always remember this tidbit of info. if you don't eat it at home you won't like it on the trail either. try to keep your menu as close to this motto and you will eat well. Try it before you take it you will thank yourself later.

I have found that ramen noodles go good with all the pre-packaged items around them in the store ie: those little stew cups, minute rice,foil packs of meat or you can also add just about anything else to them that you like. if your hiking with others plan group meals were every one cooks one item and share with all. and dont forget the idahoan brand instant potatoes. unless you need the coffee leave it at home coffee is a diuretic and can dehydrate you over long hot hikes. also until it gets hot there is nothing better than a snickers bar (full size) for an energy bar ( read the labels they are higher than cliffbars in most areas and taste a heck of a lot better. snickers has also come out with there own energy bars now (finally)
