The silicone bags are much healthier to cook in. As a Girl Scout employee I reached out to Ziploc to ask about the safety of cooking with boiling water using their bags. They answered me saying that they don’t recommend using the storage bags or the freezer bags as the plasticizers are not heat stable. When they are released into food they can become hormone disrupters. Nylon bags are safe at higher temperatures. There are steamer bags made to be microwaved and are heat stable, as is silicone. I love your videos!!

Great ideas. I am going to use some of them. One thing I have learned to do is dehydrate my cheese. You have to use the lowest setting on your dehydrator, or it will melt and all of the oil will run out. Better yet, slice it, put on racks and set it outside (if the humidity is low) or put a fan on it. Saves about 30% on weight, and increases the longevity of the cheese on the trail.

Great set of videos and information… and very well presented. Two suggestion to pass along. 1) when you are going to add powdered milk (or berries or seeds, etc.,) to oats anyway, add it in the oats prior to bagging/ mixing -- less baggies to carry and dispose of. One pot shop 😊. 2) consider making a cozy for your pot - mix the food in that and rehydrate/ eat from that instead of another baggy. Yes, need to rinse pot, but easier to eat and less plastic waste.

Good video, thank you. For those with dairy intolerance, here's a trick for making porridge without milk: I take rolled oats and run them through a flaker again. If you don't have a flaker, you can use a blender to get smaller flakes and some oat flour, which will make the porridge creamier (as if it contained milk). But don't leave them in the blender too long, or you'll end up with nothing but flour. Then process the flakes and other ingredients as usual. Enjoy your meal 😊

Thank you for a superior video. In a tad over thirteen minutes, you have presented a library of great camping and emergency meal ideas. We have to search for many products here in the Philippines and do a lot of substitutions. When Beautiful Bride and I got together, she brought three wonderful young troops to our marriage. One of the first things we discovered was how much her kids enjoyed some of my healthy camp meal concoctions. When Mom is busy with a work assignment, it is a true pleasure for me to receive a sudden request. "Dad, can you make camp meal #3 (or any of the full selection), I am hungry." The troops are learning to do all of what I do on their own. That independence makes Mom a little sad, they are growing up. I agree but I also love the idea our troops are better prepared to get past bad situations in life. Thank you for sharing your ideas, maybe we will see you on the trail one day.

Not to be one of those people, but you should probably be told that 'oriental' refers to specific goods but most importantly ONLY those from the FAR East. I suspect that you mean an Asian market instead of an Oriental grocery store. Not all of Asia is the FAR East. China alone is quite large. While I am sure that many people probably think they know what you meant, you can verify this simply by asking Google or Bing or whatever search engine you prefer to list the 'Oriental grocery stores' in your area and then see what comes up. It will likely ignore what you asked for and simply show you Asian markets. Meanwhile, it's possibly now also labeled you as either low class or racist, even though using the term means neither.

Beechers Cheese also sells their flagship cheese in a prepackaged cheese stick form, which is perfect for trail. I just picked up a package of these from Costco this morning. The single serving packages of cheese and meats have a fair amount of shelf life when out on trail, as long as you keep them out of direct sunlight and eat them while you're out there.

Shelf stable foods tend to last quite a long time out on trail, which is why a lot of backpack packers include items like these in their food bags.

great video, love the detail on cost and calories, can suggest morning shake of instant espresso and swiss miss hot chocolate ( I prefer rich over standard milk choc flavor) doesn't have the vitamins of the carnation instant breakfasts, but instant milk already included, and imo choc flavor better

This is fantastic information ... thanks. The one question I have is how you clean the Cnoc bag, or refrigirator bags after use? Any tips on that topic?
@TheHungryHiker
Жыл бұрын
If I'm on trail, I'll use warm water and give the bags a good rinse. at home, I clean all of my bags using soap and warm water. The key is to turn them inside out and use a brush to really get them clean. Then I let them air dry before using them again.

I thought that CNOC warned against using those bags for boiling water. Edit: looks like the current ones are beetter: 20°F (-6°C) to 200°F (95°C) - can handle boiling water but we recommend letting them cool a bit to avoid burning.

Saw the edit. Yup, these bags can handle boiling water. CNOC Outdoors created these as a sustainable alternative to using Ziplock Freezer Bags, which is awesome!!

I am obviously doing something wrong. I watch your videos and everything looks so good and easy. I promise myself to try some of the things you show. But, when I pack for a trip, I somehow end up with a can of tuna for every lunch and a can of chili for for every dinner. Afterward, I chide myself for the uninspired meals and promise to try some of the meals you show, But ... Help me out of this rut!

Just keep practicing and don't be afraid to try something new when it comes to your backpacking food. I recommend testing out any new backpacking meals at home first before getting out on trail. You don't want to get stuck with a meal you don't like while you're out there. Good luck!

First time here, great video! I'm thinking of using some of these meals around the house for easy after-a-hard-day lite prep meals! I've considered getting a food dehydrator, but for me, a vacuum sealer might be more practical... I wonder if some fruits and veggies like broccoli couldn't be stored for a couple of days in a cool dark place if vacuum sealed? Anyone know if this will work? I'll probably wind up getting both appliances, but I still wonder if vacuum sealing wouldn't be fine under some circumstances, and fresh vegetables out on a long hike or camping trip...sometimes I stay out in the Hoh for....mmm...a legal amount of time, whatever that is..

Carrots, onions, potatoes, peppers, apples, oranges, lemons, limes, parsnips, sweet potatoes and other root veg don’t need to be refrigerated if they will be eaten in several days time. If they wilt, they are still safe to eat. Only if they mold or get soft mushy discolored spots should you not eat them, but with apples and bananas, you can cut out the bad spots and eat the fruit and it will be good. Cheese lasts longer than you’d think, and if it starts to mold, cut off the moldy bits and eat the rest. My family has always done this and no one has ever gotten sick. If you like butter, take ghee with you. It doesn’t ever need refrigerated and would be good to increase calories and you could just take what you need in an empty spice bottle or small plastic jar.

I just wanted to inquire here and maybe get some input. I'm a big proponent of the great value brand. With very few exceptions, I have next to no issues with their stuff. I was totally unaware that great value even made a chicken pouch so I looked those up. As regards a trail meal, I love the chicken and stuffing idea. To me, stovetop stuffing is crack!!! The Walmart website reviews for the great value chicken pouches were just downright negative! At our Walmart here in LA, you can't beat the price of them so I'm willing to just snag one as a taste test and give it a go. Are those great value chicken pouches really that bad or are the online reviewers expectations just too high? There's mention of better name brand chicken pouch options but no name brands were revealed in the comments. Love the meal ideas. .

Back in the day the operative word was "glop" . High calorie, stick to yer ribs mixtures that did the job for pennies. These are a bit more sophisticated. Also "gorp", a high calorie version of basic granola. I met guys that never packed a stove or fuel, just lived on hand foods. But I love a hot meal in the high country. Knorr and Maggi soups were the basis, augmented with dried veg. Now they are harder to find and pretty expensive

Yes, I rehydrated the noodles in a Ziplock freezer bag using my Backpacking Food Cozy. I cook and then dehydrate my pasta at home so it rehydrates faster out on trail with just boiling water.

The problem with cheap fast prep grocery store foods, and even many name brand dehydrated backpacking meals, is that they are so heavily salted I can’t even force myself to eat them. Wish there were more low salt options.

This is a big reason why I've switched to dehydrating and freeze drying my own food. Not only have I been able to expand my own on-trail food menu, but I can make my meals exactly how I want them. And it's so much cheaper to make your own meals!
