I'm not stoveless, but I carry a lot of those same foods!
I like the 🐟 in the background 🙂
Thanks so much for your videos. So helpful! Im starting a PCT attempt in a couple of months and I’ve been making my meals based pretty much solely on your videos. I love the chia pudding! I’ll let you know how it all works out! Your videos are so great!
Thanks for letting me know! Send me a picture of you eating one of the meals I'll start a new segment each video showing someone eating one for the meals 😃
You made my standard breakfast! ( I usually add ginger powder, kurkuma, Cinnamon, ground flax and the nuts I have at home) great video once again.
Your additions make it the antioxidant supreme breakfast!
Maybe for the dinner , some mixed veggies and some Butler chikn seasoning.
Geez...my eye just caught my own comment to yours and what I tried to say while walking on voice to text did not come out the right way so I am deleting original comment. I meant to say something along the lines of...I don't do a lot of dried vegetables because with the other stuff I throw in I am not lacking the nutrients, and don't need any more fiber! But, I do dry my own vegetables over the summer and do often bring those until the run out. All I have left right now are beets and zucchini. One can only eat so many beet chips....
I make overnight oats with hemp hearts, chia seeds, walnuts, Laird Superfood Creamer, and steel cut oats for breakfast. For dinner it’s cous-cous, dehydrated hummus, Butlers Soy Curls (thanks to bringing them to my attention), sun dried tomatoes, and some olive oil ( also, some salt and a bit of hot sauce if it’s around).
Laird Creamer is a new one for me. Just looked it up, do you buy locally? A little expensive online.
Paul the Backpacker It is expensive, yes. Not something I would do for every meal all the time. However, I find a package lasts quite a long time. It has really nice sweetness to it and it has a lot of other things I might not ordinarily have at hand while out on trail. I would give it a shot at some point, if you are curious.
@@peterellis5724 recommend a place to get it? brand?
Paul the Backpacker I think I got mine at a local health food store called Sprouts. They are like Whole Foods Lite. They have a few locations on the west coast, but not sure how for east they go.
@@peterellis5724 I got mine at Costco
oooh brown gravy, good idea!
Dumping gravy in pretty much anything makes it better :-)
I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this channel! I’m vegan, and planning to do a 2 week section of GDMBR this summer. I’m always looking to save bike pack weight. I eat a lot of soy curls all the time, but usually cook them. How about minute rice, would that work?
I don't think rice just re-hydrates by cold soaking. The other thing, if you are going to go 500 miles+ you might as well eat something that has more than just empty calories. I have a video somewhere on my computer I have never published that you might find interesting....I am going to go and hit publish right after this comment so it will be the latest video. I have been fooling around with trying to get full nutrition in under 2 pounds and $7 per day. I figured out a Muesli recipe that comes pretty close. I got it to 26oz and 3600 calories, and not empty calories. I have eaten it hot, cold, and just as GORP in my hand all day long on a couple short trips experimenting. But with the rice, maybe where the rice comes in for you is just doing some kind of "rice balls" for the calories and carbs during the day. The other thing that might be interesting for you for light weight protein is bean curds. I have been experimenting with those. If you cook they are easy, if cold soaking only practical if you cold soak them over night and eat in the morning which then leads to a protein intake when you probably don't want it first thing in the mountains :) I have been putting them in my cold soak container with my over night oats and them picking them out and eating in the morning. Neat chewy texture, and when packing dry, very lightweight.
Love the videos Paul. What is the size of your cold soaking jar? I think you've mentioned this before, but I can't remember.
Just happen to have one next to my keyboard....36 oz peanut butter jar, the larger of the two sizes of peanut butter jars commonly found in stores. The one pint size (16oz) is way to small for me. On overnights I might bring the food already in the jar...put dinner in a 36 oz and a dessert in the 16 oz. to save on bags. And those aren't actually the "size" of the jars but the weight of the peanut butter in them. So you can get two jars the same size and the oz will be different numbers. Crunchy peanut butter weighs less, etc...
Great video. I'm looking forward to cold soaking this year. Where do you find the veg friendly gravy packets?
I just put a link to the gravy and some of the other ingredients in the description for the video. If you have a Whole Foods, health food store, Natural Market sort of thing near you you can usually get it a little bit cheaper than from Amazon. And you don't have to buy so many at one time! They are marked vegetarian, but they're also vegan.
@@PaultheBackpacker thank you!
Do you see this working for a thruhike? Like, purchasing all of this in a town, carrying it with you to slowly make the meals for the next few days? Assuming you only have one jar to use for mixing the meal at any given time. It seems to me like all of the packaging would just be too bulky. Perhaps I could transfer some of it into bags.
As of now, I was planning on just winging it, expecting to mainly eat Lara/Cliff bars . I am a strict vegan, so when I discovered this video it peaked my interest.
Maybe throw in some zip locks, and just keep repackaging as you go. And I am not sure about it working for a thru hike because of the lack of stores...you would need a legit supermarket so some of these would not be available. But when I retire...hopefully...and thru hike it I was thinking about putting in some of the key ingredients in a box and simply bounce it. Another one I would add would be nutritional yeast.
@@PaultheBackpacker Yes, I use "NOOCH" all the time. I love it.
Wow, I’m impressed. Thanks. Super thorough.
Out of that $42 worth, and I ate those same 3 meals you showed, how many days would that give me? 3, 3.5, 4?
I believe I could be a convert?!
That's funny, because after I made this video I thought to myself I need to do a video about how cheap it all is for multi-day trip. It's a bit of a tricky question to answer, because a couple things will run out after only a few meals. So for example you would have to replace the Goji berries after maybe two days worth of meals. The chia seeds would last for more than a week, actually a lot longer than that. So without having to replace anything, I would take a wild guess at about 3 days. But again you would have a lot left over still to work with. Actually the gravy, would only be good for a couple of meals before you have to get a new packet.
Paul the Backpacker Thanks! I realize that, but after looking it all over I bet it’s got to come out around $5/6 p/day.
I’m looking up all products on line, figuring out # of servings and do the math and we’ll see.
Has to be relatively super economical and incredibly healthy, not to mention trail UL friendly!
Once again, thanks.
@@markcummings6856 And it could be cheaper if you buy in bulk, sale, etc. For example, I could buy $1.25 worth of goji berries at the asian market that Walmart would charge $6. We have Ocean state Job Lot around here, you can get Bob Red Mill potatoe flakes cheap compared to supermarket.
Paul the Backpacker 👍 👍
Just remembered that in this video th-cam.com/video/dbfwIF9gzOk/w-d-xo.html in the description there is a break down of cost ishr.site/riSA VERY different meal plan, but even with many more expensive ingredients the cost was basically $10 per day for 4000 calories per day.
Great stuff as usual, Paul. From time to time you've mentioned bringing your meals to work, and it got me curious. What kind of work do you do?
Middle school teacher. And yes, almost every single breakfast is something I would bring backpacking and most of the time it is the overnight oats that I did a video on. Only difference is I will add fruit to it like frozen blueberries. My lunch yesterday was grabbed from my food box, a dinner that I made for a trip I never went on. And in one of mt file cabinets there us a drawer that is full of items that mimic my backpacking food box. There's a package of soy curls, mashed potatoes, gravy, etc. Whenever there are no left overs to pack I usually just hit that drawer :)
@@PaultheBackpacker Nice, Paul! Middle school teacher makes sense, actually! Thx for all the meal ideas. I took your breakfast shake idea (slightly modified) out onto 600km of the GDT last summer. Had it every morning and loved it.
@@jeffschroeder886 I am going to start asking viewers to start sending in their pictures of eating the meals on the trail. Do a special segment... I think that is what big time youtuber would do :)
@@PaultheBackpacker Haha, imagine the views/likes/subscriptions! ;)
I have diet controlled diabetes, and need to rely on protein, fat, and reduced carbs/increased fiber, in my diet. I've been using extra virgin olive oil for years, but have recently discovered that most brands are on the verge of being rancid right off the grocery shelves. I'm looking for a healthier choice to take hiking. Most of my dinners have been based on organic whole wheat orzo with a basic sauce made from thinned tomato paste, with various spices and parmesan cheese. I cook the pasta in minimal water with a healthy dose of oil. My snack, (mainly, with some "natural" protein bars in between) has typically been GORP, with almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc, and a small amount of M&Ms added to keep it interesting. I try to eat an egg and unsweetened organic oatmeal, sometimes with powdered milk because I'm used to it that way, the lactose bringing a touch of sweetness, plus, I've always thought that the extra protein couldn't hurt. I'm looking for the best substitutes for the milk powder and parmesan cheese, and your suggestions for a healthier oil. I'm not ready to go stoveless yet. Generally, on a 120-ish mile AT section hike I will lose 10 of my usual 205 pound weight. Btw: I love Ocean State Job Lot and Bob's Red Mill products mentioned by you elsewhere. Thanks for the information!
For the Parmesan cheese, look up "vegan parmesan cheese walnuts." Bunch of recipes out there. Basically walnuts, nutritional yeast, and some spices.
Funny...literally yesterday I wrote down "powdered milk substitutes" for a future video idea. I use coconut milk. You can get dried coconut cream and dried coconut milk. Not all are vegan, some have milk added. I have used powdered soy milk, that is more of an aquired taste without a sweetener. There are powdered nut milks and rice but a bit pricey.
Instead of the oil in your pasta, how about bringing an actual avocado? I don't use oil so I am not the right person to speak to an alternative oil...but you can use flaxseed oil. You would add it after cooking. Do not cook with it because it will break down. If you research it you will see that you need to use it soon after buying, breaks down after about six months.
Also curious about the weight loss. How soon after the hike do you put the weight back on. Losing 5% of your weight that quick...could it be water loss?? A lot of people tend to make sure they are eating, but not drinking. Or drinking, but not eating. Or drinking a lot at one time. All lead to water loss.
@@PaultheBackpacker I tend to eat very little the first week of every hike. For some reason the intense, sudden exercise suppresses my appetite. I usually eat better after that. I drink plenty of water while actually walking, but not enough in camp, because I will be getting up every half hour to pee.
hello, the link to the document isn't working for me, is there another way I could access that? Thank you, I love your videos :)
A problem with a lot of my older videos, the site I used to shorten my links no longer exists! here is a new link to the doc bit.ly/3otzsZQ
Great resource! How much water added?
I have given up trying to answer that 😀 So many variables from personal preference to season. In the summer I add more than needed and everything is more soupy for the extra hydration. In the winter it is thicker. One great thing about these is to experiment just start with just going a little over the top, soak, if too thick add a little more. You don't have to wait very long for the dishes to soak up the extra water. I am also not very picky so I just pour some water in and usually ok with whatever the thickness is.
I'm interested to see what is the difference in the view counts for both videos!
The vegan title has 3,000 in 2 years, and the one with cold soak and the title has 7,000 in one year!
@@PaultheBackpacker So you were right! That stigma on the vegan label... Ah well... Great channel by the way!
What kind of fish in your tank?
Rosy barbs, siamese algae eater, albino pleco, and zoogoneticus tequilla
A tasty mix-in that isn't vegan, but is vegetarian, is Hoosier Hill Farm Cheddar Cheese Powder. Works well with both mashed potatoes and oatmeal.
What you've got here is a classic '10 item challenge' and makes me wonder what 10 items I'd choose and how close they come to being as nutritionally on point. Hmmm...looks like I'm going to have to bust out a spreadsheet and find out. Thanks as always for the inspiration.
Combine their cheese with their powdered butter in the potato flakes....good ol day recipe :)
