Backcountry adventure and cuisine for aspiring hiker trash
OutDoor Pantry Tex Mex Chili
It’s not quite real chili, but it’s real good This is the final meal from Outdoor Pantry that I had on my last hike. And taste-wise, it’s another winner. But that comes with a couple of caveats. This meal is described on the Outdoor…
Trail Thanksgiving
Outdoor Pantry Homestyle Turkey Dinner and Brown Butter Sweet Potato Mash This combination was saved for the final dinner on my Pictured Rocks hike, and it was the culinary standout of the week. Now, at a combined $16.95 this obviously isn’t something you would…
Outdoor Pantry Hamburger Skillet
Another sneaky good offering from Outdoor Pantry Zoiks, my 5th post in 6 days! That should tell you that I’ve been bored this week. Luckily I have some things coming up to distract me. But in the meantime, here’s a review of another meal…
Peak Refuel Breakfast Skillet
The best commercial breakfast I’ve ever had so far Peak Refuel is another fairly new maker of freeze-dried backpacking meals. They seem to have a bit of a cult following, so when I decided to cook hot breakfast meals on my last trip, I…

Food For The Sole Coconut Rice and Cuban Black Beans
A great meal whether hot or cold Well, I know it’s great cold because that’s how I had it. I’m sure it’s awesome hot too. So tonight I was bored and browsing some of my favorite hiking blogs, and I got annoyed. Seems like…
Creamy Pasta And Shells
Creamier than it looks On my last hike, despite being in part of the NOBO thru-hiker bubble on the AT, I somehow found myself the only person at the Thunder Hill Shelter one evening. There was a picnic table there under an old spruce…
Lebanese Beef Stew
Something a little different to pair with your rice This dish is known as Bazella Riz Lahme in its homeland. I’m partial to cuisine from North Africa and the Fertile Crescent, so this one was a natural for my “cookbook,” which is in reality…
FFTS Quinoa
Food For The Sole Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Kale and Quinoa to be exact This is another excellent meal made by Food For The Sole that I cold-soaked on my recent section hike. It was intended to be a lunch, but the shelter I…
