I take roman noodles and a small/medium pot. the pot adds a little bit of weight but it also works as a pan if you were to catch a fish or kill a squirrel or bird to eat it also works well to boil water for drinking and also for soups made with roots berries etc this way if I can't git any of my own food I'm not lugging heavy foods

GORP, oatmeal, cheese, some sort of hunters sausage, and pepperoni. Some single wrapped snickers for snacks at night.  Dried stuff I can add water to for dinner.  Depends on how long and how much gear and how hard of a trek that sort of thing.  But thats like the basics of what I'd go out with.

i try not to. I do bring beef jerky, a small amount of rice, and a few granola bars. how much all depends on how long I plan spend on the trek. but that's only for emergency.

I bring my area horticultural ID book and a .22 rifle and try to ID and kill my own foods..
but like nksfo5 said, a pot is important to cook or make tea in..

happy trekking:peace::sun::kratom:

In the UK there is no real opportunity for hunting or even foraging a decent supply of food.  It's not even legal to camp in the wild over here there is such little space to go around.  Some of the legal campsites don't even allow fires.  UK is fairly poor for camping.

I tend not to carry cooking equipment due to the weight and lack of legal options in places.

Raisons, Nuts, Trail mix and other dried foods than keep outta the fridge.
Fruits, pre-prepped sandwhiches, cereal bars, chocolate and any other high calorie junk food that will tide me over.

Cooking-wise it's very limited.  There is no culture for camping/ hiking here so there arent many shared skills or tricks.  I'm going to have to look into some more creative methods of cooking for my next long trip.  When camping though there is always the risk of been moved off your spot by the land owner, forestry wardens or the police so digging an oven is a gamble. 

Noodles/ pasta if there is a pot.

Bacon n egg sandwhiches if there's a frying pan.

I usually carry several of those freeze-dried,"instant" meals when I go out backpacking. They're generally made with quality ingredients, pretty tasty & satisfying, easy prep & clean-up, light weight, all that stuff. I tend to go with the pasta varieties due to a bad incident with the rice ones.

Other than that:

good, dry beef jerky. Railey's is what's preferred. and/or smoked fish. Salmon or albacore
raisins, nuts & chocolate. almonds and sundrop,  organic m&m's
mac & cheese
tuna pouches
a couple of eggs
oatmeal packets or grits
a few pieces of fruit carried inside of my pots
some times a loaf of home baked bread, honey& oats keeps the best
if not, then crackers
Quinoa or cos cos cooks up pretty quick
salt & pepper (duh)
emergenC packets (kratom)

I'm sure I left out some things, that's the jist. I don't mind carrying a bunch of extra weight in food for most trips. I'd rather have the variety right now. As I get older I'll probably take the weight into consideration..


These handy little gadgets turn any stick into a barbeque skewer for roasting trout over the fire..

anyone ever do like really traditional foods around here?  like the kind of stuff they would have taken on a journey a hundred or more years ago.  like dessert crossings, mountaineering, sea crossings, and such.  im thinking stuff like those dry breads with lots of calories, smoked meats, ect.  id love to know more about stuff like this.

I always like some bread, cheese, olive oil, and charcuterie. 

Hunter sausage or link is really good stuff.

Soft cheese yeah. A good hard cheese can stay good unrefrigerated for days.

Yeah  I realize some things taste SOO much better on the trail after a couple days.  I used to go on week long hikes with a group and we would bring flavored pretzel bites.  By the third day they were the most amazing things ever.  But then when I got home and had a bag I was all

Usually always dried fruit, jerky, fruit leather, and various nuts for when I am just embarking on a day hike but for longer treks I pack things like ramen noodles, soup, and other non perishable food to eat when I don't catch a fish or find something to eat during the hike.

You can also pack good quality soft cheese wrapped in paper towel soaked in vinegar, the cheese gets soft, but is still good in tacos or other recipes for 2-3 days.
