What fuels a hiker
We eat a lot. Like a lot, a lot. Like 5000 calories per day, a lot. This means as much of as many different kinds of food as possible.
For dinner, though, we usually eat hiker slop. It was great in the beginning. Now I can hardly stand the stuff.
Hiker slop
1 package Idahoans (doesn't matter what flavor)
1 or 2 packages ramen (doesn't matter what flavor)
Big handful of cheese (generally shredded)
A few tablespoons of olive oil
Packet of tuna
Mix it all in a gallon ziplock bag, add three cups boiling and chow down.
Hooray for calories!
Cheers,
Jonathan
