I made the mistake of overpacking supplies but underpacking snacks on my last backpacking trip. I can confirm that hiking is a heck of a lot worse when you don't have snacks on hand.
I think if you pack some apples and put some peanut butter in Ziploc bags and bite the corner you can squeeze the peanut butter on the Apple has you go
I really wished I loved peanut butter that much. It would be such great calories and fat. But I just don't love it that much haha Thanks for all the suggestions!
Bonking occurs when your liver and muscles have used up their glycogen stores. When hiking at a light to moderate level of exertion, your body will get about 70-80% of your calories from fat stores and bonking should not occur for quite a few hours. If bonking is really an issue, then fats are not going to help much. At that point, you need a recovery drink (not solid food) and the best recovery drink will consist of a 4:1 ratio of simple sugars (dextrose and sucrose) to protein (preferably a pre-digested protein).
@@kaiokenkamikaze21 This is actually simpler than you might think. For a trail drink, don't try to get a lot of calories from your fluids. What you want is something that will replace electrolytes and minerals...and most importantly that you like enough to drink a lot of. Staying hydrated and keeping your electrolytes in balance is far more important than calories. Not to mention the fact that using a drink to get calories is not a good use of weight. Calories are far more concentrated in food and thus solid food is a better way to carry them. For a recovery drink, I make my own. A combination of glucose, sucrose, and a chocolate protein powder. I carry this dry and mix it with water when I need it. I mix equal parts of glucose and sucrose and then enough protein to get the right proportions.
Eating is as much of the process as moving your feet to get to the top of the mountain. You do it automatically. Set your watch timer if necessary - every 15 minutes eat and drink something. Keep it easily accessible so you don’t need to off-load your pack to get it.

Don't forget the snacks!!
"Few things I like to do is constantly eat"... I guess we got that in common... Even though I don't hike.
Thank you for sharing this. I will try some of it during next trip.
Wasabi almonds are awesome, but my favorite are salt and vinegar flavor!
This is great literally every question I have you have a video for thank you!

dehydrated fruit of any kind I great
This video is very very well put together. I’m new to hiking/backpacking and these ideas and information are extremely useful. Thanks!

You sound smarter than me.
@@BackpackingTV I doubt that, but I have spent way too much time reading on this subject over the past couple of months.
What drink would you recommend

Ofc its hard to plan what you are going to eat between breakfast and lunch.You may end up eating your friend that died on the trail.U never know
Great vid!
Was this filmed in Flagstaff at Buffalo Park?
Carbs are a must and potassium
just realised one of my favourite hiking snacks have hardly any energy some have had to swap them out for something else😭😭
I always mix pb with honey and molasses
How do u transport molasses also peanut butter and trail mix is good
@@thegoonsquad9760Coglhans refillable tubes
I'd just bring beef jerky and multivitamins. I don't like bringing stuff that requires cooking or utensils.
Id love to see some 1 week or more camping guide
Getting me hungry second time in a row XD

Always. Forever.
Constantly eat 😳😆

If I bring beef sticks into the woods won't bears smell that and kill me for them?
Hasn't happened to me yet! ;)
Not if they're shrink wrapped and sealed/unopened.. Just don't half finish one and leave the rest in your bag...
For the algorithm
100 miles from nowhere...
pervitin
wanted to watch this but the constant changing of camera angles is weird. not sure why so many youtubers do this in their videos.
My problem is I have no desire to eat or drink when hiking 😒
