- Please note, I no longer bring coconut milk powder, instead I buy desiccated coconut which is very very finely shredded coconut. It makes clean-up so much easier.
Here is the doc with nutrition information isn.page.link/FeBa

I never tried cold soaking nor vegan but this has caught my attention. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Getting into cold prep for backpacking. Super helpful and appreciated
Great nutritious and at the same time simple recipes, thanks for sharing!
You have a Great Channel here, Thanks from Mark
Thanks for watching!
Great cold soak idea.
Canned sardines in olive oil. Nutrient rich. Or salmon pouches in extra virgin olive oil. Super nutritious and anti inflammatory.
This was such a great video. Really appreciate your channel!
Thanks! At some point I posted basically the same video, but with the title 10 things every vegan Backpacker should bring -- hardly anybody watched it :-)
Great cold soak suggestions - thx! My go-to ingredient is couscous, and then I add similair stuff from there. I agree that raisins do really liven it up 😀 even in savory meals.
I do some golden raisins and walnuts with couscous, let it soak a bit longer to let the raisins get nice and plump, so good :-)
3 years late but I would toast the oatmeal in a dry skillet beforehand, to give a bit more flavor. and for those who are diabetic I would suggest using oat bran instead. Less carbs and more fiber which means less likely to have a sugar spike majorly. and add more nuts and use dried blueberries and raspberries which have lower GI stats.
Great video! I’m a vegan backpacker as well. Just started backpacking last year. I’ve experimented with ramen and couscous as my base and it was also great. Making a savory oatmeal for dinner is also something I enjoy. Add oats, mushroom bullion,salt, pepper, fried onions, TVP, and whatever spices you like and it’s delicious! Thanks for the ideas!
Always stoked to see an upload, killer presentation, killer info as always🤟
We used to make what we called "Luxury Muesli" for longer trips. What made it luxurious for us was dried peaches, and hazelnuts. (We'd add nutritional yeast for B vitamins.) In colder weather we'd substitute pecans for the hazelnuts to match the forecast overnight low temperatures. (Keep your pecans away from open flames!)
If you have a food dehydrator, there are several excellent vegetable sources of calcium, collard greens, for example. Dry the greens, crumble them, add them to likely accompaniments: freeze-dried black eyed peas,, hot pepper flakes, maybe even a drop of liquid smoke?!? Also: if you know a brand of tofu that uses calcium sulfate (aka terra alba aka gypsum) as the coagulant, you could dry the tofu to add to your cold soak meal.
Pro tip from a guy with decades of experience: green tea + lipids + proteins... skip the bulky, inessential carbohydrate.
I love how at the beginning of the video you added the disclaimer about how you didn't want to scare off the non-vegans, and I was feeling thrilled to find it. Been plant based for about 20 years and just getting into the idea of no-cook systems. This is the first video I've come across that shows all vegan options. Hard cheese is a favorite of my thru hiking friends, so I did some research and found a youtube video today on 18 month aged hard vegan cheese and am considering making some and testing it out on a bike tour (in a year and a half when it's ready!)
Anyhow, thanks for this detail. It's super helpful for a novice no-cooker.
Thanks, there's probably about 30 other simple recipes that fit into a vegan cold soak menu on this channel if you poke around :-)
Best cold soaking video! So glad I found this and Im vegan which helps alot! Well done
Unfortunately the doc with nutritional info link is no longer working. Any chance you can re-post? TIA!!
For a 1-2 hiking trip or when bringing lunch for rock climbing I substitute the coconut milk powder with vegan vanilla protein powder.
I found it easier to clean than the coconut. But really not as calories dense.
I really like your channel by the way.
I love your down to earth approach
I forgot to add my change to the description. This video is actually pretty old, made last January?? Soon after it I changed to desiccated coconut which is very very finely ground coconut because it does make the clean-up simple. I also often throw some protein powder into my meals...I go for chocolate though :)
THANKS A BUNCH for this! I am a plant based eater and was looking for vids for vegan cold soaking meals yay! and its healthy too so double YAY!
There are about 30 or 40 different food videos on the channel, about 99% vegan and all are cold soak :-)
Sounds all good. I would do smaller portions for me and substitute cranberries for the raisins (me not like raisins). Thanks for the ideas. I should be able to find most of the ingredients even in my rural area. I do take a small, DIY alcohol stove for my coffee or green tea, but I hate meal prep. Cold soaking is nice. You are giving me some great ideas for more variety.
This might sound silly, but when the raisins are soaked and they get plump, it just tastes like a little bite of sugar. I can't ever remember just eating raisins and for the first 40 years of my life :-) and then when I was trying to find something to replace sugar I experimented with them. I do love cranberries though, I have some recipes on this channel way back in which no raisins appear only cranberries!
3,000 cals is excellent. Thanks for sharing this information. Kentucky
"Sold" vs cold in your title?😉 Thanks for another fun and informative video.
I was on my phone when your comment first came through and was like...I don't get the joke he is trying to make :) I thought you were saying you were "sold" on cold soaking! Finally figured it out, thank you for pointing that out, the title is fixed.
I have most of those items. I will be starting my at home testing soon. I go for long walks / hikes to try an stay fit and healthy. I got one of those mini butane stoves and when I get to the furthest part of my hike I make and or have something to eat. I have been calling them noodle hikes or walks because that is what I have been making lately ramen noodles. I am gong to be doing some work with cornmeal also but you can't cold soak that (the regular corn meal). There was and maybe still is a famous tarp hiker whos main food was polenta or mush made from cornmeal.
Love the name "noodle hikes!"
This is great. I’m a vegan backpacker too👍
Plant based backpacking represent 🌱💪
Is it possible to still get the document somewhere? Thanks for the great info!
Awesome video, Paul! I'm vegan but looking for more off-grid food ideas. TVP is what Hormel uses in their canned Vegetarian Chili. Bob's Red Mill TVP is pretty easy to find on my local WM shelf, and there's a mom and pop Asian grocery a few yards before their entrance drive. Haven't tried goji berries or soy curls yet, but I noticed Sweet Simple Vegan tried and recommends them highly, so I plan on ordering some. Instead of the brown gravy, I would substitute a curry blend, whatever is used by the vegan seafood producers for shrimp flavoring, and whatever else is used in Shah Jahan Biryani. That kind of heaven, savored offgrid in the cathedral of Nature could only lead to a sublime experience! Namaste'. 💖
Hey Paul, I just cold soaked ramen for the first time. The noodles were so plump. Woohoo! Can't wait to try more of your recipes. Thank you! Namaste'. 💖
Hope you are well
All better :)
Hi, currently on the Appalachian Trail. After 1 month of using my stove i would like to go cold soaking! You're video is really great!! But as I'm a french speaking, having the document would really help my understanding some of the ingredients and measurements.
Thank you very much!
Here you go docs.google.com/document/d/1uxfM7_H01to4SdF1t5xK02MjjurjPl82RAs9o-sOU14/edit?usp=drivesdk
@@PaultheBackpacker thank you very much! I appreciate that 😊
Every video of yours I've watched is AMAZING but do you have any recommendations for things I can make with simple resupply stops in town during a thru hike. This looks delicious, I'm just not sure how common some of the items in this video are. Love ur vids 👍🏻
No thru-hike experience here until I retire! I am a weekend, long weekend warrior :-)
you hooked me with Vegan
The real issue is calorie density of your food. When you have a pasta meal, your pasta is 85 calories per ounce. Flour is 103 calories per ounce, so pastries/cookies aren't much better. Whether you cook or cold soak pasta to make it edible, pasta (and other flour based meals) are mostly carbs the rest is water and some seasoning. Pecans are 200 calories per ounce and mostly protein, fat, and low carbs (which is mostly fiber) which is much better for you than prepared meals. You get twice the calorie density by eating pecans or walnuts and they are ready to eat without cooking. Buy bags of shelled pecan halves or walnut halves at most grocery stores. I love rice & pasta meals, but for calorie density and conservation of pack weight, pecans or walnuts are the winner. You can survive on pecans or walnuts. The down side, is because of the high fiber content, you will need some extra toilet paper or butt wipes.
Agree, not going for the lightest meal.
Nuts have more Pranic energy than any food.
Just soak 3 types of any below nuts in water for one night. Almonds, Cashew nuts, Pea nuts, Walnuts, Sun flower seeds, Watermelon seeds, Pumpkin seeds. They are ready to eat along with any Fruits. This is uncooked, unboiled Raw Natural Vegetarian protein food. Best for immunity boosting. If we cook any of the food, it's micro nutrients will be lost. This is best meal for backpackers. Thank you.
Thanks for recipes going to try these. One glaring omission though is how much water you put in?
One of the more common questions! I never measure and just eyeball it. In the winter everything tends to be thicker, and the summer everything's a bit more soupy to get more water and me. I'm really not careful with the measuring. If I go to eat it and it's too thick I'll just add more water and if it's too soupy that usually doesn't matter!
@@PaultheBackpacker Thanks. I'll experiment.
Hi Paul - thanks for the video! Where is the link to the recipes?
Oops, if I said in the video there was a link to the exact ingredients I was incorrect. I don't have a doc written up for this video.
@@PaultheBackpacker I think I misundertstood.
Got it--Here is the doc with nutrition information isn.page.link/FeBa
Hi Paul, do you consume caffeine? I'm thinking about switching to cold soak, but I do love some caffeine in the morning. Instead of coffee, I may just start taking chocolate covered espresso beans.
Nope, last time I had coffee while I was in 5th grade :-)
Add nutritional yeast to your recipes and you will bring up the vitamin B1 substantially while adding flavor at the same time. I hope you read this. Nutritional yeast really helps when you are tired as well.
Without going back and checking out this video, I'm pretty sure I was aiming at just the macronutrients with these ingredients and also trying to appeal to all Backpackers without scaring off anybody:-) this video was part of an experiment. A year before this video was published I published the exact same video with the title 10 ingredients every vegan pack Backpacker needs:-) you can probably guess which received more views! Nutritional yeast is a staple in our house and on trips. As a bonus, 4 grams of protein in every tablespoon :-)
Add olive oil for more calories and nutrition… avoiding the black hole effect of long trails.
I need a recipe! Please
Scroll through the videos on the channel and you'll find probably about 10 other videos with recipes.
bummer it’s so hard to bring fresh food backpacking - then it would be so easy to perfectly hit RDI’s! What do you do for work?
Middle school teacher...just quarentined from work on Friday :) Apparently i was a close contact...ug.
@@PaultheBackpacker This video was so clear and thorough, I should have known you were a MS teacher! Thanks for sharing these simple and cost effective strategies!
So this is why people crave McDonalds and Big burger places when they come to town. I think I would pull out the peanuts, and soy, they are linked to leaky gut issues.
How much water do you add?
Because I never really measure my dry ingredients, the amount of water will change a little bit every time. Normally I fill to cover the dry ingredients and then add a little bit more. So easy to just add a little bit more water if needed, and in the summer I will normally add more water and make it quite sub just to get a little extra hydration.
No stove all the way!! Im not vegan tho. Love the vid tho, amigo! Most of my ration is vegan, actually, but i take jerky and pemmican, too.
Maybe put in some freeze dried vegetables.
All the nutrition is usually lost in almost all freeze dried vegetables. So I don't find they are worth the money. Or time! Maybe good for some fiber :)
Here's a tip for the meat eaters out there.
Recently started cold soaking myself, and although all the meals I was making were very tasty, I never ended up feeling full afterwards. The result of this was that I made way too large portions. Upwards of 300 grams pr. meal.
When shopping ingredients for my last trip, I stumbled over some mini salamis on sale. Took a handful of them with me on trail and ate them as a side for my couscous. It completely solved my problem.
Cold soak the carbs only :) perfect!
Nutrition link appears to be busted:(
I dont see the link to the chronometer page you show here.
Did I mention in the video there is a link in the description? Without going back and watching the video I don't remember what I said. I might have said that for the other videos with food they have the links, but not this one.
@@PaultheBackpacker Yeah you do, but no worries.
Got it--Here is the doc with nutrition information isn.page.link/FeBa
@@PaultheBackpacker Thanks!
FYI: Your document link appears to be dead.
docs.google.com/document/d/1uxfM7_H01to4SdF1t5xK02MjjurjPl82RAs9o-sOU14/edit?usp=drivesdk. Finally found it!
Hi, what is the weight on your 3 meals?
My earlier videos I used to always weigh each meal, I stopped doing it :-) but my goal is always close to 4,000 calories and under 2 pounds. Being under 2 pounds is easy, the calories is obviously all dependent on what type of food I bring.
Great information! Sadly, your nutrition info link no longer works.
Finally found it. The document is actually called vegan food because I did a little experiment with this video. I made the same exact video but made it with two different titles to see which one people would click on more:-) docs.google.com/document/d/1uxfM7_H01to4SdF1t5xK02MjjurjPl82RAs9o-sOU14/edit?usp=drivesdk
How much water do you add to those two meals
An often asked question that I never have an answer to! I never really measure I just kind of pour some in and just know what level it should be. In the cold I usually do less and in the summer I do more for a more watery meal. I think there's no perfect amount, you just try it at home with less than you think is necessary, and then you can just keep adding more until you get it right. And then once you go out you'll know exactly what works for you. I know, Not a great answer!
You commented on a cold soap pot that you really liked what was it again and where do I find it on Amazon
Without without going back and watching the video I'm not sure what you're referring to. I've never brought a pot. I normally bring a peanut butter jar. I might have mentioned a bowl that I've used. It's a Snow peak titanium bowl.

This is perfect! Go vegan 🌞🌿
Love that you`re vegan, but why the fish in the aquarium :(
Ug..... :)
Lol. People are so affraid of the v-word. Ironic that I'm plant based but I just clicked on your vid to learn more about cold soaking irregardless of you dietary preferences.
This video without the v-word published a year later and many more views than the other :)
