Peaty hiking/camping meals
-
Classic hiking foods like freeze dried meals are zogged to oblivion and pasta is full of gluten obv.
I base a couple of my meals around instant mashed potatoes and powdered milk is good to take (even though it’s difficult to find a brand that isn’t shit). I also bring a pot of honey and dates for breakfast and snacking, but I’m wondering what you guys bring with you. I need some more bioenergetic, relatively light-weight food ideas

@uh make some pemmican
-
@Brandon that’s a great idea, thank you. I’ll do that next trip when I have more time
-
@uh marshmallows would probably be easy to pack.

Lots of dried fruits for snacking for sure, there are some decent meat products jerky adjacent that are pretty clean, biltong being one. that's also more of a snack than a meal. Gelatin powder bloomed in water though not very yummy is very protein dense and is light weight. Could add in some honey or sugar though to make it a bit tastier.
May be worth getting your own freeze drier and making some dishes before hand to then freeze dry and take with you.

@uh in the US there is the meyenberg brand powdered goat milk that's quite prevalent
-
Pemmican
-
Chocolate fudge as a snack
And similar to the other guy I do powdered mash
-
Not exactly a meal but honey can be useful to the active outdoors person for a few reasons:
Emergency calories, burns slower than sugar and has some nutritional content. Antibacterial, wound and burn dressing. Allergies, helps with sore throats. Trauma therapy, a spoonful for anyone who may have been badly wounded.
And since it is a natural preservative it remains edible for a long time. Good to have in your bug out bag for all of the reasons listed.

When I go wild camping I usually take powdered milk, dried fruit, dehydrated potato slices, oats, honey, instant coffee and salt.
A block of creamed coconut is also pretty good, very filling and satisfying to add to a cooked meal after a day hiking.
