Favorite Trail Meal?

[gpburdelljr]

Fresh caught trout cooked on a flat rock next to the coals of a fire.

On first night out of town carry a sweet potato wrapped in foil. Cook in fire coals and top w/ taco bell hot sauce Lip smackin' good...

For ease of preparation and very filling? A pouch of Idahoan mashed potatoes (any kind) with dehydrated chicken and dehydrated green beans. I open the pouch, throw in the dehydrated stuff, add some seasonings, and seal it up in my Foodsaver. Pour boiling water right in the package (a little more than it calls for), set in cozy and it's good to go.

Better yet, I've had some MREs that were pretty damn tasty at the end of the day as well. MRE Chicken & Noodles, Meatloaf, and Spaghetti cant be beat.

Mountain House Mexican Style Chicken and Chicken & Rice were pretty good. Want to know what was not so good? Their Scrambled Eggs & Bacon. No, no, no.

There was another trail staple Ed Garvy described, but I can't remember what it was.

[Hikes in Rain]

Appalachian Trail Mix: two cups of brown rice, one cup of barley,and one cup of lentils. Good filling nutritious stuff, bur takes an hour to cook!

[Sacchoromyces]

Breakies: oats (not instant but quick cook/rolled) and GOOD peanut butter mixed together,

Supper: noodles/cheese/dried beef or jerky - cook the beef/erky in the noodles, add cheese(s) and allow to mellow,

On trail (snacks or lunch): salami or pancetta with grapes, apple, and olives.

Ramen Noodles-
Creamy Chicken with dried mushrooms, green onions, red pepper flakes or chili's and oregano, some Dill if I have it.

Seriously- my wife won't let me eat it at home and it has turned into my trail treat.

[RED-DOG]

if you want a quick snack try "Moose Goo" easily made and easy to pack and it will last for days, it makes an awesome snack.

What I call 'Thanksgiving' - packet of chicken, powdered potatoes, and stovetop stuffing. Mix the potatoes in a cup, mix the chicken into the stuffing.

Have you ever tried mixing all ingredients in ziplock then adding hot water? Not add chicken till end?

All of my hikes so far have been overnights, so there is nothing better then a med rare steak, baked potato, and red wine. I may need to rethink this when I start my section hikes in a few years.

i carried a steak, potato, and a six pack of beer up the trail in Montana on day one of a hike. Beer went into a mountain stream to chill while steak and potato cooked on a campfire.
God! That was good!

Best one-pot meal: sausage, eggs, and cheese
Cures the hunger problem for a long time and provides slow-burn fuel without insulin spike/crash

Pack-it gourmet, Dotties chicken and dumplings or mountain house biscuits and gravy.

[Connie]

I like the angelhair noodles and peanut powder recipe.

I also like indian cuisine chole (spiced chickpeas) in a burrito wrap.

I think I will really like trying the suggestions, here.

I love chicken and dumplings. I love biscuits and gravy.

Put in a few Craisens for that cranberry sauce effect!

You use 2 separate cups or zip locks bags? Wondered if I would taste ok to pre mix stuffing, potatoes and gravy into one container or bag then add chicken after called for amount of water.

Moose goo recipe recipe please.
Tell me more about cooking fish or steak on a rock in the coals, maybe a piece of Al foil to reduce sticking?
Has anyone ever done a cost analysis about home dehydrated meals?
Thanks

[Bird Dawg]

Simple and easy favorite....Knorr's Red Beans and Rice with sliced Slim Jims or summer sausage mixed in.

[Mtsman]

Not trying to sound glib but basically, not what I ate yesterday. What ever I felt like eating yesterday will get old if I eat it 2 or 3 times in a row. I can live on it, but what ever it is will fall lower on the list very quickly. I used to really like Nutella for lunch, made the mistake of only taking that for a weeks worth of lunches. I don't eat it at all now. I'm sure eventually it will become appetizing again but . . . . .
