All too often, food for an adventure is an afterthought. There are those who believe that outdoor recreation, and its hunger pangs at the end of the day, lessens the mouth’s ability to savor flavor. It isn’t true. Food is energy. Reduced energy is a potential safety risk, as well as a lessening the enjoyment factor of an exciting outdoor exploration.
There is no reason to eat tasteless food in the backcountry. In this workshop we will discuss how easy it can be to package and portion mini feasts to load into a food sack and carry for the next adventure. Expect us to share a few notes on how to think about good nutrition, easy ways to package food at home, and where to purchase ingredients.
