    Thru hikers are fine with this. Though I used a ziploc so I could reuse the bag multiple times. Add some wild garlic too.

        Spoon but I also turned it inside out to lick it clean. More sanitary that way for the next night

        • Normal people think you are joking, but as hiker trash I’ve been doing the same for years and I love it. I usually add some cheese, an olive oil pouch, salt, pepper, and maybe some dehydrated veggies and a cut up summer sausage if I’m really hungry. It makes for an excellent dish.

            Ramen bombs are the best!

            Dont forget that packet of crushed red pepper flakes thats been floating around the bottom of the food bag

        Sure, sure.

        But for a week plus of meals its a lot cheaper. I’d usally bring like one fancy backpacker meal for a 5 day stretch if they had any good ones in town. NO MOUNTAIN HOUSE.

        Plus you can put other stuff in there. Miso soup & ramen, Asian style. Tvp, taco seasoning, some chips if you pass a gas station on a road walk, taco night. Gotta have some variety.
