Adventure Dining Guide is a web series about eating civilized, miles from civilization. I'm not a chef, I'm an outdoors woman. But, the food we eat on our journeys play an important role in how our bodies function. I created this series because backcountry cooks don't get enough credit for the delicious meals they prepare with minimal tools.

If you have any recipes you are proud of, and would like to share.....or, if you're in the Lake Tahoe area and are interested in being a guest on an episode please email me at:
michelle@sheaoutside.com

Episodes can be seen at: www.adventurediningguide.com

Happy Trails!
 
Looks like a good idea Michelle. I must admit that I have pretty much given up. Lately I just take ramen, quick soups, a few freeze dried meals, jerky, and some granola bars. I go for simplicity and light weight...... but mostly because of laziness. My palate seems to lose all finickiness (that can't be a word) when I backpack. Nearly any hot meal seems good to me after packing in for miles, hungry, and just wanting to hit the substandard, cheap, cold, sleeping bag on the cheap, substandard sleeping pad. We will sometimes mix things that shouldn't be mixed and, at the time, think...."hey this is pretty good". But..... when tried back in civilization I then realize that it wasn't such a good idea after all.......it was just the backcountry "anything hot-n-ready is good" syndrome. Examples like "boy these yogurt covered raisins in peach oatmeal with a crushed granola bar tastes great! We'll have to try this back home" but back at home it becomes obvious that it was an insane experiment.
 
Duke, I love your profile pic of the vintage boards! I'm a collector too. Thanks for your response, I couldn't agree more....amazing how food tastes better in nature. If you come up with any fun inventions, please send them my way. I love when random things come together to create delicious backcountry food.

Yes, they are hanging on the wall above me now. I stumbled into being a collector just by keeping my old sticks as the decades dragged on. These are some of my sticks from the 80s. If only my original Winterstick Roundtail had survived. I would pay mucho dinero to have that original, first Winterstick that I had my first ride on....hand crafted by Dmitrije Milovich himself at the Universe's epicenter 2225 South 500 East SLC Utah....the original home of Winterstick!!! but unfortunately I don't even have a pic of that one.

Re: the vittles: I'll try to remember some backcountry combinations that worked.
 
Not for me, but probably appeal to some. I just Mtn House it. Figure I can live eating that a few weeks a year. Besides when point to point hiking weight is important, no frills food is it.
