    Homemade Hiking Meal - Keto!
    This episode of my homemade hiking meals, is on the keto side, being that my hiking buddy, Ahab, is on the keto diet. The challenge with this homemade hiking meal, was finding a keto-friendly bulk of the meal, being that the bulk of my previous homemade hiking meals were noodles, potatoes, or grain. But right out of the box, I found a great bulk ingredient for the keto hiking meal!
    This homemade hiking meal carries the fat that you need to burn for that keto energy, with only 15 net carbs, but also packs a great flavor. You can eat keto, and still enjoy the meals on the trail!

      Woodson Sanders thank you! I’ve started making all of my recipes as Keto as possible, because eating all that ramen in creating new recipes, was causing me to gain way too much weight!

    Great video! I know some folks who pack ramen, oatmeal, jerky, and nuts for their hiking trips, which is not what I would want if I go along. You have given me some great ideas to start with, as I didn't know some of those dried products existed. Thanks!!

    Great video. I'm new to Keto and freeze dried food. My question is how much water would you put in this and do you cook it right in the bag. Thank you

    • @TrailnameAce
      @TrailnameAce  Před 4 lety +1

      Martin Reilly hi! The amount varies from recipe to recipe, but I generally add just enough to cover the ingredients, then add as the water absorbs.
      I do make my meals directly in the pouch, with near-boiling water.
      The following video is a field-test, that shows how I make my meals on the trail. Thanks!

    I've been on keto for a couple years now but I'm new to backpacking - there aren't a lot of easy and inexpensive keto meal options out there so I figured I would make my own. This video really helped me understand how to start putting meals together, thank you!
    My question for you: I won't be out backpacking super often, probably just once or twice a year - how do you store freeze dried ingredients once the cans are open? Also, could you make up the vacuum sealed meals far in advance, and how would you store those?

    • @TrailnameAce
      @TrailnameAce  Před 5 lety +1

      starlight1234321 if you check out my playlists, I’ve added all of my recipes to them, and I even have one dedicated to Keto friendly options. I should even have one in that playlist to show you how I store them! 😊
      I usually make up a bunch of meals at once, then vacuum seal them for long-term storage... largely so I’m ready to go at a moment’s notice. As for the individual ingredients, I also transfer large amounts to a Foodsaver bag and seal them up with their enclosed oxygen absorbers inside. I’ve had meals hold up well for two years, but they usually don’t last that long. 😄
      Thanks for watching, and enjoy!

    Mountain House is good and I've used it.. however, you might want to check out THRIVE freeze dried meats and foods. I prefer mtn house meals, but I prefer THRIVE ingredients... Chicken with a dash of garlic powder and celery salt with pepper... Hydrate and add Mayo.. Great trail salad.

    How much water do you add? Loved the video

    • @TrailnameAce
      @TrailnameAce  Před 4 lety +1

      morrowt2133 I generally add just enough water to cover the ingredients, then keep an eye on the meal to make sure that the food doesn’t completely absorb the water. If it does, I just add a little more at a time, until everything is hydrated. I’ve added videos to show how I prepare my meals in the field, in my playlists, if you’d like to learn more. Thanks!

    I wanted to see it rehydrated and to know the cost

    • @TrailnameAce
      @TrailnameAce  Před 4 lety +1

      Maddie Floyd the cost varies depending on the market, and specifically which ingredients you go with. I believe this one came in at under $2-3 per meal, which is far less than you’ll spend on commercially-prepared camp meals. You also get the benefit of knowing what is in it, and controlling the sodium content better, because most of the shelf brands have a huge sodium content. And my meals tend to take up far less space in my pack.

    @hydrazi Před 5 lety +2

    Wouldn't it be way cheaper to just get a dehydrator and do these yourself. Just wondering.

    • @TrailnameAce
      @TrailnameAce  Před 5 lety +3

      Matt Crandall there’s a big difference in foods that are dehydrated, versus those that are freeze dried. Dehydrated foods take much longer to rehydrate, and rarely if ever have a fresh taste or consistency. Freeze dried foods rehydrate quickly and, if you come across the right brand, taste and feel fresh! I looked into a freeze drying system, but they start at around $1200... and I can buy a LOT of ingredients for that! 😄
      Thanks for the question, and I hope it helps!

      @@TrailnameAce Just a quick note: According to the Keto and Co website their cauliflower is "Air Dried" which is the same as Dehydrated not Freeze Dried. So you could do it yourself with a dehydrator.

      Michael Mitchell before I started working on specific recipes, I was designing specialty meals for people on special diets, at their request. So I was just looking for ingredients to meet those requirements, while still providing essential nutrients for the trail. So I really only call this one, “Ace’s Keto Pouch.” Boring, I know... being that you’re the first to ask, I’ll let you name it! What would you like to call it?
