Fuel saving tip, cold soak your meal with half the water requirement while you hike. For dinner boil the other half (usually 1 cup), pour the boiling water into the cold soaked meal to warm it up. This takes considerably less fuel.
That is a good tip
Dixie and her Ray-men noodles 😂
Is that not how it is pronounced?
Jason - Ra-Men
@@GastoniaJack Raw-men might be easier to decipher, cheers!
Might be a southern thing because I grew up in Alabama /Georgia and we also pronounced it RAY-men. I learned RAH-men when I went to college.
beeroux you now you’re in the south when someone says raw-men noodles
one of my close friends is a nutritionist who makes all her food for the trail from whole foods! she calculates calories and nutrients and emphasizes nutrients that help with energy and recovery. it’s amazing what she does and i’ve been bugging her to start a blog or a website or write a book for ages!
Yes, that would be great. Maybe you could ask her for one recipe at a time and put them together:)
Any updates re a blog or yt channel? Please tell her enquiring minds want to know :)
There are some backpacking recipe books out there. We have one, I don’t remember the name. I’d love it if your friend wrote another! We have dehydrated a lot of things, lol.
Can't you just carry suppliments? I lm not hating just a genuine question
@@misham6547 you can, and many people do, but eating Twinkies and taking vitamins obviously isn’t the same as eating real food. Eating as much real food as you can is always best.
Early on in my thru hike I tried lots of creative things like that, then I got lazy about making complicated meals while hiking. Then I made a fabulous discovery. One night I was cooking my Pasta Sides alfredo, and after running out of tuna and chicken, all I had left was a pouch of Spam...And voila! Spam Alfredo was born and was my favorite trail dinner for many months.
Yup, since I discovered SPAM Singles Packets at Wal-Mart, I mix them with instant mashed potatoes for lunch at work every week. SPAM is amazing.
Next video: how to wash a cheesy pot while on the trail.
You wash your pots while on the trail?
I've been testing out camping meals with my new dehydrator for the last couple months...and cheese has proven to be the most difficult ingredient to clean from my camp pot. I think cooking/rehydrating in a seal-able silicone cup could be a lightweight option that might be easier to clean than a pot.
Thanks for the great content. I concur with other viewers: curious to see a video for “on trail dishwashing”.
Stay safe and healthy!
easy, dry wash it with dirt. Please note that this works best when the food is wet. Put dry powdery dirt into the pot and move around with your hand working it into the remaining food. Dump it out. continue until there is no food remaining in the pot only a thin layer of dust. Rince pot in water and leave to dry.
@@ericericson192 I learned that in Boy Scouts and used that process in the Army. Works great!
Dear Jessica,
I just finished watching your through hike of the PCT and yesterday I was fortunate to watch your through hike on the Camino de Santago. I want to say thank you. Thank you for the beautiful person you truely are. Little things of saving little lives of insects, your funny, funny original and special sense of humour caught me with deep gratitude and love. I have been hiking for a few years in Australia but nothing like what you do. You really inspire me to take my hiking to another level. Thank you for your honesty and sweetness. May you be truely happy,
umesh.
Keep up the good spirits! Whether you're on the trail or off the trail, I'm still watching. You spread a lot of joy. Thanks for what you do.
Love hearing from you! Literally just got done watching your AT journey!
Thank you Dixie I will actually use these! I’m so glad you shared.
Love you for this, I have fired up my dehydrator lately and have been testing them with straight cook and cold soak cook.
Thank you for another good video. I love watching them. Great recipes to try. You have helped inspire me to start my own channel to capture your Backpacking trips. Thank you for that. I wish I would have started sooner!!
I LOVE watching people cook, even trail food. But I've had some great stuff from Harmony House myself.
The Alpine Pasta looked the yummiest to me!
Great to see you Dixie!
~Allie
To keep from burning pasta or rice in a pot, I made a heat diffuser out of a can lid, cut off with a side can opener so it had smooth sides. Then drill three holes and added 3 #10 screws, nuts, and lock washers. Put the diffuser on the stove pot stand and the heat radiates through the can lid onto the cook pot without burning the rice.
Mike N - do you have the screw side on top, so the pot sits on them, or the other way around?
@@nancyrogge796 I have the nut side on top and I used a grinder stone on my drill to file the screw even with the nut. Stainless steel screws are soft and file down quickly.
Maybe i can pay you to make me one lol
I need to try these! Thanks for sharing!
Thai Peanut Noodles: Packet of chili flavored ramen, two Tbsp crunchy PB, packet of True Lime, fresh or dried cilantro, and a protein such as sweet and spicy or Thai tuna or butterball Thai flavored turkey jerky. You can really put this over the top by carefully toasting some extra crushed ramen as a final topping. Also a great tramily meal that can be served in tortillas. Looking forward to meeting you at the fall ALDHA Gathering👊
I like those meals. It turns out that time in the woods and in the sun may help fight off the virus. Our skin, in sunlight, produces vitamin D which has shown to fight respiratory infections. A study in Japan showed that a 2 mile walk in the woods can give a boost to your immunity for a week. Get outside and be active, even if it's just mowing the lawn and gardening. Good Luck to Us All, Rick
Richard Ross czcams.com/video/PgDjVEpEOdQ/video.html here’s the study
Keep up the great work. I've been backpacking for 20+ years and really enjoy the videos - appreciate the fresh perspectives and ideas - thank you!
Good recipe ideas! This is def a good time to work on skills from home.
Hi, Dixie. Thank you for your brightside view. You're definitely an inspiring person. I'm using this time to improve my camping gear for more lightweight. Trying new recipes for stove cooking with a pot cozy (thank you for this tut, it works great).
Big love from Russia
Great video and great information as usual Dixie. Thank you!
Thank you Dixie! your videos keep me going during this craziness!
Wow, thanks for great ideas and demonstration.
This is a great video and perfect to try some new things during this weird time! So glad you tried out the Alpine Pasta, and yes I forgot to mention, I have added dried spinach and even mushrooms before. It's kind of easy to customize how you like! We will be adding it back into our meals this year after a couple year hiatus.
jsf898s Thank you!!
Last summer on the PCT we did shepards pie just like this only we didn't use cheese. We used powdered butter. Everything else is nearly identical. Another item we did was scrambled eggs for breakfast. The OvaEasy eggs work well. We just cooked them up with chives and bacon bits. Just be careful to use low heat and stir often, or if you have two pans, do a double boiler. Speaking of bacon. There is pre-cooked bacon that needs no refrigeration so all you do is take it and as long as you eat the packet you open on the same day or so, you are good.
That logo placement! 🔥🔥
Ha! I had missed it again, but it was worth replaying :)
Glad I'm not the only one who notices. Aaron gets creative. I asked him in some other video this week to put together a video of his favorites.
This was helpful.
Thanks for this.
Thank you! I appreciate the videos! ❤😊
Those look really delicious outside the trail lol. I'll have to try them!
Great topic and ideas Dixie. An idea to extend Mountain House meals to make 2 dinners is to just add Instant Potatoes to half of the bag.
Thank you for keeping my spirits up. Please take care of yourself too while we all endure this ❤️❤️❤️
Fake Pizza, cooked on the John Muir Trail when 3 hungry backpackers randomly came together for lunch, with a hodgepodge of ingredients:
Place your frying pan on top of canister stove, drop in a corn tortilla, add cut up cheese. When the cheese is melted, add pepperonis and several generous splashes of Tobasco. Tasted excellent at 9,000 feet in late August.
Sounds great I will have to try them before my next hike. I miss the woods bad. I might have to sneak out and hit the trail for a day hike and try out one of these. Thanks Dixie.
thanks for this. Really helpful!
Really loved the video! Would love to see more recipe videos.
For the Shepard’s pie I made my own mashed potatoes by cooking the potatoes in beef stock. After I dehydrated them I ground them so it would turn into mashed potatoes when rehydrated. I also added mushrooms that I sautéd in beef broth and then dehydrated. I didn’t need to add another packet of seasoning. It tasted wonderful.
Love your videos.. tonne of great information.. thanks so much!
I love all your videos and your accent is such the cutest. Keep it up Dixie. Love you bunches 😘💛✨
Looks like awesome meals Dixie. Might try them at home too
Enjoyed this a great deal! I needed fresh inspiration
So awesome Dixie. Monica has had the dehydrator going 24/7 getting ready for our next thruhike. :)
I looove shepherd's pie, definitely gonna keep that one in mind! looks delicious!
Awesome ideas… I’m gonna try them all!!!
Always find it interesting re: different approached to backpacking food, Yours looked good! Here in the UK where camp fires aren’t generally possible, we have a cautious approach to fuel use and tend to opt for dehydrating home cooked whole meals and then rehydrating and pot-cosying on our walk. Ps what we call shepherd’s pie is made with lamb mince; cottage pie with beef mince. Another across the pond difference 🙂
OH IM so hungry!. I love these please make more!
Sheppard's pie, going to do that on trail this weekend.
All this makes me want to be on the trails even more
We feel your pain Dixie. Was lookin forward to the hiker conference and some quality time on the Pinhoti also. We'll get there directly I reckon. Thanks for the video and sweet hiker dreams.
It really helps me to know i'm not the only one having Cabin fever these days... good suggestion to use this time to try to make a future hike better. Many thanks from Canada,
I've been watching for a while. Subscribed today. I love your positivity.
Yum...thanks
Fun video.
Now I'm hungry.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for mentioning some vegan options. Some vegan foods I like to take camping (not necessarily backpacking) are Soon brand veggie flavored noodles which I can find at ralphs and food for less. they come in a cup of noodle style packaging. you can also find them in baggie form like top ramen at some Asian markets. Knorr veggie soup with a can of lentils are also really good. I mainly eat some kind of bean or legume and junk food lol. I believe Knorr also has a Spanish rice side meal which is also vegan.
Oh-yea boy!!! A true woman after my own heart! I've found some great things at the Oriental stores such as dried seaweed, kelp, and squid or if you prefer, calamari. They also have things like truffles, mushrooms, and spices. You may also find a great little bamboo steaming basket that serves as a really good pot huggy and a lightweight cook kit stowaway.
I've found, country ham and instant oatmeal/ grits is a good breakfast that will keep you going right threw to lunchtime. Chipped beef and gravy mix over an English muffin is a hikers true S.O.S. friend and doesn't use a lot of fuel. Scalloped potato mix is a lite add-in for many dish enhancers.
Spot on Miss Dixie. Love you love your channel! I know I'm about to go nuts to hit the trail because I can't find anyone to take me to the A/T and at least slowdown and throw me out for a week or two.LOL!
I live near Yorktown Va. and that's about 300 miles+/- from Crabtree falls and I can't get any info when the park service is going to reopen the trailheads. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Live, Love, Repeat!
Awesome thanks for these
They sound awesome!!!
Hope you’re staying well & safe Dixie!
Those look delicious! Thanks for sharing! I really need to get some dehydrated meat 😋
Those look really good!
Frickin love the videos
Awesome. Please more recipes.
I like the trail shepherds pie recipe 👏👍😋 ! That looks so so good 👍. I will DEFINITELY try this out 😉😊! Thank you for posting this 👏!
Love the Shepard's Pie recipe idea. Already have all of the stuff - time to test it out.
You're making me homesick for west Georgia!
I've been sleeping on my uberlite and eating hiking food because I'm depressed lol. Thanks for the new video
I totally understand.
Hear ya.
Been doing this too!! Thought I was being weird, it's so super reassuring to hear others are doing the same. It feels comforting to use my gear while in quarantine.
Just slept on my mat last night on the floor of my room. I feel way better but man, I miss the trail!
Those knorr sides are pretty good, especially for the price. A couple simple ingredients added makes them that much better!
My Wife asked me if id sent ya the taco ramon recipe lol. That almost exactly how i make it to eat at home cept i mix my own spices and tend to make it a little to spicy at times.As for adding corn chips to it, ease back on the spices a bit and use BBQ corn chips or honey mustard. Really adds depth to the recipe for me.
Can't wait to try :)
Thanks Dixie.
Good video.
I watch you through all of your hiking and loved it! When the algorithm brought you up today it was stupid crazy. Like kitty cats playing dice! And more. So I simply went to subscriptions and found your latest.
Thank you DIXIE! A few of us are going to hike a section of the AT in a few weeks. This adventure is new to us. Your videos have made the preparation so much more exciting!!! Gina in lights
Nice...Thks Dixie
Dixie, on the revolutionary original MSR stove (way before you were born(g)) there was no "simmer" either. MSR's simple solution was to supply an extra tin can lid, which you place on top of the burner, then place the pot on top of that. Same thing will work for alky stoves. One or two lids, to diffuse the heat.
I’ve done a shepherd’s pie too. Never added cheese though. Like that you can easily modify it so you can really mix it up and get some variety. I can take one meal using onion gravy and another one adding dehydrated peppers, on and on.
Kevin outdoors has some interesting dehydrated camping recipes.
Kevin makes the best backcountry meals!
Dandelion root coffee:
Dig up and clean the roots
Dice to a consistent size, about the size of coffee beans
Roast in a frying pan until the centers are firm and crunchy.
Grind and brew like normal coffee, but with about 40% more grounds than real coffee.
Enjoy!
It takes quite a while to harvest and make, so it is good to make a bunch of "beans" all at once. The whole dandelion plant is edible and is best as a soup.
Homemade Wanderchow
That shepherd's pie though! Yum
wow. that’s amazing. I normally carb load in the morning only with organic hulled millet. for lunch/dinner, I eat dehydrated pasture raised eggs, 100% grass-fed beef, wild caught sockeye, wild caught sardines, gelatin and a lot of cheese. I tend to add a lot ghee and a lot of Irish butter to add more calories. If I need more calories, I will have peanut butter with flaxseed oil or sometimes 100% grass-fed beef tallow. I don’t have variety at all. If I get bored what I am eating, I skip a meal or skip eating for the day.
I make a lot of homemade meals for the trail. I would gladly share any if my meals. I have made shepherds's pie (differently), chicken dinner, burritos, cheeseburger casserole, chicken broccoli casserole, goulash, baked beans bacon and bannok, pizza biscuits, beef steoganoff, chili, sausage eggs and hashbrowns, cake, rice pudding, the list goes on. I plan to eat excellent on the trail. Almost everything is homemade and home prepared but most require a full pot set to cook (2-3 pots) for them to turn out correctly. Most I created myself, others i borrowed
Thank you
Great ideas. For your pot cozie if you use foil A/C tape it will hold up better and withstand the heat. Thanks for the good recipes.
I love these ideas for Trucking.
Lookin' GOOD!!
Heres one that was a trail hit, if you want people wanting your food and not your weight this is it. Hot fresh popcorn in abundance. Did this many years ago, 2.5-liter pot aluminum on a white gas stove. Today it would be titanium pot. Supplies, one paper bag to pore popcorn in (popcorn is very hot when pored and melts things but not the paper bag) from the grocery store, two zip lock bags. Packaging vacuum seal popcorn mixed with butter-flavored Crisco together. It is shelf-stable and keeps a long time(months or years). Results, two-plus gallons of hot fresh popcorn. Some to eat now and the rest for trail snacks tomorrow. It is lots of fats and carbs and hits the spot while walking. To make it more balanced add nuts after it is done in the bags. Happy trails.
Good info
Rip hank. You were obviously a good friend and well loved
Cool!
I experimented with some trail recipes. I liked spaghetti (or macaroni noodles) with ground beef. I boiled spaghetti noodles and cooked ground beef, dehydrated those. Marinara sauce I dehydrated right out of the can . I put the dehydrated sauce in the blender to make marinara powder. On trail, I re-hydrated noodles and ground beef by boiling together and letting rest in a cozy. I I drained, but left enough water to reanimate the marinara. Add the powdered sauce and stir to reconstitute. Came out pretty good, just need to experiment a little with water content, but I loooove spaghetti on the trail:)
Another Great video!!
this was really nice Dixie can we see more meal ideas? thanks!
Looking at that Shepherd's pie made me feel full.
I love that tee-shirt "In dog years I'm dead" lol!
LinTastic Hahaha, thanks
Those are great looking recipes.
Slap yo momma good- even for backyard campsites 🏕and da “Raymond” noodles are the cutest sounding noodles- ❤️you Dixie
I feel bad for anyone who has symptoms and has to quarantine, hope you are well dixie. I have been doing a lot of hiking and backpacking the past month since I have had a lot of free time. I will try one of the meals for my trip next week, I have been dehydrating food :-)
I love what you’re doing that’s so important that we learn how to survive and live off the land as well as homesteading- I’ve started this with my family and channel as well
Looks really good...
Hank was looking like he enjoyed making that video!!
Ok ok, I do owe you a recipe. You got me there. I am going to try it in a regular oven first and then outdoors so I don’t keep using gas on flops. I will make sure to keep my taste tester close by. :)
Love your dog
