alienjenn Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I don't hike, but I do walk a lot. I like beef jerky as my emergency snack of choice. A trail mix of sunflower seeds, dried fruit, coconut chips and nuts, might suit you well if you're after a high calorie hiking snack. I don't purposely try to be negative. .. I have a lot of allergies and issues I've been trying to make jerky. ... most commercial jerky around here has msg. .. and its so hard and crunchy. .. I haven't quite got it right I've had to eliminate nuts/seeds (although finely ground butters are ok I'm moderation) because of gut issues I'm highly allergic to coconut So I like dried fruit but my issue there is that when we go out it's for days at a time. ... needs moar protein. .. I took pouches of tuna which worked but they aren't very high calorie. ... I got pepperoni (which in jenn paleo is allowed)... also had some single serve peanut butter cups. (And ioccasionally allow dark chocolate so one night igot aHershey dark chocolate bar and stopped it in the pb..... oh so yum!)... and once in town i got some sirloin burger chunky soup for breakfast. ... it's different on the bikes because i can carry more. .. and it's different when we go through towns because i can resupply Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Level 10.4 Wood-Elf, Ranger - specializing in demon fighting "doing the impossible since 2012 :D" - Librarian of Doom facebook battle log level 50 WOOT Backstory CNF2014 current (not challenge - doing a battle log this time) Spoiler * This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice in it and be glad.

alienjenn Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Depending on how we are going and how long. ... I've done baked sweet potatoes and pepperoni. .. My biggest issues are protein. .. and not spoiling and squashing. .. I pack must everything in Ziploc because it's light and the trash is compact. ... I like chicken breasts and I'll take them if we are going to have fire. ... if they are frozen when we start i usually trust them to last till singer without spoiling. .. if we are biking sometimes i have a small cooler bag that weighs nothing and I'll buy frozen meat (that's always my favorite) to cook for dinner or breakfast depending on the time etc Also if we are planning on fire I'll take some sweet potato to cook that's easy to carry and hard to smash when raw; ) But this last trip i basically had six pouches of tuna and dried fruit and two package pepperoni. ... dark chocolate and peanut butter. .. a can of soup. ...three mornings i had coffee (bottled Starbucks) stopped four meals in towns had a bunless burger/fries... corn chip nachos hardees burger bunless with fries and a giant chef salad. ... and that's what i ate for four days.... nothing tastes better than food you had to carry twenty miles (or more) to eat (it looks like a lot until you consider that i biked over a hundred miles in eighty degrees plus heat and humidity and i need like five thousands calories per day on days like this. ... this probably worked out to 2500 ish per day. ... so i FELT hungry) I also carry a three liter hydration bladder which i added100% fruit juice to for more calorie/electrolytes (I can't stand Gatorade) Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Level 10.4 Wood-Elf, Ranger - specializing in demon fighting "doing the impossible since 2012 :D" - Librarian of Doom facebook battle log level 50 WOOT Backstory CNF2014 current (not challenge - doing a battle log this time) Spoiler * This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice in it and be glad.

UltraPoweR Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Now the story is awesome,thank you for sharing!One thing:it has been proven(there are books and research on internet about this) that fasting(drinking only water,eating nothing) for a week or so,is what gets your health either up or WAY up.When your body is in starvation mode for a while,it runs out of energy reserves from kidneys and muscles,so it starts eating everything bad,things like toxins,waste,scars,the bad stuff.THAT is the primary reason why your health becomes better when you do fasting-your body destroys the bad stuff inside.So do that twice in a year for no more than a week,you;ll definitely see the benefits.Just don't forget to build the muscle back up(you may lose muscle mass) Quote I'm here because I wanna be proud when I look in the mirror and be an ispiration.What are YOU here for?STR-1 DEX-3 STA-3 WIS-2 CHA-1 CON-5(I NEVER get sick.Don't make a noise when you punch me either).Level-1.I believe in the power of the mind and Law Of Attraction.From now on,I proclaim myself not afraid of scorpions!
