Awesome video! Can’t wait to watch the trip video when you guys get back
I struggle with losing my appetite the first few days on trail, and your video gave me some good ideas on things I could bring that I might eat. Thank you for this video, looking forward to following your hike.
When it comes to backpacking food I think you guys have one of the best channels. Getting your gear dialed in is one thing, but I found that you need to do the same with food. I made the mistake of overpacking and underpacking. You definitely have to find what works for you. I prefer some variety and having some favorites to look forward to on tough days. Can’t imagine backpacking with a guy that is only eating bean burritos for 7 days though! Hope you plan to stay upwind
Great video! I agree, the zip lock bags accumulate like crazy if you’re not mindful of it. Enjoy your adventure, gentlemen!
Thanks!
Great tips...especially the repackaging and reducing the trash. I'm having trouble stuffing all my food in a bear canister...so this is super helpful to reduce the size profile!
It’s much more work but cuts wayyyy down on overall bulk.
@@SchillBrothersOutdoors where do you buy your food and are you making more videos like this?
I love food. I love this video. Thanks guys! ;)
Looks like you will actually eat pretty well!! I absolutely love breakfast for dinner!!
Thanks Wendy!! We did eat very well.
Good selection for meals. Have to look into some of them. Have a bike tour coming up and will need the calories for sure. Take care, Al
Thanks for watching Al!
Stingers are the bomb...snacks are the best part...looking forward to the trip report..enjoy fellas
Thanks Bret!
Just got back a couple weeks ago from a 5 night 60 mile hike in the Weminuche Wilderness between Silverton and Durango. Gorgeous despite a little smoke from California. Be aware that you might not be allowed to use liquid burning stoves
Ronald thanks for the tip! We ended up using a canister stove, however, from what I was told we were GTG on Alcohol while we were there (we just got back)
Informative and charismatic! thank you :-)
Yo Guys! Love your channel! Just subscribed not too long ago. I like the idea of re-use of the freezer bags for breakfast!! Think i'm going to adopt that for the future. Just picked up some Mountain House biscuits and gravy. Havent tried that meal yet. What would you rate it on a 1-10 scale? Great video! Video very informative!! Thx Guys! Good luck in Colorado! Watch out for them grizzlies!
Thanks for subscribing!! In my opinion biscuits and gravy is a 10!!!
Good choices but not enough variety for me. To each his own though. No Ramen Bomb fixins? Ever consider Stove Top Stuffing mix with some powdered gravy mix added in. Good stuff. What does your 7 day food load out weigh? I use the freezer bag method also. Good tip. Have a great trip. Be safe.
Hey Jon, I have done stuffing mix with gravy and mashed potatoes and it’s amazing. No ramen bombs for this trip.
I tried right on trek meals on a recent trip. It was bomb!
When I hiked in the high country of Glacier National Park back in 2003, I made the mistake of leaving behind some bars and such and ended up regretting it. Luckily the group had enough to share so it ended up not being a problem. Like Andy, I didn't get enough calories during my main meals, something I would change of I were going to get back into this. Draggin' ass on the trail kinda sucks...
Lol Andy. Just got back and I had a bunch of extra food. Glad I had it and didn’t use it rather then being hungry.
I'm hiking the Foothills Trail in October and although I've heard of cold soaking food, especially oatmeal, I've never tried it. Can you explain just how you do it, the amount of water used, how long does it soak? And any other suggests or tips you've learned about cold soaking. I'm especially wondering about your dehydrated burrito mix. Do you eat it cold? and how tasty is that? Thanks!
Another great vid. Good info.
When you package multiple servings in one bag, do you have issues getting enough of the mix into a separate bag/pot? Like not getting enough of the powdered cheese or spices. (If you only are cooking one serving)
Glad you brought this up, yes that does happen. I try to make sure I get even servings of everything for each meal, but it doesn’t always happen.
Schill Brothers Outdoors When you say you reuse your ziplock bags, does that mean you just used one for the entire trip for breakfast and kept taking the dehydrated food out of the one big bag?
If y’all like to kick up your Taco Bell sauces, I know there are sriracha packets available. I bought some at REI recently. Great channel and keep up the good work!
Thanks Josh, I’ve also seen those around. Interesting thing too Kevin ended up bringing a small bottle of Sriracha.
Hi from Holland. Nice white/yellowed shirt Kevin :)))
Hahahahaha
When you cold soak in a bag, where do you keep it so it doesn’t open? Or do you not hike with it while soaking?
Great video! Quick question - do you guys try and target a certain number of calories per day? I’ve seen numbers from 2,000 - 4,000 per day, so was curious about your approach.
Neil, I was roughly shooting for 2.5k per day. However, I really didn’t measure it out. We just got back and I had a lot of extra food.
Do you know which grocery store sells the WIld Friends individual peanut butter packets? I bought 1 to try a long time ago at Target and now I can't find them anymore. I know they are available online, I just don't need 20 of them in bulk.
What is the make-up/proportions of the Buffalo Chicken - Easy Mac meal? Sounds like something to try out.
I rationed about 1/2cup of the dehydrated buffalo chicken mix to two packets of kraft easy Mac. That seems to work ok.
So my question is do you just add boiling water to the zip lock? Have never tried that before. Have always used the mountain house bags or just packed MREs. Also where do you get your stingers? Love the channel. Keep up the awesome work!
Yes. I do it all the time. Make sure you buy name brand "freezer" bags not sandwich bags or the boiling water might burn a hole in the bag. You can also reuse the empty Mountain House bag as a coozy to keep the freezer bags warm longer while it re hydrates. Only takes one MH bag to re hydrate all your meals.
Like Jon said, just grab Freezer bags and add boiling water to them, works great! All the normal grocery stores around me carry stinger brand gels and wafers. You can get them on amazon too.
I mix the peanut m&m and the almond ones.
Have you tried the bean burrito with a spicy Italian sausage
I know this is an old video... but what sort of weight would a good load like this be? I feel like my food is always so heavy! 🙈
They answered another comment that this was 9 lbs.
Will you or do you have to carry a bear canister on this trip?
Nope. We hung our food/smellables at night
First
My latest video shows my food in my INCH bag, this is not for camping, but set up for emergency bugout.
It ways almost 20 lbs but should easily carry me for 30 days, with nutrition and variety.
Check out the video, you may get something new and useful.
Him: "I don't eat enough, during the day..."
Me: 🤨
You need more Snickers
have you guys thought about pixie sticks there good quick energy for the climbs out in Colorado? and they weigh next to nothing
Jodi Miller they do work good..
yes at least for me they do
I’ve never thought of that before, good idea.
So, how much does the food weigh per day and how many calories per day is it?
I planned for roughly 2500 calories per day. I think my food bag weighed in at 9lbs. I ended up ditching some bars and picked up some cheese.
Schill Brothers Outdoors I don’t know how you did it with the most calorically dense known hiking foods coming in at 1.5 - 2 lbs. a day, but wow! 9 lbs for 7 days is incredible!
That’s a lot of peanut butter product
It sure is. Heavy but delicious.
whiskey? vodka?
No booze this trip. Considered it but didn’t make time to grab it in Colorado
For not wanting to generate a lot of trash you're generating a lot of trash.
How about healthier options. Too much sugary food. I like you dehydrate your own food.
Damn just so much plastic i see that is an ametican thing..
SAD, no thanks.
Eat less snacks, burn more body fat.
