Backpacking Food
I am off to the Lake District with friends tomorrow for an overnight wild camp. The following is the backpacking food I will be taking.
As we are planning to wild camp where this is no water available, it means that all the water I think I will need I will have to carry in. This menu is designed reduce my water needs to drinks only – no dehydrated food. I am planning to carry 2l of water up into the hills.
The plan is to day hike, on Saturday, down to one of the lakes. Then go back to the car, restock with water, pick up our main packs and head off to our camp site later in the afternoon.
Lunch Saturday
Extra to this I am going to buy a Sausage Pie from the village shop when we leave and add a banana. The plastic bag is for the rubbish and the “hint of lemon” is a hand wipe.
Saturday Dinner
The bread is Warburtons Brown Sandwich Thins, which are pre-sliced. I shall probably eat the granola bar with my first mug of tea at the campsite before the tent goes up.
Sunday Breakfast
Extra Food
Just in case I am a bit more hungry than I expect – I am planning to have the chocolate breakfast biscuits with my early morning tea, whilst I am still in my sleeping bag, admiring the view.
Drinks and extras
The small Nalgene bottle contains dry milk powder. The Chrysanthemen Honey Tea, which I get from a local Asian Supermarket, can be dissolved in either hot or cold water.
There are two items not shown:
I have a 60ml Nalgene bottle of fresh ground Costa Coffee and I my Brew Kit.
Why “Star Wars”?
Sunday is May the Fourth.
