Outdoor Food for All Activities

Whether you’re going on short or long hikes, bike rides, or camping adventures, the need to eat quickly and easily is essential. The type of food you choose depends on the planned activity.

For hikers, weight and pack size are crucial when selecting meals. Freeze-dried outdoor food is often used here. For more demanding trips, such as mountain hikes, you need to carefully plan your meals as hiking in rugged terrain requires a lot of energy. Poor or insufficient food can be dangerous for both you and your group. For shorter trips, soft preserves can also be used, even though they are heavier.

For those camping or staying at a campsite that does not require long hikes, soft preserves can be a great option for outdoor food. They often have more flavor and do not require water to be added during cooking.

No matter what activity you’re doing or what your needs are, a good meal in the outdoors enhances the experience.
 

Soft Preserves or Freeze-Dried Food

Soft preserves are a great alternative for outdoor food if weight is not critical or if you simply want to swap out a freeze-dried meal. They are packaged in pouches that are easy to pack and can be prepared without adding water. In an emergency, they can also be eaten without being heated. Many people also feel they retain their flavor better than freeze-dried food.

Freeze-dried food has two main advantages: it is lightweight and pack-friendly. Simply add water during preparation.
