My Scout Troop is going on a 3-day backpacking trip next week in the Grayson Highlands State Park just across the state line in VA. In preparation for the trip, Gavin and I sat down at lunch today and planned out our menu. Here is what we came up with:
Here is what we have, in detail…
| Breakfast Oatmeal Dried Fruit Granola | Breakfast Oatmeal Dried Fruit Granola |
|
| Lunch PB & Raisin Tortilla Cheese | Lunch PB & Raisin Tortilla Cheese |
|
| Supper Mashed Potatoes Chicken (probably need some spices?) | Supper Rice with Bouillon Powder Spam or Pepperoni | |
| Snacks Snickers Dried Fruit Almonds | Snacks Snickers Dried Fruit Almonds |
Our goal was to come up with foods that have plenty of protein and calories that will also be easy and lightweight to pack. One comment Beth had was that the Snickers bars might melt, and she’s probably right. I also realized after taking this picture that I don’t have any coffee. I’ll have to go fix that immediately. I usually use the Folgers individual “tea bag” coffee when hiking. They’re individually wrapped and taste more like “real” coffee than instant. Note, too, that this food is for two of us. My portion is ~5lbs, and Gavin’s is a little over 3lbs.
Ok I can see it now.
Coffee is a must and so is flavored creamer?
