- Hey everyone! This week I wanted to run through the whys and hows of cooking backpacking meals using a freezer bag. Sick of cleaning a messy pot at the end of a long hike? - then this one's for you!
Note: I want to make it extra clear here that you need to use a FREEZER BAG in order for this to work, and not just any old ziploc style bag.
Enjoy!

More recipes please Tim!
Working on it! Would like to do a whole series on meals at some point. Right now my trail diet is pretty bland, though.
i use an empty mountain house pouch to reheat all my freeze dryer feel. makes me feel better than eating out of the plastic bag
I’m getting hungry just watching this.
Great alternative to packing out mountain house or peak all the time.
So glad you enjoyed it!
True about rehydrating dehydrated cooked pasta. You're better off rehydrating dehydrated marinara sauce and ground beef. Cook your pasta fresh. 7 minutes.
Excellent, very informative!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Missed this one when you first posted. Great overview. If you don’t want to carry the bag cozy, I had good results with a pot cozy, then putting the freezer bag in the pot to soak. Fold the top of the bag over the lip of the pot. Very satisfying to finish the meal, then pull the bag “liner” out of the clean pot!
For ramen and other pokey foods, I got some cook-in bags from packit gourmet that are thicker plastic.
Looking forward to trying your recipe!
You actually just blew my mind. How on earth is this the first time I'm hearing about this?
Thanks for the tip!
Thank You great video
I’ve been thinking a lot about what I plan to eat on my first thru hike AT next year . I eat mainly fruits and veggies and I’ll definitely be adding this . New subscriber
So glad you enjoyed the video!
Great vid. I used this method for 4 days hiking the Cleveland Way in the UK last year. Saved so much room in my pack and saved time cooking, and had the pro’s you mentioned. But I personally didn’t take to it. Definitely a great idea and lots of people will take to it. Though I might give it another go after watching this 😁.
Thanks for the comment! Yeah it's not something that I do on every single trip, but it's a good skill to know.
Thanks Tim
Thank YOU, Cameron! Glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you watching.
Love it - I gotta try this... WAY cheaper than Peaks or MH!
Give it a shot! Gotta admit though, those Peak meals are actually very tasty haha
@@timbschwartz they sure are!
Really well done video, thank you. Good food is one of the key luxuries for me while backpacking and this presentation gives one more solid tool for the toolbox. Side question: I’m in the PNW as well (SW WA) and we don’t have bugs here yet; was this filmed recently?
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kinds words. Yeah, I filmed it last week. I'm up in NW WA and I was essentially on the coast in this video, so it may have something to do with the added moisture. Just a guess on my part, though.
Could you cold soak the rice while hiking, drain the rice water, and add the rice to the other ingredients before adding hot water?
Thanks for the comment! I suppose you could!
I hungry!
Thanks for the comment, Pat!
212° is not hot enough to cause trouble with freezer bags.
Hi,
What type of rice are you using?
Hi! Minute Rice
Has anyone used Mylar bags instead of Zip lock freezer bags? I don't like the idea of keeping hot food in the baggies with potential leaking.
Hi! I haven't but it sounds worth testing out - I believe that's what normal freeze dried meals are packaged in. Depending on the length of your trip, you could try silicone as well.
Mmmmm….
So tasty!
Boiling water and plastic.. not sure that’s a healthy idea
This would have been a cooler video if he didn't talk so much and just got to the point,
Thanks for the feedback, Mike!
@@timbschwartz you are welcome, i apologize if it seemed rude of me to say, i enjoyed the video! 👍
@@mikesvacation Not at all man! The comments help me get better so I always appreciate them. Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great week.
