What is the best way to eat while hiking the Appalachian Trail?
My two friends and i were planning on hiking the AT for two weeks and we were wondering what would be the best way to eat.
Answer: Carry dry meals that require re - H2o. Avoid taking anything in a can.Depending on the time of year you go as what you take with you.Most hikers take mac and cheese.It's easy to fix and fills you up.Last along time and fuels you with the carbs you'll need.Other items--apples--a few-small ones - nuts, crackers, jerky,trail mix--you can make your on very cheaply.Since you have 2 hikers with you all of you can split up what you take and still eat well.Hang your food every night your out on the A.T. to keep the bears away.Dehydrated meals are good and can feed 2 to 3 from one pouch.A little high on price though.
