Fueling Plans
Learn how to fuel for your 16, 22, or multi-day hike. Packing food for a single day, 20 – 25 mile hike is drastically different from a multi-day backpacking plan. It also varies based on your fitness level. You can find a plethora of YouTube videos on how to pack gluten free, vegan etc. but the focus is usually on eating “clean” or too restrictive.
Considering the weight in your backpack, it is very challenging to determine how to pack what. In addition, if you have to pack a bear canister or other specialized items, they limit already limited space in your pack.
