What’s your favorite meal to cook after a long hike? For me it’s a good roast or some kind of stew. It’s hearty and filling and puts me straight to sleep.
--- 2557420
>>2557408 (OP)
Anyone who carries all the necessary ingredients and equipment to make a stew or roast has never been on a long hike. The correct answer is peanut butter and tortillas
--- 2557425
>>2557420
Yeah okay, bud. If you pack it as the first night’s meal with frozen meat it will be perfectly thawed by the end of day 1. Sorry you only take foods that an autistic child can make.

--- 2557437

Usually about 15 miles. Most of the time I do 3-4 day hikes.

>>2557408 (OP)
I like picrel as a meal or as a base with chorizo and rice/bread. 25 portions of hearty mushroom soup in a small tub
Lots of instant noodles (the good asian brands, i love em)
Tins of spicy macrel/sardines on fire toast
Fruit
Peanuts/chocolate raisins for energy
Rabbits or fish that I catch
Can carry butter without it spoiling, at reasonable temps. Definitely a nice addition
Teas/coffee/energy drinks
Small plastic bottle of whiskey/jaegermeister for a nightcap

I grab some fresh foods on the way out like ready-made sandwiches/pies for the first evening, to conserve my packed goods. With the listed supplies I can happily do 2-5 nights. There isn't much point in overthinking it unless you're heading out into serious wilderness.

These are the people who don’t hike. Some of them prioritize camping (which is fine), and some have never been outside. Most of their opinions are shit.
--- 2557847
>>2557845
I hike. Stop the gatekeeping.
--- 2557854
One of the best ways to hike (or camp, idgaf) is to bring awesome food mostly pre-prepped. I'll fill a 40 oz Nalgene with stew and bring a home baked loaf of french bread and some butter for the first night, that's the buena vida niggas. My old lady makes the bombest of burritos in every flavor, or quiche, or anything else that's heavy on fat that you crave after putting in some vert. Freeze the filling and bring the torts seperate.
Before you malign my ability to make distance carrying heavy shit, I'm tall and 240 lbs, I could carry most of you twinks in my fanny pack, if I had one.
If distance is your measure of grit, then cut your toothbrush in half and subsist on dried pig dicks and Tang, more power to you. You'll never see us, off-piste bushwhacking to the ultimate sites you'll never see while you're head down trying to get somewhere in a hurry. Check your strava again, you're almost on pace for thirteenth place.

--- 2557863
Quality of terrain & destination > distance, although they are often related. 
I live near one of the clusterfuck capitals of the outdoors yet somehow we don't see anyone for days after leaving the TH. 
Pic related, didn't see a single person the whole day. No tracks, the first ones in that area this spring. 
We ate tuna sammiches, pepperoni, cheese and crackers and drank the snowmelt unfiltered, it was delicious.
--- 2557866

>>2557863
It’s true everywhere. I took a trip to Zion years ago and the Disney Words comparisons are true until you get a few hours from the trailheads. The buses that run through the park were so packed we had to wait for a second one. It was peak season and it was to be expected, and we saw a few people on the trail but it was really shocking how few. The same for Great Smoky Mountain NP last year. Clingman’s Dome lives up to the “expectation/reality/ meme, and that where I parked. But for four days I saw like 4 groups of people, and all of them were on the AT section.

Either rice balls or something sturdy enough to be carried around all day at room temperature. Bringing some stew is cool, but really just give me water and a few basic survival snacks and I'll catch the rest maybe trout or salmon, or perhaps a turkey if I'm very lucky

Stew is made in heaps of ways. You can literally make a stew in a jetboil or a kidney cup, stew doesn't have to be an all day 5 person meal cooked in a massive fuck off cast iron pot. You can even buy it in bags, just warm it up and you're ready to go.

i dont believe you. I usually take some kind of frozen meat like sausages and buns for the first day. the idea that someone is carrying around a roast, potatoes and carrots and broth which are extremely calorie light to weight ratio is laughable. Do you take your microwave and car battery too? Just say you day hike and cook it at home, its fine.
--- 2559817

Day hikes with the cast iron are actually fun. You get get there in the morning, spend the entire day at your site screwing around and cooking a delicious stew, and then clean up and go home once the sun starts to set. A perfect day. I don't get why /out/casts try to act all tough like you're somehow "cheating" or a fraud unless you spend 15 days straight in the wilderness with nothing but a 15 pound pack, living off dehydrated meals and filtered swamp water.

Irrelevant. I was responding to the post that I quoted, not OP. OP never even said anything about cast iron. You just made a dumb assumption based on his cozy picture.
--- 2560479

Learn to read. OP asks favorite for meal to cook after a long hike. Start your own thread if you want to bitch about distance elitism. Which is both real and completely valid by the way.
--- 2560528
>>2560164
Yes, you responded to a post about hiking, which was referencing the OP, which is about hiking. I never said anything about cast iron either.

Seriously bruh, get the fuck out.
--- 2560536
Goulash, if i'm staying a couple of days i do a proper one in a stove pot but if i am on a day trip i usually bring one with some bread. its glorious.

You clearly aren't capable of following the conversation in that case, since my critique was directed specifically at the post I was quoting. If you don't want to be mistaken for someone else, then don't white knight their posts as if they're your own.
--- 2560607
>>2560603
Again, the post you were quoting was about hiking, as it followed what the OP was talking about. You’re the one who can’t follow the conversation. The topic, for the third time, is hiking. Not car camping.
--- 2560610
>>2560607
I never said anything about car camping. You can go for a short dayhike with cast iron, especially if you're in a group. I've done it.
--- 2560624
>muh dikstance
You rule makers are a bunch of fags, and you're probably short. 
Are we allowed to carry tall cans 4000 vert in five miles, if it's the first night? I don't even like beer that much but I'll carry some for my girl just to feel the weight drop off.
--- 2560625
I don't see many pics you city niggers.
How bout a slab of HAM and a fat chaw after 3.5 miles of bushwhacking? Is that allowed?

Here's something good to bring, make a bunch of these. They'll keep for a couple days without freezing.

Its possible that some people have physically trained themselves to be a pack mule by routinely carrying heavy bags. That person is not moving any faster going ultralite.

Me and my brother have a tradition going back to the 90s. We would spend a week or two camping in the White Mountains and would do one big hike or maybe two small hikes, and always return to the cozy campground after to recover. 4 days huffing ass across the Presidentials? Stop at MackDonalds on the way home. 1 day huffing ass up to Glen Boulder and Mt Isolattion? Stop at MackDonalds on the way home.

I'm sure plenty of people have enjoid McDicks as much as me and my bro over the last 25yrs, but nobody has enjoid it more.

Sorry for the blogpost and the boring answer but for me, it'll always be that calorie dump as my favorite post-/out/ meal.

Speaking as someone who was a security guard (lots of walking) up until last month? Luncheon meat mixed into white rice or macaroni and cheese, lentil mash with dried veggies, corned beef mixed into white rice, canned fish in fideo noodles, tortillas topped with canned ham and ez-cheese or with trail mix and peanut butter. These are things I could pile into a backpack-sized sterilite and carry into nowhere for a week.

Humanitarian Daily Rations are very cheap now. Fifty bucks for a case of ten. Two of those is a weeks' worth of food if you stretch it.

Going to grab more Knorr packets today. You can use powdered nobfat milk and cooking oil in place of lowfat milk and butter. Could probably use canned chicken in those. Have to brown it first...
