Backpacking Wilderness Trails in British Columbia Lesson 3 - Food
Seven days backpacking in the desert, the participants will need everything they have to bear in order to survive, including food. From my own experience I can promise potential West Coast Trail hikers that they will curse every gram of weight in their backpacks, at least 100 times per day. Obviously, for reasons of space, weight and nutrition security, it is not possible, fresh foods, canned, frozen or microwaveable pack, you should still expect a lot, theEither take away or tent delivery. I'm not sure if it is near Carmannah Point, set a native lady is still there, but a trailside restaurant "Chez Monique and when it does it again this year, it has the best hamburger you ever in your life and also the biggest. Check with Parks Canada, before you leave. to the rest of the meals in your backpack with coffee, tea, rain suit gear, and sleeping pad, tent, cutlery, pans, first aid kit, clothing,Water filters, ropes and many other articles to the full path.
Some of these devices can work with the other members of your party, but shared the only viable solution for the food, is the powder type. Apart from some funny stories about these things in my book, is the reality that add lots of different products in the boiling water and stir diversity and most of them are not so poor that fall. Planning is important because you do not wish that they toomuch because of the unnecessary weight and too little will not work.
Try some of the packaged products before they into the wilderness, because that is the wrong place to find out that you really do not like the brew scrambled eggs for breakfast. The food is absolutely important, and you simply can not afford to skip a meal just because you do not like the taste. Do your research first. We found that the grocery store variety of instant oatmeal was quick and nutritious and easy topack and make for breakfast. It is much cheaper than the store offers camping, too. One might consider a couple of juice crystal packages to accommodate your water supply, because it masks the taste of filtered water. We imagined that we would make something warm for lunch, but never did it because the time and effort it required to unpack and set up the stove and wait then not cool that wrap setting. Unless you like to do something like find a cold lunch ideas that workFor 7 days or even 5, if Monique is open, and the last days you will be in the starting point and a restaurant nearby. Nuts and dried berries are a thought, unless you already have too much trail mix. Speaking of snack products, try Eat More candy bar, they are really tasty, chewy, sweet and so less money than the so-called power bars.
If I have to do it more than I would have some fresh food for the first night, including some brought fresh fruit to dessert. Perhaps with aApple banana or a snack on the first day or so would also help. They will not last long, but it would keep the number of days with gunpowder, and nodes to a minimum. If you do not eat, do it yourself, you could probably sell an apple to someone who walks the opposite direction from you is for a pretty good buck. The next time we will talk about clothes.
