Backpacking and Hiking Recipes
Making your own backpacking meals is a great option compared to buying expensive freeze-dried or dehydrated meals. Many backpacking and hiking recipes consist of less expensive, basic foods that can be found at most grocery stores, such as dried milk, rice, or pasta. Many specialty items can be found at online stores such as Wilderness Dining and Packit Gourmet.
Wild Backpacker has collected recipes from One Pan Wonders, Trail Cooking, and other fantastic outdoor food websites to bring together the best quality of popular recipes for you. You can make these meals while you backpack, hike, or camp, most of which in just a zip lock freezer bag. The top right corners of recipes are marked with a FB (Freezer Bag), or for one requiring only one small pot, an OP (One Pot).
