HomeWhat are good backpacking foods?
For lightweight food, use food that only requires adding boiling water such as freeze-dried meals (I like Mountain House brand the best!), instant potatoes, couscous, instant rice, instant oatmeal, and granola. This requires less fuel for cooking and can be made and eaten in a ziplock freezer bag so there are no dishes to clean--just zip the bag closed when you're done and pack it out. I like to drink apple cider mix or Stephen's Gourmet Citrus & Spice Wassail because they are good either hot or cold.
For eating while hiking, I like Clif Bars, Corn Nuts, Jerky, M&Ms, etc.
If I am hiking all day and need to keep my energy up, I will eat Hammer Gel during the first hour and any time I need an energy boost. Then I drink a serving of Hammer Perpetuem with one quart of water over the course of an hour or two (I add powered Gatorade Propel to the Perpetuem for flavoring). I will drink three or four servings of Perpetuem over the course of a day. I eat Clif Bars for my lunch. This keeps me going all day.

Food for backpacking? A supermarket.You don't have to pay through the nose for special foods from camping supplies, so long as it's nutritious enough to sustain you.
The best kind of foods to take camping are dehydrated foods that are easy to pack, full of lots of preservatives and simply require water and a pot to boil over the campfire.
It depends on the time and place. If you are going backpacking for a longer period of time, it's probably not a good idea. Or if you are backpacking somewhere hot that's probably not a good idea too.
There aren't any really
Good foods for camping are foods that will not spoil on your trip (if you are camping with a cooler, this includes pretty much anything you eat at home) and foods that are easy to cook at your campsite. If you plan to cook over a fire or a simple backpacking style stove the best foods are foods that can be cooked on a grill, on a stick or in a packet of foil like hot dogs and other meat, marshmallows, baking potatoes, corn and foods that can be boiled like noodles, soups, corn, and veggies. Canned foods that just need to be heated up are good for people who are uncomfortable with cooking in a primitive kitchen. Other good camping foods are foods that don't need to be cooked at all like sandwiches, crackers, chips, and fruit. That said, you really can eat whatever you want when you go camping: the deliciousness of your camping food is restricted only by your own creativity and ability to cook in a primitive kitchen. For a backpacking trip the best foods are non-perishable foods that are lightweight, high in nutrients/calories and use a minimal amount of fuel to prepare. Foods like nuts, dried fruits, beef jerky, powdered soups, pasta, couscous, parboiled rice, and dried veggies. There is advice and good recipes for backpacking at the website in related links. The website is about hiking the Wonderland trail around Mt. Rainier but the meal planning advice works for any backpacking trip.

Backpacking can be a noun or a verb (gerund). Verb: They went backpacking this weekend. Gerund/Noun: Backpacking is a fun activity to do as a family. I'm not sure if it is used as a participle or not. (Because ending in -ing and everything.)
If you are going backpacking, I would not advise frozen foods unless you were hiking in the winter. Even then I would not advise it. Frozen foods are very heavy and when they thaw, they may leak onto your other gear and may spoil. Freeze dried foods are the best for backpacking because they are lighter and take up less space. If you are just going wallking then you will want lightweight foods that offer you energy. Snacks and such.
The places to find travel insurance for backpacking are many and varied. A good place to start would be to try comparison sites, such as Moneysupermarket or Comparethemarket.
I think they're all out backpacking.. lol
you can make damper, which is a type of bread, and you can cook it on the fire, and all you have to do is add flour and water together to get it.
Backpacking is where you hike or travel around with all of your posessions in a backpack on your back. There are several different types of backpacking. My favorite being budget backpacking. It's a wonderful way to experience different cultures and areas. Another use of backpacking is on online video games. It's when you're getting all the kills or points for your team hence "carrying" them across the finish line so-to-speak.
The GP100 is a great revolver, but if you're backpacking in Alaska - where you could be subject to encountering bear - you would definitely much rather have the .454 Casull.
Well, the first step to becoming a backpacker is starting to train. You could start by walking a mile with a backpack full of books or if you are physically able, climbing stairs with a backpack is a good workout. When you have started training, it would be a good time to start buying backpacking equipment. A few things you will need are: a backpacking backpack, tent, backpacking stove and gas, items to cook with, dehydrated food, lightweight non-cotton clothing, and worn-in boots. If you don't know what some of these things are try typing 'backpacking' into you tube and there are several helpful videos there. Planning out your first outing is also very important. Look to see if there is a permit need or if you have to pay to camp overnight on the backpacking trails. Make sure that the trail you choose is the right length and difficultly range for yourself and have at least one hiking buddy incase there is a problem. Good luck in your backpacking adventures.

Foods rich in vitamin A are good for Liver.
The most compact cookware for backpacking are sets similar to the old US Army Mess Kit or the Boy Scout Mess Kit.Modern equivalents can be bought for under 20$ and perform just fine for most needs.
Backpacking is likely to wear them out faster than hiking, but there are many variables. Backpacking puts more weight on the boots. But a hiker is more likely to hit more rugged areas then someone with a heavy pack.
There are ten essentials needed for backpacking, and a long list of extras. What you pack will depend largely on your own personal needs as well as the trip itself, such as where you are planning to go, the terrain, the weather and climate. For a complete list of backpacking essentials, see http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/backpacking-checklist.html .
the best thing to take when you go out on a hike is trail mix. it offers a great blend of protein and the nuts are type of food which keep you full for a long time.
I think it is a shell structure.

Basically yes. You can go hiking without going backpacking but you can't go backpacking without hiking. Give it a try its a load of fun. You need to learn some things first before going it alone. Like what to pack in your backpack for the trip and where you are going.
