I like to take a long some of the flavored tuna pouches. They are a killer way to add some protein and flavor variety and pair easily with many starches including crackers and tortilla shells. I usually bring along LMNT packets and find that I feel better if I drink one during a day on trail. Trail mix of all kinds is great. One of my recent favorites is a peanut butter trail mix. Instead of your normal raisins and chocolate M&M's, it has mini peanut butter cups and peanut butter M&M's
Good morning 🌞🥾 I make my own trail mix using dry roasted Edamame Sea salt, Yupik salted sesame sticks, lightly salted roasted almonds, sunflower seeds dried cranberries, Oh Nuts Roasted no shell pumpkin seeds and M&Ms dark chocolate. Enjoy your journey in life and do what you love.. Thank you for sharing
I really love the packages of beef stick + cheese stick. For me, meat you can take on the trail (jerky or sticks) is usually too salty and hurts my mouth after a while. But if I can take a bite of cheese stick with it, it tastes better and I get I think healthier fat from the cheese.
I like getting peanut butter packets (1.15oz style; they're clean and easy to use without utensils). I've found that putting peanut butter on granola bars (like the Nature Valley classic crunchy ones) is amazing; when combined you're looking at ~400cal. That's a rather high energy density and a diverse set of nutrients that's really enjoyable and easy to carry and consume.
Breakfast; oatmeal with added protein supplements, breakfast drink mix (Carnation instant), and two cups of coffee or tea. Lunch; peanut butter, pepperoni/salami, cheese raps, electrolyte drink mix. Dinner; ramen bomb with added meat and some EVOO mixed in. Snacks; trail mix, dried fruit, anything gummy, Snickers (even if it melts your can squeeze the goo into your face hole), jerky or meat sticks, peanut M&M’s, Cliff bars yes Cliff bars choke it down and love it. Electrolyte supplements are good any time of day and multiple times a day. Rice sides are fast, cheap, and have a bunch of calories; bump up the nutrition with some olive oil and a tuna or chicken pack. Powdered milk is a good addition to bring as well. What I call “meat popsicles” aka Spam Singles can keep you going if you can stomach spam. Many options out there; pick a few up at the grocery store when you’re shopping and try them at home first.
A Ziploc bag of protein powder and some propel electrolyte packets are a great option! Be it for a day hike or several day backpacking trip, lightweight, easy to make and lots of flavor options.
Kind bars FTW! I also bring some lightly salted peanuts or almonds. Dried fruit is nice but as you mentioned it's not long term energy. I also get turkey jerky from Costco.
Google "stretch and flex" Im a union construction worker and we do this every day on the jobsite. Personally it helps and I think if we can do this in work boots and pants on a jobsite then doing so on trail would be just as easy.
I like to take individually wrapped Pain Au Chocolat as a snack I can eat while walking. Tasty, lightweight and calorific, they keep the hunger pangs away and can stay fresh in your pack for weeks if needed. You may have something equivalent in the States.
While I agree with trail mix I find majority of already mixed stuff either is to much of something or lacking in another or frankly Im bored with it. My store has bulk bins. Seriously a ton of options for trail mix. Mix in the nuts you want from salted to honey to plain. Add in fruit or no fruit. Like raisins or cherries your choice. Need sweet. Oh boy from chocolate chips to butterscotch to m&m's to well you get the idea.
4:15 Protein is the nutrient that we need in largest quantity, every day, especially when exercising. So, yes, but you kind of buried that truth. It should be right up front, and repeated, because every thing else you eat is less important. Most of the foods you mention are just empty calories. Come on, Eric... you can do better than that!
@@GTFBITK yeah that is exactly how they recognize that humans equal food and tear into gear looking for food. Doing at your home is one thing. Simply don't do it on the trail. I hand feed squirrels in my backyard, I simply observe them in the woods.

Polish "kabanosy " is perfect for trail, this is like small dry kielbasa , not joke, you have to try it

Blue Diamond Wasabi Almonds are amazing!

I love your vídeo! 💪
Going on my first overnight this weekend! Definitely gonna need snacks
Parmigiano is my go to snack
Make my own beef jerky! Salty, high protein.
As an avid outdoor rock climber, dried mango and cashews are the best crag snacks in between meals bar none
Eric, my favorite information a day hike is a sandwich and string cheese

I switched snickers for payday. They don't melt and have an excellent dose of peanuts and caramel.

Do you have any advice for posture and back support on the trail?

Well I had to go out and buy peanut butter m&m's and they are amazing. 😁
Maybe a silly question but how do you know what cheese is able to stay good even unrefrigerated? Thanks
Hard cheeses tent to be best (eg parmasean)
laughing cow and little baby bells hold up pretty good in the backpack and in the resupply box.
Individually wrapped mozzarella also holds up well for a while, though it is a lot of packaging.
Hey Eric, can we get links for the books please?
Check out Outdoor Eats on RUclips!
Cheese works for a day hike.
When's the review of MR's ultra light bag?
What about different Nuts..?
How about some Foraging… there’s bound to be plenty to eat along the trail.
Bacon, Country Ham and bacon. Cook it before you hit the trail. It will last a few days.
What breed is your fiances dog bc im gonna need that resource😅 Glad he led you out safe!!
If i only wasn't diabetic ... i would hike with Twinkies!
This is weird, it's like albums coming out after the artist died.

Wish there was advice for diabetics
Didn't this dude make his own channel?

Russians are also subscribed to you, keep in mind.
I love having loose nuts in my snacks. Sometimes if you see a chipmunk you can throw them a peanut.
Not a good idea
Don't intentionally feed the wildlife.
@Jcs1aughter I will keep doing it.

@@Jcs1aughter I love it when people tell me what to do.
