Hey Everyone,
I am leaving for my thru-hike is 2 weeks. I am interested in people’s hiking menues, things that they created or learned on the trail even. I’d mainly like to know ideas that don’t require drop shipments as I will be resupplying along the way.
Some great ideas I have recently learned:
Spicy Thai Pasta - boil up some spagetti, add penut butter, water, and some curry powder. and wah lah.
Tuna Mac & Cheese - simply add tuna to your M&C
Post your unique meals!

A good lunch that always gave me plenty of energy was peanut butter, honey and M&Ms wrapped in a tortilla.

Get those bags of pepperoni in the store. They give you a little grease and also spice up a lipton fairly well.
Whats up Macgyver? Heading out in June huh? Good luck Bud.

ramen alfredo with chicken or tuna (add package of alfredo mix, oil and powdered milk)

Lipton Creamy Chicken Noodles and sweet sue chicken. On those cold nights it was a giant bowl of chicken noodle soup. Add some cheese for extra tastieness.

Ramen Spaghetti…Ramen noodles with Boboli pizza sauce. The pizza sauce is vacuum packed. I add a diced slim-Jim
to the sauce. I also use the flavor packet from the Ramen to make a cup of soup while my spaghetti cools.

banana chips on a pb sandwich. dehydrated chillis and soups (find at health food stores) in your mac and cheese. and of course fresh cheese and garlic.

Definitely have a block of cheese during cooler months. It’s heavy, but you can add it to anything. And, with anything else, the more of it you eat the lighter the load.
What’s been going on Virginian- yeah, it the CT for me this July- probably. Only takes 6 weeks… you should come out.

A lot of people - here and on journals I’ve been reading -keep mentioning bagged chicken as being a component to their recipes. Is this product easy to pick up along the AT? I haven’t seen it anywhere on the west coast, and I’d like to do the trail without any mail drops (I feel it’d be impossible for me to know what I’m really going to want and what’ll satisfy me the most say 1000 miles into it).
Whoa
Look in the same area as the canned tuna in your supermarket. The chicken comes in foil pouches similar to
the soft packaged tuna. It’s pricey though. About 4 bucks
a pouch…As far as along the AT, i’m guessing it’s fairly
easy to find but i’m not sure.
