You see, i love mountaineering.
Problem is most of the time i do not know what to bring to eat in my trips, so i end up bringing too much heavy food.
I am looking for the simplest, cheapest way to make long lasting jerky and other foods.
Tell me what do you eat in your country when you hike.

can i come with you?
Only if you're a girl/femboy uwu
Biltong kicks the shit out of jerky, all you need is meat, spices, vinegar and a little box thing to hang it up on with either a fan or good airflow
idk, peanuts and m&ms
t. non-hiker
Have you tried it? What's the taste like?
I discovered biltong yesterday btw. It's pretty cool as you do not need special smoking or drying machines according to the internet. And it can last up to 7 days so i could go backpacking for a week only eating biltong lmao.
craisins/raisins were my goto for ruck marches
do you hike in patagonia op?
When I hike I have ready sandwiches and make eggs and bacon for breakfast.
For historical reasons the default hiking food in the USSR was tushonka, i.e. canned stewed meat. Of course, it's rather ineffective in terms of weight because it's mostly water and fat in a tin can but old school hikers still like it. Sguschonka was also very popular, that's canned sweetened condensed milk. Other than that people also always take grains like buckwheat.
Depends on time and if I have firewood available and if I can fish
If it is an overnighter I mostly bring fresh foods like bread and cheese and sausages and fruits and nuts and chocolate and tea. I eat cold and drink warm tea. I built a mini alcohol stove that fits into my tea cup
For multi days, if you can make a fire it is easy, bring some rice or pasta, spice that up, add some cheese an dried veggies. Bring high caloric snacks like chocolate, marzipan or nuts/almonds.
If you have to carry fuel in, it gets more complicated, use couscous or instant mashed potatoes or instant rice as your carb base, then create menus for which i use self dried vegetables and meats, like mashed potatoes with broccoli & chicken, or couscous with peppers onions, celery and beef. bring some fat, olive oil ist best, but ghee does work just fine. try to supplement as much as you can with fresh vegetables and berries from foraging.
In general it pays to have a dryer/dehydrator for veggies and meats and it really pays to know some basics about foraging edible plants and stuff. Also if you have the opportunity to fish, go for it.
pic related is some meals I packed for a hike trough Island some years ago
I buy date paste by the kilogram from a Turkish store and turn them into energy bars, very calorie rich for it's weight but it's mostly sugars
that looks gross, dude
regarding the picture you posted, is it ready to consume? looks a bit raw in my opinion.
My good sir, are you aware hiking without open camp fires is for cuckolds?
Raw meat.
Raw eggs.
Raw dairy.
You're welcome.
Ok Vanya, you go gather firewood while I pitch the tent.
as a british person a member of a race of people that have endured hardship in every climate on earth i can honestly say that.... actually ive forgotten never mind but always remember britain is better than your country
It sure does but it can taste pretty good if done right. The most common tushonka-dish is "navy-style macaroni" (makarony po-flotski) which is basically pasta with onions and tushonka. Another very common hiking meal would be boiled buckwheat with tushonka. I used to like those when I was a kid.
Nah, it's stewed and canned, it has a shelf-life of several years. It can be eaten cold straight from the can, although it rarely is, see above.
During the initial coronavirus panic buying in spring people two foods were in greatest demand here: tushonka and buckwheat. In the Russian collective consciousness those are the foods stock up on when times get tough.
KATAMARI DO YOUR BEST!
I like cooking for Russians, just make Pizzoccheri, Swiss style buckwheat noodles with potatoes, cabbage, butter and cheese, and they are happy.
We love rosti more.
Tushonka and all that is not really Russian cuisine, it's just the food people eat (ate) in the military/at sea/or out in the wilderness. Also Soviet cuisine is a thing of its own separate and rather different from Russian cuisine. Nowadays people tend to confuse the two.
But that pizzoccheri stuff sounds alright, I gotta admit. I never knew that buckwheat noodles were a traditional dish anywhere outside of East Asia.
It's just SPAM really
And Hunde-Mostbröckli.
I mean for me, it's the horse steak. But you do you.
i thought SPAM had a modest amount of water, this one has meat swimming in it lol
yeah my mums south african so ive had it a lot. It tastes great like extremely meaty meaty but very salty and tough but still fairly moist inside.
You can't beef would probably make you shit out your kidneys. But I'd say bring some.
It lasts a very long time, Im sure its more than 7 days. It was made by the Boers in the great trek when they caravaned for months and they used it a lot during the boer war on commando
Dehydrate and salt EVERYTHING
