  • Hello everyone!
    I just wanted to point out that while this was my typical vegan food set-up for MOST of the trail (especially the end, OR/WA) it does not represent exactly what I ate on trail such as town grocery store add-ons, town restaurant food, trail angel meals, etc. This set-up was, however, my ideal/fave resupply foods to eat while on trail. They're all vegan, mostly organic, and actually mostly gluten-free (I'm not gluten-free, but it's a bonus).
    Below is a list of all the foods mentioned in the video along with their Amazon links. All are vegan and most are organic. NOTE: If you purchase any of the products by clicking on the specific links I've provided I get a little bit of money to help grow my channel, so MUCHAS GRACIAS advance! :)
    Instant Oatmeal ( amzn.to/2ABvEiH )
    Awesome Bagels ( www.daveskiller... )
    Best PB Ever ( amzn.to/2AADqch )
    Green Superfood ( amzn.to/2C197YO )

    Olive Oil ( amzn.to/2z8RhV9 )
    Avocado Chips ( amzn.to/2z9FAO3 )
    Powerful supplement stuff I recommend that I had in my boxes on and off thru-out the trail:

    Thanks for the tips Dirty Avocado! I met you in 2017 down in the Big Bear area. I was the sobo guy giving out trail magic on the way like chips, candies and via coffee (you were one of the rare people who didn’t take anything though). (I only remember this looking back on my notes from each hiker...but I remembered your unique trail name.) I went vegan this year and am heading out on another section hike so I appreciate the tips! -GoalTech

    I now feel more confident about being vegan on a trail! It honestly surprises me how bad people eat on a long distance hiking trail! In every hiking video you see burgers and those instant beef meals. Which always made me wondering if getting vegetables or fruits would even be possible. No hiking I've found so far have explained resupplying like you do. So thank you! On my first long distance hike I took al those raw crackers (made from vegetables and flax seeds) with me to have enough nutrients, but the weight of the pack (combined with bad shoes) just did too bad for my body and after about 100 miles I already had to let go of most of the food I had with me. I think that when you are doing your first long distance hike you have to invent the wheel yourself ;p which means that it will be inevitable to make mistakes. No matter how informed you are :) Which is also beautiful because it's part of the process:)

    I am so happy to see this! I’ve only recently gotten into the idea of hiking the PCT (or AT), and was wondering how difficult it would be to do as a vegan. Glad to see you’ve done it and it wasn’t a huge deal. Thanks!

    Pro Tip: For single use drink mixes, water additives, etc. Buy the large, economy size pre-hike and portion it out into single servings. To package, use small piece of plastic wrap, dole out mix in center and fold up all open edges. Next, with small strips of aluminum foil, fold over each open edge with foil on each side. Use a medium hot iron and apply to each foiled edge. Let cool a few seconds and remove foil carefully to reuse it for each packet you make. The heat-sealed edge provides a pack-ready, single serving with minimum weight and easy to pack out waste. Save money and ease waste.

      ​@@MatanuskaHIGH Ask an Indigenous Eskimo if they appreciate the idea of someone granted the privilege of internet access, normalizing survival strategies as a poor appeal to culture fallacy that will never debunk the philosophy of said vegan lifestyle. The way an Eskimo lives (usually not by choice, but geography / survival) will never begin to justify suffering intentionally inflicted on other beings (human and non-human animals alike) and has nothing to do with you (not) taking personal responsibility for making better (less harmful) decisions. Vegan"ism" is true winfinity. It was here before us and will be here after Morality is not relative. Bodily autonomy matters. Not your body, not your life, not your choice. Live and let live . . . Meaning, the animals! Stop using lifestyles of others as an excuse to fund the torture and slaughter of innocent beings held captive! It's super disrespectful. nationearth.com / cowspiracy.com/facts / yourveganfallacyis.com/en | theveganeskimo.com/index.php/about | If you can grow weed, you can grow etc. You get the idea.

    I loved those Repunzel bullion cubes. I had them with my instant mashed potatoes. I would heat up some water with half a cube and some dehydrated spinach and kale flakes. Then when it was boiling, I just added a bunch of potato buds. It was quick so I mostly ate them at lunch. I ate a lot of brown minute rice with ad hoc sauces I made up. I always had a little 4 oz. bottle of sriracha sauce.

  • @ADoubleen
    @ADoubleen 6 ปีที่แล้ว +35

    I’m a little disappointed that this featured so much packaged food that is on the more expensive side. I can think of lots of vegan backpacking meals easily made inexpensively and more accessibly. It’s cool that this is what you ate, I just couldn’t imagine having the budget to do this.

    • @DavidGravesExists
      @DavidGravesExists 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Was just about to write the same thing. I'm guessing her daily food hiking budget was *well* over $25. My daily food (also vegan) when I did this hike was ~$6-$8.

    • @Surfergirlmeetsmountains
      @Surfergirlmeetsmountains 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      investing in a vacuum sealer is a good choice - buying in bulk (like dried foods, rice, oatmeal) and packaging individually yourself helps customize and save on cost. nutrichef has one on Amazon for $60 and extra FoodVacBags because im not sure it comes with bags...(2pack for $20)

    • @Surfergirlmeetsmountains
      @Surfergirlmeetsmountains 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I add chia seeds, brownsugar to oatmeal, also some dried meat with rice and dried chicken stock to help flavor the stock starches your packing.

    • @CoteziHikes
      @CoteziHikes  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah the video was just about showing you guys what food I ate and how I obtained the food (which was mostly mail-drops). I think I mentioned buying in bulk but definitely did not dive deep into it. Working on a video right now breaking down the actual cost of buying bulk food in advance and mailing as opposed to just buying most of your food as you go on trail.

  • @nikoRreTTe
    @nikoRreTTe 6 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    For bulk vegan choices I purchase from znaturals.com Really fast with shipping. High quality items and bulk brings the cost down. Just need to repackage into smaller packages. Especially in areas where water is readily available I would offset that weight by carrying fresh food and veggies good for a few days. Appreciate the thought here put into nutrient dense foods and not just junk food (candy and mainstream chips and cookies) that I've seen with other vegan suggestions. It is a challenge on the trail as the best vegan choices are fresh foods but this is well thought out vegan trail food. I do like to support organic companies. Thank you! On the TA there were few vegan choices and very little organics especially in the little towns and pit stops. There's always something though and its nice to have the variety with town food. It also could have changed since then.

  • @theherbivorehiker
    @theherbivorehiker 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Was curious if you could comment on how you dealt with encountering trail magic and trail angels offering non-vegan foods? Did you meet any animosity about not wanting their food? I'm not sure why this concerns me, but I worry about this for my own thru-hikes. Thanks and great video!

    • @CoteziHikes
      @CoteziHikes  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      No animosity. There was always a vegan option. For the most part, trail magic usually consisted of drinks (soda, beer, water) and fruit. Trail angels were also very accommodating and generous :)

  • @aurtisanminer2827

    • @CoteziHikes
      @CoteziHikes  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Omg YES that would be amazing. Recently I have found Lupini beans! Especially the Brami Snacks brand (they sell it at Whole Foods) which is sooooooo addicting actually and have been packing it out almost every time on day hikes. Love it! Cheers!

    • @aurtisanminer2827

      @aurtisanminer2827 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I recently found some dry roasted wasabi edamame made by ‘seapoint farms’. The bag is 3.5 ounces and has 455 calories in it, mostly from protein. Probably the best type I’ve found for hiking and they taste good.

    Great video! I was so excited to see the veggie broth cubes. I googled them and they contain yeast extract which is basically MSG but not as much. Migraine sufferers would want to stay away. Again, great video!

    • @CoteziHikes
      @CoteziHikes  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks! :)
      I never experienced any bad side effects from the veggie broth cubes compared to when I eat regular ramen (the vegan kind). Yeast extract is not MSG. Yeast extract contains naturally occurring glutamates while MSG is a highly concentrated, synthetically produced, ultra-potent version of glutamic acid. Plus, most of the ingredients on the cubes are organic so I like that! :)

    Ive shopped whole foods/rei, your daily food really is pricey, like $30+ a day, wowsa! That ramen has the worst flavor packet, not surprised you put the cube. Curious what brand of potato flakes. I did not know Mary Janes Farm made vegan backpacking meals. The meal packets should be at least 600 calories in my opinion. I love hearing vegans not getting sick. Thats me too, when I started eating vegan, no more colds.

    @deucefiji4989 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not to come off rude or anything but you chose a lot of junk food and processed foods you should definitely start pack more fresh fruits and vegetables, ik you want the conveniency but for over all aspect of a healthy meal or snack, also just cause something is grown organic don’t necessarily mean it’s more nutritional but that’s something else, but eating more of the raw foods will give you energy just because those food still contain there natural enzymes that actually help your body absorb the nutritious you want to cut down more on the processed food.... but that was my personal preference

    • @airicaxoxo
      @airicaxoxo 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      To be able to get enough nutrients and energy from the vegetables and fruits you would need to pack A LOT, and it doesnt fill you up. Plus, it takes up a lot of space...she most likely went into town and bought some produce. Hike your own hike :)

    what was your resupply strategy ? did you send all your boxes before the trail or along it ? how did you know where to send them ? I am in France and I got very few datas about that. thanks for all you share.

    • @CoteziHikes
      @CoteziHikes  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I sent the desert ones ahead of time then started sending as I went after that (with family and friend's help). I also bought food along the trail to supplement so it wasn't all boxes.
      There's a website with the entire list of resupply locations along the trail.

      Saw you posted this question awhile ago but here’s what I purchased when I went vegan:
      Enlightened equipment has a synthetic quilt that works amazing. Mine is rated at 20 degrees and really keeps me very warm.
      Also, I traded in my wool base layers for synthetic ones at Rei. Top it off with a synthetic puffy and I stay very warm and everything is lightweight and animal free.

    Great video, Cotezi! I definitely want to try the ProBar gummies. I think I've had the rice ramen before and want to find a bulk source! Their bulk price on Amazon.ca is crazy ($267). I buy Nongshim ramen in bulk for about $1/pack and it's also vegan. This is making me think what I'd put in a vegan food video!

      Decent Diversions oh isn't that ironic haha I live just outside Toronto in Mississauga... where did you get it in toronto? I always just bought a 12 pack box on amazon when I am in the states.. which is pretty often. Buttttt luckily last time I went to walmart, by some miracle, they suddenly stocked 4 packs of it🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

  • @RetroLPGames
    @RetroLPGames 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for sharing! I'm currently vegetarian + allergic to eggs and nuts. I think vegan and nut-free might be a bit heard, especially on trail. However, I will try to stay vegetarian. My question is: How much more (compared to other hikers) did you spend on your food? Here in Germany special vegan/vegetarian food is often highly overpriced :/

    Hey!! Amazing video:) I'm checking out the amazing grass sachets, but I saw a few flavors are not vegan due to the animal derived vitamin D3.
    Do you know which flavors are vegan??
    (I live in Europe so it is also possible the ingredients are different here)

  • @backcountryemily

    I eat that Rice Ramen at home! I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but found this to be super insightful - I'm slightly concerned with getting the appropriate nutrients on trail. Did you ever find drink mixes similar to the green superfood ones in stores along the trail?

    • @CoteziHikes
      @CoteziHikes  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! Rice Ramen is money, vegan, veg, GF, or not! Yeah there were some store that had the amazing grass green superfood powders but very few in between. Usually healthy/bigger cities had them. Shasta and Ashland were two, for example, that had natural stores that had them. Not frequent enough though at all so definitely buy them in advance and include them in your resupply. Even if this is the ONLY thing being shipped to you (and no other food or anything which you can get at any store especially if you're not veg) !! It's worth it.

    • @backcountryemily
      @backcountryemily 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I may have to do that! Considering I'm probably going to eat like crap otherwise, it makes me feel better to at least get some servings of fruits & veggies! The antioxidant one looks good too. Thanks for the info!

    Great video, I have gone WFPB, and due to food addiction issues as soon as I eat foods I should not eat, I have a difficult time going back to healthy. So, I will be doing mail in resupplies. That restaurant in Idylwild sounds fantastic. If you ran into other restaurants that were vegan friendly, and what town you found them in, would be great to know. Thanks, really enjoyed watching your PCT videos.
