I've been going stoveless most of my trips for the past decade; only bring my stove in cold weather when a hot meal can be a morale booster or I need to mail a resupply package where I'm worried about the cheese holding up for weeks in a hot storage. As my cookset only weighs 3oz without the fuel, it doesn't save any weight to leave it home. But I've been getting lazier in camp as I get older and don't want to do anything extra. Summer Sausage, Pepperoni slices, Italian Salami slices, and beef sticks all work well. When I hiked the 104 mile Uinta Highline Trail last summer, I carried 3 pounds of cheddar and 2 pounds of Italian Salami for all my lunches and dinners. For nutrition, I carried some green super food powder that I made into drinks at meal time. Don't forget about carrying fast food out. Hamburgers, burritos, and sandwiches, if they don't have any mayo or sour cream, hold for days due to all the preservatives they have. I've often done 2-3 day trips eating nothing but fast food that I bought on the way to the trailhead. Even cold, it tastes better than most backpacking food. It can be economical if you order off the value menu.

I hear you on being lazier in camp and not wanting to do anything extra. I feel that way too, most nights. I forgot to mention summer sausage and salami in the video, so thanks for bringing that up. One thing about summer sausage, it tastes great cooked over a fire! Although I rarely have fires these days. That's also a great point about fast food, I might start doing a little more of that. I will often pack out some pizza or chicken strips from town. Chicken strips do pretty well for a day or two, especially if it's colder out. A whole 2-3 day trip on just fast food is impressive though!

I have similar view. I look forward to a well-cooked dinner after a long day of hiking. Most of the day is snacking already so for me it's worth it to play kitchen at least in the evening. Possibly oatmeal in the morning, but for sure some instant coffee to start the day. I do respect the no cook no cold soak idea, especially if the hiking pace is faster. It's not necessarily being lazier it's just a different strategy

Bell peppers last a while without refrigeration and are packed with vitamin C. Cut into strips they go well in wraps with cheese spread

Got to respect a guy who is not afraid to smash his baked goods.

One of the ways to prevent critters from getting into your food at your camp site is to eat before you get to camp. For years I have carried a baguette. They store vertically in the pack or carried on the outside of the pack and you tear off a piece of bread. Because of back problems I have had to give up kayak and hiking trips, I'm now limited to bike touring I carry the baguette on the rear rack. Another bread option I like is a dense round country style loaf of bread. Nibbling on cheese and Salty dried meat is a slow burn which prevents you from bonking and you can go meatless at the evening meal. I avoid candy, there is too much of a Spike and Crash. If I'm taking noodles I take egg noodles. My home made egg noodles cook up in 5 min. My drinks of choice are putting a tea bag in my water jug or a adding powdered gigger crystals to my water. Whole powdered milk 28% butter fat really makes a meal special . The go to found world wide is Nestle's brand DIOO I like to carry a non melt farmer's India style cheese called Pannier. I cut the cheese into dice size bites at home and fry them with my favorite spices to nosh on during the day.

I'm with you, bro. 👍🐾🐾🐾🐾🌻

I take everything in snacking style. Eat about every 2 hours. Jerky, bars, trail mix, Wasabi almonds, cheese sticks, etc. I haven't been cooking on the trail since I graduated hs in 04. So yes it works.

@Brianodell1043 - Good selection info. For 2 days after town some vegetables plus fruit may reduce body pain. Risky for me to not add alkaline vegetables during long term endurance hiking.

I agree about cold soaking being totally gross. I too go no cook no cold soak. I like hard boiled eggs (peeled) with salt, salami on sandwich thins, nuts, chips, and those Fit Crunch bars.

I like to combine the best of the three different methods. I don't do dishes when camping. I use the Freezer bag method and I make my meals at home , pack them in freezer bags for later. In camp it's hot water in the bag , stir and let it sit for a few minutes. Then take the bag and have my meal. Clean up is licking the spoon and putting the bag in the trash bag. The 1st emptied zip lock becomes the trash bag. As far as fuel , I use a small titanium wood burning stove ( firebox Gen 2 Nano , 4 oz ) ( Toaks 750mm pot , 3.3 oz ) and fuel is always around since I hammock camp. I like to cold soak my breakfast for convenient sake and it goes well with a hot cup of coffee. For lunches it's neither cold soak or cook but your style of meals. I really like a Tortilla with peanut butter and chopped Spanish Olives ( the green ones with the pimento centers ) The salt from the olives is appreciated here in Florida's heat and humidity. I don't mind the extra time for cooking since I go out there to relax and enjoy being there. I've even been known to spend more the one day in a good camping area. It's a rare occasion if you manage to see another person.

You know what you’re onto something. I dig the loaf of bread approach. I also use the opsaks.

I did my own version of this on the PCT and it worked great. For meat, I like to bring a summer sausage. For cheese, try pecorino romano. It's what the Roman legions ate on the march. A hard and salty cheese -- delicious!

I also have a similar diet without cold soaking, but I eat more nuts and chocolate and try to avoid ultraprocessed foods. Plus, I'm from Europe and here almost every day you walk through some place where you can buy hot food and beer.

Glad there were some helpful ideas here for you! It took me a while to start looking at bread products as a legitimate option, but now I love the idea. Also, packing out some "town food" like leftover pizza, or chickens trips... these last a day or two depending on the temps, and taste great!

I’ve been doing this same exact thing for years. If your budget allows there lots of nice higher quality salty meats and cheeses at Whole Foods that require zero refrigeration. My favorite topper on a wrap or baguette is onion mixed with olive oil and salt and pepper. Also the first day or two you have options. Salad bags, pizza, lots of different options.

Yeah this is the most comfortable way to get in big miles and ditch the stove. I’ve been thinking a lot about this, thanks for showing some new ideas. Food is really hard to go lighter on for me and I’ve been looking at all the ways to just carry meat out there. Unfortunately, from what I can tell the only way to save weight on food is to use dry rice, oats, and other stuff like that cold soaked at either end of the day then just pull out precooked meat and snacks and keep going during the day.

I really like your idea with no stove fuel cookware. I could easily do this. Not into the hot meals. The only thing I would probably take though would be a titanium large cup. Just to heat water over a fire for coffee or tea. Have you ever thought about the granola/fruit freeze dried pouches. Just add water and eat. Mountain House makes a good one.

I foresee this video doing quite well. Great thumb man! Could do without the gagging though 😜 I definitely respect this approach, but I don't know if I could do it. I love the warmth of a cup of coffee or hot chocolate in the morning and at night. But year, it water low areas this would be great.

Thanks great ideas! I've been thinking about going stoveless and I agree cold soaking is not appetizing to me at all. One of the main reasons I would bring a stove was for my coffee. But after listening to a talk by Dr. Barbara Oneal on the effects of caffeine, she says it leaches water and magnesium out of our cells and actually dehydrates us. As a substitute the first thing in the morning is to place a bit of Celtic salt on your tongue and drink about 16 oz of water. I do this whenever I drink on the trail not just mornings. The salt has 92 minerals, so no need for manufactured electrolytes. My main dilemma is about resupply whether going stoveless or not. Sometimes the selection of items I started my hike with are not available at the resupply place. For instance I've never seen sesame sticks at a Dollar General store. And I doubt they have dried strawberries or mangos. But I'm pretty sure they have alternatives like raisins.

Strategically that is a good combo for the types of foods I would crave as well. When I did the one day whitney hike last july, Dry items were the key. I would add perhaps some kind of caffeine for me

I've always cooked on longer hikes and never considered seriously cold soaking or your strategy. I don't particularly like cooking or doing dishes but on the other hand it doesn't take a lot of time either and I do enjoy hot food in the evening. I basically cook as soon as I reach camp - turn on the stove and boil water while setting up my tent or occasionally a tarp. Dinner is basically done when the camp is ready and waiting time is just a couple of minutes (if that) when the food gets cold enough to eat it. I use my pot again next morning and that's somewhat time consuming as I use breakfast cereal and powder milk and it just take some time to eat it, but most of the time is spend getting the tent down and packing. Since I know the next use of the pot is for boiling water again in the evening I don't have to get it super clean. I don't really see why you'd use less water with your strategy. The amount of water I need on a hot (or cold) day is the same regardless if I drink it or if it's part of the food. I actually add more water than the instructions say to my food making most of my suppers soupier than they are supposed to be just to get more variation than just drinking plain water all the time. My strategy is to maximize the percentage of the food that need rehydration as that's water I don't need to carry until I'm going to prepare the food. I don't have a super low base weight though - certainly not ultralight - and don't claim my strategy is better or make my food + cook kit lighter than your food, but I also doubt that you save weight compared to cooking or cold soaking. What I do envy with your strategy is that you avoid the constant hunt for (the right amount of) fuel on town stops - and thanks for an interesting video!

I have a lot of no cook foods backpacking, but I have to go low carb due to diabetes. I bring a 1 pound bag of Pecan Halves (3200 Cal/Pound) and It accounts for 600 of my daily calories for 5 days. I alternate with Walnuts (3000 Cal/Pound). I can eat SPAM (Squirrels Possum And Mice) which are 0 carbs and so is Salami, Pepperoni, Precooked Bacon, & Cheese. Most commercial jerky's have sugar, so read labels. I can also have nut butters. I make a fat bomb by mixing 1/3 Coconut Oil + 2/3 Peanut Butter in a microwave bowl, heat and mix well, then pour back into jar. I switched to meat, cheese, nuts, & eggs at home and that diet lowered my blood sugar back to normal levels. Plus that diet lowered my Cholesterol, Liver Enzymes, and Blood Pressure. I didn't realize how unhealthy carbs were. For a treat, I mix a packet of Jello "No Sugar" Pudding mix with 1/3 cup NIDO in a freezer bag. On trail, add 10oz cold water and stir a couple minutes to get lumps out. Pudding will set up in about 10 minutes. Eat right out of the bag.

Interesting strategy. I love variety, and esp fruit and veg, so this would not be for me.

Have you tried other no-cook items like peanut or other nut butters, instant hummus? Another one I love but is expensive is Packit Gourmet's chicken salads, which are cold soak but intended to be, so they taste good. I will probably keep cooking though.

I have tried this a handful of times and I'm slowly handling it better. I really do miss a nice hot mashed potato or noodles at night, but eliminating the cooking system is pretty darn nice.
