For me its Salami, Cheese and wraps. It has been my on trail lunch for years now and it always just tastes sooo fucking good.

The song caught me by surprise. That was spectacular. Somebody get this man some sponsors.

It's always so fascinating seeing what others eat on the trail! (: If you're not planning on it already, can you do a video on how you started/prepared/worked up the courage to go on all these remote, long-distance trails solo?

Start smaller. See if there are national parks in your area, or just marked, easy trails that you can hike over one or two days and spend a night sleeping outside. That way you can test your gear, and get a feel for what you are missing.

Just finished my first backpacking trip, about 40 miles, up a mountain pass and then back down over 4 days. Went with more experienced friends. We had trail mix, which I largely neglected. I think I would eat a more savory/spicy trail mix. One of my friends packed me unsalted nuts for trail mix which was personally difficult for me to consume frequently. Ate a cliff bar every day, which was good for energy but doesn’t really satiate hunger completely. Also had these chocolate/nut bars, also low sodium. I ended up getting quite sick the first two nights, I think in large part because I didn’t consume enough sodium and calories. We had slim Jim’s of a different brand. Beef jerky would also have been great, although it’s pricier. My other friend brought me flavored tuna and chicken salad in these little sealed pouches that we squeezed onto these large crackers to eat like a sandwich. I loved eating these. It’s important to eat enough calories, and though he says anything will taste good when you’re hungry and tired enough, your body can get depleted before you get to that stage. So for me, I found food that’s salty, satiating, satisfying, taste good etc. is very important. I only packed 3 tuna pouches, so one day I had to go without it, and I definitely missed it. Same friend brought salami, cheese, and triscuits, which was great. We also had cheez-its which were great. For dinner: First night was Ramen. It certainly taste good at the end of the day, but be sure you’re getting enough calories. The first night, I was very sick and it wasn’t going down easy. I think it took me like 3 hours to eat-not exaggerating. I would have just gone to sleep, but my friends had me sit and finish it along with a powdered Gatorade drink. Second night was mac’n’cheese. Again, this would have tasted great at the end of the night, but I was sick again. Plus, one of my friends poured some salmon from a sealed pouch into my mac’n’cheese which made it even harder to consume. I ate less than half of what they gave me before I refused to eat more and went to bed. Third and final night I actually felt good. We had Ramen again, but added dehydrated potatoes, peanut butter, and siratcha. It looked kinda gross, but it tasted great and felt good and filling. Things I would do next time: -hot breakfast like oats -i think more peanut butter would be good. Peanut butter crackers, those peanut butter pretzel bites, something like that. I think adding pb to many things can make it more calorie dense-certainly worked well with the siratcha to make the ramen great and calorie dense. -savory/spicy/salty trail mix -maybe beef jerky and dried mango if I feel like spending -cheese, salami, crackers (bring my own) -pack bigger lunches: i would have done two of the tuna pouches/day for me. I was always hungry after one and depleted by the end of the day. Everyone is different. Not everyone cares about taste as much as I do. One of my friends was fairly content to eat trail mix for lunch. But for my next trip, I want all my food to have flavor. I want to be excited about eating.

I really appreciate this video. So many of the hiking channels that I watch seem to ignore food, making it seem like all you can eat on a trail is oatmeal, instant meals, and junk. As simple and strange as it is - seeing fruit, sausage, and cheese is refreshing.

That is because if you are walking for more than a few days most food will spoil or is too bulky, heavy or inefficient in terms of energy. Dehydrated food and nuts, rice, oats, pasta, dried fruit, chocolate, tuna/salmon in pouches will last and provides the energy you need. I use chili sauce, dried parmesan to pep things up.

person X Yeah, I don’t think conforming is to some standard of health or “good food” is so important when you’re hiking everyday. Your food is going to have to deviate some from what you normally eat. Apples, for example, aren’t particularly dense in calories or nutrition, and they are fairly heavy and spacious. We put our food in bear canisters (California) over night do you have to be weary of space. But an apple on day one would be great.

Hey Kraig, first off love your videos! Secondly, based on what I've learned from a recent class on Exercise Science, the two main sources of fuel to the muscles during exercise are carbohydrates and fats. In particular, during steady state lower intensity exercise (i.e. hiking), your main source of fuel is fat, whereas higher intensity exercise uses carbohydrates more. So it's great to see you pack a lot of higher fat foods in there (i.e. nuts) and a great breakfast for you would be oats, fruit, and nuts/peanutbutter so you've got a good amount of both sources. And of course, protein, in particular at the end of the day, is important in recovery.

Did the song get copyright flagged because of the tune? It's just silent now haha

Hey Kraig, I was watching your videos and thought of an interesting suggestion. If you included a little text on the corner of the video whenever a new day started or reached a certain milestone in that journey, that might be pretty cool to help people have a rough timeline of your journeys. Understandably you want to keep your videos as unobtrusive or interruption free, this might be an interesting idea to toy with.

Thank you so much for making these videos. I live in Arizona and I'm taking steps to get out for my first overnight backpacking trip in September 2020, I've watched a lot of your videos and I've learned so much. Thank you for making my first experience a little more comfortable and prepped!

Loved all your Hikes especially Nepal and seeing your dog friend ghost🤗 thanks for sharing your amazing adventures! You inspire me!

Terrific hiking vibes and inspiration here! It’s great to learn more about your hiking experiences in this video. Looking forward to more fresh content in the months ahead 🙌💯⛰🌿

That was a truly epic musical sequence. You a legend, Kraig!

Dhal bat power 24 hour. Love how you worked that into the song. Brought back memories of my time in Nepal last year! Keep up the good work! love your channel and looking forward to more content of grand vistas and dogs.

I’d be interested to hear you talk about how you got into doing all this “minimalist” way of life and just traveling everywhere. Thanks, love your channel

You're my inspiration when it comes to hiking! I've uploaded a hiking video inspired by you. I've never really done it more than a day. Now it feels so much easier to do it. Food is definitely something one has to prepare for.

Thank you for sharing your experience and advice!!!

Man, your videos are so motivational for me. Something I want to do in life is just try food from places around the world, and there was something so peaceful about this video. These videos seriously motivate me to do better so I can hopefully do what you are doing.

That song is just gold 💛 My favorite food for hikes is couscous (cold or hot soaked) with chopped cherry tomatoes, cucumber, (spring) onions, dried dill or mint, salt, pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, chili flakes and feta cheese (or vegan feta, whatever I get my hands on). It's possible to do a lot of variations of this dish, so it's never boring. I need the freshness, it gives me an energy boost.

Hi! I discover you channel yesterday, and can’t stop watching your videos! Very well made! Next week I definitely go hiking.

Kraig, the song at the end is amazing! I laughed so hard when you sang about the tuna ramen

Can we just take a moment and appreciate the amount of beautiful compositions in Kraig`s videos. So magnificient! Thanks for quality content!

Love watching your videos! My wife and I are just getting into backpacking. Still investigating what foods are the best. We have tried mountain house meals but I find them to bee too salty and/or over seasoned. I think the rice, noodles, and crackers are great ideas. We also like to carry dried meat and nuts. You might like Dukes smoked shorty sausage because you can quickly snag one from the bag with out having to cut into a big summer sausage. I also like Tuna packets and they do not require refrigeration. We are still exploring our food options but I can't believe I forgot top Roman.... seems like a no brainer! Thanks for your videos, I've been watching you since your wedding video days, seems so long ago! Glad you're doing something you love, I looking to exit the wedding/real estate video arena, I started my youtube channel but not sure If want to be a drone/camera review guy, Ideally I just wanna make beautiful videos and hike and see the world. I guess its no wonder why I love watching your channel before bed - soothing, relaxing, and helps me dream of better times. Thanks Kraig!

Dude, your perspective and outlook on travel is so ridiculously beyond your years.

"You don't little mouse... mice........ mouses..." 😂 best example of the human CPU throttling after a hard day. Great content, Kraig, I subscribed just last year and have never missed a video. Love the aesthetic cinematography and man, I love the method in which you promote backpacking/hiking. It's like, five birds with one stone. 1. You get to be in the most beautiful nature. 2. You get to meet all kinds of people. 3. You're forced to adapt to specific situations. 4. You can travel the world fairly inexpensively. 5. Most importantly, EVERYDAY IS LEG DAY (oh and cardio).

Great as always, love all your content, IG, YT, PODS

I like prepping my dried food meals. They're custom and so good!

I always like to have coffee on top of a mountain or having a local coffee or try to eat local foods in a certain country! :) nice one Kraig!

This was super helpful for a newbie hiker like myself! Thanks Kraig

I would hit the bakery first thing in the morning daily and any pop up stand that I saw for dried salami, I also carried Brasserie Du Mont Blanc beer that had the resealable flip top caps in my pack. The huts are expensive for food and drink, but it is still awesome that you can be out in the middle of nowhere and at altitude, then having the ability to get what you need.

Been listening to your podcast recently, great stuff.

You inspire me to travel and hike:)

My favorite hiking or canoeing food is basically everything you mentioned plus fresh fish when canoeing. Except for the Meals to go , never had them since I like to make my own Meals. For breaks ( Especially in the summer ) I like a Tortilla with Peanut butter and some Green Spanish olives all rolled up. Grain , protein and salt from the olives. Any time I can get a good fresh salad ( Salad bars are great ) it's at the top of my list. 1st night out ( when possible ) is always a Steak and a adult beverage.

Kraig you are simply just THE BEST! You motivate me and your filming and just the whole package of content is simply amazing, you know what you want and how to reach your audience. Keep it up man! (srry for my English). Cheers!

Here in Czech Repubic there's something called Tatranky. It's just a chocolate hazelnut wafer cookie, but it's like the national hiking food, there's always a picture of mountains or hikers on the packaging. It made me think of it when you were talking about packing Twix bars, it doesn't matter how nutritionally dense it is sometimes you just need something sweet and nice!

Kraig I really think you should sing more often. It really filled my heart to hear your melodious tenor performance. And yes I'm finally thrilled to see you realized that Epic Bars really are in fact trash. I bought about a dozen to take on a trip to Nigeria. That first night I realized the poor choice I made.

i really recommend premixing milk powder with your favorite cereal. you only have to add a bit boiling water to get a super high caloric tasty breakfast. You need to find good milk powder though, the stuff the hiking companies sell is usually expensive and doesn't taste good. in Germany where i live i always order from backstars.

so nice. I want to go hiking.

Cheese, crisp bread , mixed nuts, raw oats, coconut flakes, dried fruit. Packs of Ramen. A MSR salt and pepper capsule with mixed herbs and chilli for flavour . These are my go to’s . Get fresh veg and fruit on the day where possible for the next 24 hours. Tortillas for wraps keep well . Agree with kraig it’s good to mix up between backpack food with cafes etc where possible . If it’s cold regular hot drinks and a raw / protein bar between meals . Cous cous (bulgar wheat ) easy to prepare or cold soak . Goes with everything . Learn from other hikers , comb the health food shops and discount shops for dried packet food alternatives to the expensive hiker meals but watch out for those bad ingredients. Eat local . What’s good around you. I have always felt that eating and drinking is a huge part of tent life and hiking . It’s the time to be slow , plan and contemplate and reflect on the whole experience . Kraigs right about anything’s good when your tired and hungry !

Love your vids and been following for a while now, do you mind me asking what kind of water filter do you use on your hikes?

Lovin these vlogs kraig keep up the hard work 👌👌👌

Food for the soul, your videos are food for the soul 😭😭

Thank you nice video

that nepalese food looks divine!🌟 great video!

hey, great content keep it up. more ideas for hiking food- milk powder for coffee and morning oats. you can crush the ramen pack while closed, open the bag, season with the packet that comes with it and eat it dry like chips. also about ramen-tuna: try it dry, same way with crushing it first than adding the tuna, i found it to be delicious. raw garlic is great for high altitudes. some veg and fruit last longer than others like carrots so i'd add those to my meal of ramen, tuna or crackers with cheese/ sausage to have at least some sort of veg.

Eating and food is my FVORITE part about hiking. There's a reason why they call me "The Hungry Hiker." Fancy cheese, crackers and salami is one of my all-time favorite meals on trail and requires zero cooking. I got super hungry watching your video. Hahaha!!

my fav backpacking diner : put some basmati rice, dried chives (you can buy those in bulk stores), dried mushrooms, some salt and pepper all in a ziploc. On the trail add recommended water for the rice cook it, then add couple of spoons of powdered milk once its cooked through. its my backpacking risotto, super cheap and tastes absolutely heavenly with the creaminess and mushroom taste :)

Pro bar is something I used a lot, went to philmont scout ranch last year and saw those everywhere
