Dude, three words: JUSTIN’S ALMOND BUTTER
It's really great the food industry offers a wide selection of foods. Snickers now sells a bar with a brownie inside the bar. Also reeses sells a cup with pretzel inside.
Bagels - YES! They have been my go-to lunch for over 40 years! Chicken spread or a slice of Spam, or pepperoni are worthy filling, too. In town I buy one for each lunch, slice them, mash them flat, and bag them in a Ziploc, pressing out the air. Great midday calories! I eat nuts instead of candy during the day because I'm a type 2 diabetic (but I have been known to sneak in some dark chocolate M&Ms 🙄).
You killed the miles last year. Looking forward to your 2021 hike 👍
What a nice view from your kitchen table!
I can feel your excitement!!! You seem so upbeat this morning, I dig the positive vibes. So ready to live vicariously through you until I can start the PCT in 2022. Another great video!
I'll be trying some of these out on my next section hike of the Monadnock Sunapee Greenway next week.
We like Welches fruit snacks and dried mango like you with gushers. Never fails to lift our spirits and give a good quick energy boost!
This is very exciting! 🤩👏🏻M and Ms are a must I agree!!
Love the food bag! So cute!
Nice to see you are using the Jetboil stove. Most hikers understandably use the MSR pocket rocket but really the jetboil has everything you need included with it except the fuel. Its my stove choice too!!
Love the food bag. Excited for you to get back out there again. I'm like you that I like to get out quickly in the morning without wasting time on food prep. I have found on cold mornings those chocolate breakfast essentials work really well to heat up some water and drink them like hot chocolate and it only takes a couple of minutes!!!
Please do make a resupply video it would certainly help out :)
Love the food bag Taylor. Looks like you have your meals and snacks dialed in good I am so excited for your hike.
Gooood morning from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day!
🌞 good morning from Saint Augustine 😎 feels like a beautiful spring day
Good mornin from Avon Park,FL...... 😝👍
Im in chilly rhode island 😫
@@ononewheel7 Brrrrrrr!❄️❄️❄️
@@leedanielson7452 low 30s today!
Just a thought to the extent useful- I'd suggest sticking the belt pouch in your foodbag at the end of the day or keeping a plastic bag in it as a liner. I've hiked with people on 2 different occasions that had mice eat into their snack pouch on their backpacks at night. (One left food it, the other just had residual odor in it).
Beneficial, interesting, helpful and as always delightful. Thank you for helping us.
Oh I am so excited to see you conquer the trail I was watching last year I can't wait to see you conquer this!!!!
I dehydrate and make my own meals to take with. I put good quality breakfast cereal with powdered milk is zip bags, just add water.
Good luck on your upcoming hike, and will look forward to your journey. I live 55 miles from Amicalola and have been going up to the Approach Trail to prepare for my own thur-hike in '22. Love the place!
In the mornings when everyone is pulling their food bag down off of the bear proof food cables, or digging food bags out of a bear box, there will be no doubt whose bag that is! Sweet!
Or when taking them down from the nail in the shelter.
So excited for your AT adventure to start. We might have to binge watch your 2019 Trek to blend into this years. :-) Don't forget your micro spikes. BEST OF LUCK !!!
Okay, that did not look bad. Look forward to your hike. Thank you for sharing
Good luck with your hike!!! Im excited to follow virtually, your enthusiasm makes me so happy for you!
Can’t wait for you to start and your excitement is contagious! Great video and what a selection of snacks! 😋. What a terrific food bag! 🤩
Tokyo Joe's has Sriracha single serve packs if you need a change from Frank's. Complete cookies are kind of my go to for breakfast or when I don't want to cook.
Gosh now I’m starving!🤔 Taylor when your out on the AT how often do you think you will put out a video???😊👍🎉
At either end of your hike when weather is cooler, you'll be able to carry other cheeses that you would normally have to refrigerate. A log of brie on the trail is amazing.
Oh my gosh, the food bag is cool!
Taylor, I’ve watched you from the beginning and I have enjoyed the evolution of the “on camera” you, as well as you camera and editing skills! Looking forward to your AT through hike!
From this day forth you shall be known as the Queen of Snacks 😂👸🍫
Thanks Taylor! always fun to see what other hikers are eating on the trail!
I love your enthusiasm, I'm looking forward to some serious hiking beginning this spring; new backpack, trailrunners and added experience from last year.
Lenny and Larry's cookies are my breakfast. Some almond butter on it. Cant beat that. Thanks for sharing
Best of luck on the AT! Jetboil Stoves has an office in Manchester, Nahamsha (I’m not sure if they originated here or not). Glad to see you representing our little state well :)
So excited for your AT journey!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
super excited to follow you on the upcoming AT hike, id like to hike it in 2023. i feel your excitement! hope you have tons of fun! nice food choices btw gonna get some green belly meals, they look super convenient
My thruhike was in 98. I tried resupply by post office. The issue I had as did others was PO was not always open. In other words you had to adjust your hike at times to make it work. I went to the PO this week to mail a small package- less than 6 oz. for 200 miles. The lowest rate was about 8 dollars. Had that been food enough for a resupply it would have been 20.00 at least.. The PO in the trail towns were great Also outfitters, hostels and motels were great for holding items.. I found shipping to places other than the PO is usually the better choice because they are open most of the time. Good luck!
I have a tip for the breakfast essentials... if you add peanut butter powder and whole milk powder to it, you can beef up the calories and macronutrients. The peanut butter powder makes it really tasty too!
Excited to follow your journey this year! I bought gushers yesterday because of you 🤣
Yummm!!
I have never actually seen someone show a ramen bomb! I love that your food choices are more unique than the usual food videos. Nice mixture of healthy and candy, etc. I am hoping this year's AT season is drama free and we get to see you summit on Mt K.!
PB in squeeze pouch!!!!!YES. Cheese plz🧀
Loved your video , as I always do!! Am so excited for your adventure to begin!!!! 💗
Has it been a year already!? I’ve been watching since you were prepping for 2020.
Can’t wait for the video’s!!
🇦🇺🇦🇺
You’re gonna kick butt out there Taylor!
Looking forward to following along on AT 2.0 . You will rock it even better than you did on the 1st attempt.
M@M's, the universal hiking snack! Yummy Very informative. Can't wait until you hit the AT. Happy hiking and god bless
Hey Taylor.. Well now I'm hungry, lol... I've been thinking about these food bags.. Because of a knee injury, I sold 90% of my hiking gear, because I thought hiking was over for me 😔. However, a year later things are looking up! Yah that JetBoil ignition is wonky when cold!..
Well good for you, I've always wanted to hike the AT, will follow the Vlogs. God Bless...
I'm addicted to cliff blocks haha. If you like bacon check out the singles they sell at the rest area 0n 93 their amazing. Good luck on your hike and stay safe!
Thank you for great food tips followed your hike last year and will again this year. Good luck following from Winnipeg
Love the food bag. I prefer the Quest cookies over the bars.
Wait, you put a photo of Cali on the bag ... boyfriend will be jealous.
Hello my friend, I look forward to seeing you on the trail. Take Care.
go to your local gas station, checkout the "jack link's selections' of jerky meats. beef, bison, venison, chicken, salmon. go good as addition to the ramen soup packs. been toying with reducing the weight on those mac & cheese cups. have found the amount of water is 1/2 cup. another company makes powdered egg. like 2 tblsp = 1 egg. i general use this for when i am cooking for myself an arecipe for 4 calls for 2 eggs. so i can add 1/2 or 1/4 of a egg to the reduce size reciepe.
For Breakfast you could have a bag of a dozen or so pre-rolled tortilla filled with peanut butter, chewy quick oats, honey, shredded coconut, cocoa niblets, dates, maple syrup, apricots, seeds, etc. Have you tried something like this yet?
Great videos Good luck on the true hike. Mini Cliff bars??
Now I have to try a Ramen Bomb...
That was awesome. Gave me some great ideas. I am so excited to watch your epic journey. I love the bagel squeeze peanut butter lunch. I can use that as well. Hope to be able to be a trail angel for you👍. Any questions related you your game plan should we ask on your AT site? Awesome Taylor. Thank you
New subby can’t wait for your hike and happy to be able to watch your journey.
I like everything you mentioned, except the bagels. Too bulky to carry, and too dry to eat -- especially with peanut butter on them. The last time I brought them on a trip I found myself literally having to choke down the bread/PB combo. I prefer tortillas. I also use a Jetboil, which isn't too heavy and basically allows you to pack everything inside the pot, including the fuel canister. For lunches, I have run across a meal replacement bar called Protein Puck, which is really pretty tasty and packs a ton of calories and protein.
Great video, I actually got a couple of new tips. Thank you, good luck on the A.T and keep on trecken.
That was an Awesome video. Looking forward to following you on your hike as well.
I like the Honey Stinger waffles too. But you have to be careful of the crumbs. When you carry them on the trail they tend to crumble a little inside the package and the crumbs can get everywhere when you open them.
Honey Stingers, lightweight with decent calories. Definitely have to put towel or flip gas can inside your cook cup, got to hate the rust from the gas can.
Frozen bean and cheese burritos are my new favorite go-to lunch and if you're feeling lucky, Mcdonalds Mcdouble will last a few days.
Sweet! I'll share this on Hilltop Packs company FB page
Hilltop Packs are awesome !
Don't say yuk to this before you try it, peanut butter in Ramen noodles is delicious. This is a popular combo I learned while traveling Asia. Adding hot sauce to it is also good.
Exactly, peanuts and noodles 👍🏼😋
Gushers are my fav on the trail!!
Stroop waffles > honey stingers
Literally the exact same thing nutritionally stroop waffles are just cheaper made the switch a while back 👌
♥️ you’re custom bag 🙂
Nuun!! Nuun-time is the best time on trail!
Nice Food Bag☺️👍❤️
Very cool food bag - I like it!
Great food ideas!
Another great video! Thanks again you are such a natural!!! Are you bringing your dog along on the AT? I am starting this fall with my Standard Poodle Mako and practicing some sections close to me. I live close to Hot springs, NC😊
Jesus! You’re really starting early! I’ve hiked for many years in that area (and have done the AT twice) ...look out for the ice and snow that you’re gonna hit!!!Hope you’re planning on carrying winter gear and micro spikes.
And good luck w resupply hitches while Covid is raging....(and all the frozen water)
Excited for your hike, Taylor. Good luck! Quick question...how do you handle packing out your trash?
Nice food bag!
I could never be a thru hiker because I just can't stand the thought of eating a Ramen-bomb. Hate instant mashed potatoes and not too fond of Ramen, either. I like the Oriental brands of Kimchi flavored Ramen. If I ever attempt a thru hike I'm thinking after hiker hunger hits I would probably eat just about anything. Only time I would even try it and I'd probably ask someone if I could taste theirs first. You like hot sauce, you should try the kimchi noodles. Look in the Oriental food section for the best ones (other companies make it but it's not as good). That with the potatoes would probably be better tasting.
You must be doing resupply boxes, with all that food.
That a lots of good foods
If you keep a paper towel in bottom of your pot you won't get a rust ring from the fuel canister .
Rust is iron oxide. That might be a good supplement for red blood cells.
Is it true that some of the trail requires a hard canister to hold food? If so, what will u be using? Thanks! I’m starting my thru hike on the AT on April 10th!! Best of luck to you!! 🙏🏻💜
haha! I was going to say!!! My favorite are M&M's and well...... We understand each other lol
February start?!?! Won't that be too cold? Is it that your New Hampshire hiking has prepared you for the cold?
Do you think these foods will be available at most resupply locations along the AT? Thanks 😊
I thought not but I think she is having her resupply sent to her so she can get these items.
@@djg5950 thanks 😊
franks red hot, best stuff on earth!
GUSHERSSSSS!
Ramen bomb is an all time invention! Also, trail name prediction: Frankie, bec hot sauce 8-]
Beef stroganoff mountain house tastey 😋
Love hot sauce a crushed hot pepper
Frank's Hot Sauce .....I put that *hit on everything....... come on Frank's..... sponsor this woman's AT hike !!!!
Ok Taylor I have a weird question but I must ask because it’s important to me. 😂 Do you not have issues with constipation since you just eat snacks and not many real meals?
How often do you eat the Greenbelly meals?
Wow so much food. Ramen bomb. One suggestion go to an Asian store/supermarket and get a real ramen. Lol
When you put in the mileage that Taylor is capable of, you need all the calories you can get.
@@LynnStAubin-od5qe I'm sure you are right about that. I only hike 1~5 so I never experience hiker hunger. Lol👍
@@SeniorHiker77 unfortunately for me, I’m always hungry. But like you, I usually don’t go more than 7 miles. They say you pack your fears. I’m not missing meals😁 But I don’t do all the candy and bars. My old metabolism can’t deal. Also a senior hiker.
@@LynnStAubin-od5qe 7 miles in 1 day is just fine. I hate getting to a campsite tried and worn out. I'm scheduled for a 30 miler (appx) over 4 days next month with 5 other youtubers for my 80th birthday on Cumberland Island Georgia. No hills to climb. lol
@@SeniorHiker77 that is awesome. I’m looking at trying a section hike on the AT for my 65th birthday. I can only hope I’m still doing 30/4 at 80. Have a wonderful time.
Are you worried about the weather, starting so early in the season?
Are you utilizing drop boxes throughout the trail or buying these recommended snaps at re-supply towns? Can you actually buy these snaps in most trail towns?
Why are yu excited ? I mean I'm excited to watch
Hope you get to finish this time.
Me too 😆
Great video. You seem to have plenty of protein and carbs in your menu, but do you have enough fat?
Are you going to pick up where you left off last year? Best of luck to you. Where can you get your stove fuel replenished? Thanks in advance.
She’s starting over from scratch....
I'd be more inclined to take the time to make (hydrate) a hot breakfast if I could hire some sort of elf to pack up my gear every morning.
