Food Prep Book

[dwbpa1]

Is there a well known book(s) on food prep of a thru hike? I am interested in:
1. a prepare your own food book including dehydration
2. a book that outlines perhaps weekly healthy food menus
Or, is there a site that is helpful with the above items?
Thanks!

Lots of online sites.
Google knows the way.
You don’t need Thru Hike specific information. You need a week’s worth and repeat until finished.
Good luck.

Most successful long distance thru hikers purchase food as they go

Maildrops work ok on shorter hikes, maybe 4 wks. I dehydrate food for these
If have someone at home packing /shipping to you, maybe more

The difficulty is that you generally wont want what you are planned 6 months ago on a longer hike. Tastes change on trail.

Healthy?
Junk calories are healthier than no calories
You need more calories than you can get
And WAY more than you can get healthily unfortunately.

All you can eat buffets will be your #1 town priority. Endless salad bars will be your Health Food stores. Leaving town with a day’s worth of fresh fruit and veggies will be a major treat.
