mine does the same.
I'm digging the food prep. I'm doing the Never Summer wilderness trail soon and your style of preparation was really helpful.
I use the knor packets all the time. Some trips I bring jerky and add it while the water is boiling. Teriyaki jerky with the teriyaki noodles are my go to meal. So good
I really enjoy your solo hike videos. I enjoy the information you give about the trails and gear when you hike solo. I enjoy the group hikes also, they just have a different vibe. Thanks for sharing!
Safe trip guys. Enjoy watching the videos can't wait for the Superior hiking trail ones
Have fun in our state!
Good luck man! you guys are gonna have a blast. Memories that will last your lifetime.
Great videos - views are almost indescribable
Looking forward to the videos man...
What an Epic journey this will be. Can't wait to see the video.
Looks like load of fun!! Be safe.
I dehydrated cooked sweet potatoes (the orange ones) and brought cinnamon.... OH MY, Cant believe Ive been carrying hydrated food all this time! Corn mushroom green beans dehydrate wonderfully as well. Stay healthy have fun :)

Thanks Stowe!
1:50 Mom comes through again. Thanks for the post.

A and D ointment is a gift from God
Looks good and well thought out!! I like the idea of doing a two part video. You will get a lot of video footage to edit.
Can not wait for this video, as dumb as it may sound i like to see food prep. Good luck and happy hiking my friend....

gotcha. hopefully that tech will improve before too long.
Jason are you going to do a video on the gear you are taking on the superior hike
Yes every year I plan a big hike and right after I usually do a gear list video of everything I brought and changes I've made
Have you already done a trial cooking of the knorr pasta sides? if you haven't you might. Some don't rehydrate well from what I understand, you may need to simmer some and or adjust your water volumes. Looking fwd to the video(s) best of luck.
I learned on the trail the hard way after making some accidental rice soup. I found that using half the water that the package calls for works great.
Have you thought of bringing dry powdered milk to make the pasta sides by knor a lot better.also you can add it to milk , coffee . Etc..☺
I've thought about it a couple times because it would solve me always having to go buy coffee mate, would make my oatmeal taste better, and like you pointed out the knor sides. Maybe i'll try that soon. Thanks for the suggestion.
Starbucks instant coffee is a game changer! Much better that tasters choice
Hey bud I know you probably already have it but I figured I would bring it up. Don't forget some extra food and I would download the maps to your phone just in case! Good luck and I look forward to the videos!!
+Fishing with Phil Thanks. Yes I have extra food and I actually will loads the maps on my phone , that's a better idea.
Outdoor Adventures gut hook app is what a lot of thru hikers are using.
+Fishing with Phil yup I have it on my phone already
Try the trader joe's instant coffee! It has the sugar and creamer pre mixed in and tastes AMAZING! You can even grab it on amazon if you don't have a Trader Joe's locally! In my opinion it's way better than the Starbucks instant coffee.
Awesome thanks!

Haha. But 1975 was so long ago =P
Swefish ftw!
Question: On part one of this video you stated that there are strict camping restrictions on your route. Do you know why they do this? I think is stupid but there has to be a reason that I am not aware. Thanks.
I'm sure it's to protect the area. You would have car campers galore pulling up and trashing the place.
Hi. Gross Weight of packing list? How long before would you train before a epic trip like this.
It's been a while but I think it was about 2lbs a food a day. Training consists of going hiking a decent bit and stretching to stay loose.
you are a RUclipsr. Logically if I was you, I would break the video into each section of the hike. I think There's 8 full section/part of the full superior trail. Break it into 8 parts, release it each once every weekend. Now you have 2 month of video to upload 👍👍👍 have fun be safe.

Where did you get the sugar packets?
+TNiss54 I got 1000 count empty bags on Amazon. They are 2" x 1" they make perfect containers for medicines and sugar
Hey Jason. Did you post the map links? I didn't find it. Thanx!
shta.org
im going to try the trail bars. do you know the nutrition facts? also how do they taste?
I don't know the nutrition facts but they taste pretty damn good.
What brand is your beef stroganoff. I would like to try and make it for my trips.
Mountain house. I'm sure you can make it very easily though.
Outdoor Adventures ok thanks. Thought it was a home made meal. Cant wate for your trip to start. Good luck.
Nah I just repack everything into smaller or manageable bags. Thanks man! Have a good one
so looking forward to these videos. nice. when is your estimation of the first upload? btw. you're quite an organized guy. are you an accountant or IT person? pls make sure Shirtless Gary is shirtless around 60% of the trip
After thursday's QA. There won't be any activity on the channel I'm hoping the monday following the weekend I get back I'll be able to have the Day 0 video done. While I'm working on that video I'll be transferring the video files from the trip to my pc. (it takes quite a while)
