      Honestly after hiking just under 1600 miles last year on the Appalachian Trail I'd say you probably aren't gonna wanna cook at the end of the day. I didnt even want to heat up ramen or Knoor pasta and rice sides and that only took about 5-7 minutes. Now I will say a long distance hike where your trying to knock out 20+ miles daily is different than your average hike. After spending 4 1/2 months in the woods I would try to bring alot of dehydrated meals. You can do it yourself. You can add alot of variety. Every meal will be a "just add water" meal so it wont weigh much. I love brothers green but if you want hiker friendly meals check out hiking channels. I love the brothers but if they haven't done any legit hiking they wont know what hikers want to carry and not carry. You want fat, protein and carbs. Some sweet sugary snacks for a quick energy boost but really the carbs are gonna give you energy. If you do really enjoy hiking and cooking. Your best bet would be to do it when the temp drops. That way you can carry food that would normally have to be refrigerated. Just remember you have to pack out what you pack in. Doing the cooking(dehydrating) before hand saves you from having to carry alot of food trash. And that food trash can attract everything from bears to rodents. You'll wake up to a backpack full of holes from the mice chewing their way in to your food(leave all pockets unzipped and open to avoid that). If your just going on a day hike or weekend trip you can just cook the same stuff you normally would eat. I would stick with some sort of rice or pasta. Easy to pack, full of carbs, easy to cook. A little eye dropper size bottle of some sort of cooking oil. Garlic, onion, spam or other canned meat. Granola pre made. Oatmeal and coffee for breakfast. Everything tastes better when its cooked in the woods after a long days hike. It doesnt take much. Basically the longer you're gonna be in the woods the easier you want your cooking to be. If it's just a day hike and your only hiking 5-10 miles you can afford to bring a cast iron pan and a lunch box with freezer blocks sewn into the liner to carry meats and wine and eggs or whatever else( I've never tried those). But if your gonna be out for 3 or more days, cooking a 5 star meal just isn't gonna be a priority. Asking the brothers to make "hiker friendly meals" is just to broad of a question. What you want to eat compared to what you have to feed your body to maintain a healthy living changes greatly based on the time your spending in the woods. Sorry I know that was a long comment. Hope it helped. You might want to start with youtubers "Homade Wanderlust" "following bigfoot" and "Darwin on the Trail" if your looking for hiking food. They're not gonna give you much when it comes to cooking cause like I said most people dont want to add more work to their day especially when you're finishing up and trying to relax. Alot of people "cold soak" their meals Plus if your not near a water source you have to use you're drinking water to cook and wash everything before going to bed and most people would wake up constantly to rehydrate because of a long day hiking and eating food full of carbs so you really dont want to use water that you could be drinking to cook and wash utensils with. I'd hate to say it but the term "hiker food" is sort of glamorized. True hikers know that we dont want to cook and add chores to our evening routine. I knew hikers that would pour cold water into their Idaho instant mash bags mix it and drink it. I couldnt do it . I'd gag just watching em. But again if your just going out for a day hike, depending on the temperature and what your willing to pack in and pack out you can cook virtually anything. When I started my hike I came across a hiker that claimed he started with a wheel Barrow cause he had 110lbs of gear. I had 45 and I was gear heavy so I'm not sure I believe him. But he had multiple utensils. Knife, spoon, fork, spatula, pot, pan. Straws he cut up and filled with spices and melted the ends so he could carry a mini spice rack. When you get to that point you have to ask yourself. Are you in the woods to hike or cook? If your in the woods to hike, you're not gonna wanna carry a bunch of cooking utensils. It's just too much weight. If you love cooking stay home and cook. The 2 unfortunately just dont go together. Again I'm not trying to burst any bubbles here. You're basically gonna want a base weight of no more than 30lbs. Plus 2lbs/day for food and I always carried 2 liters/4lbs of water. Your general health, time of year, duration in the woods, distance to water sources, alone or with others, park rules and regulations and many other factors are gonna determine what you bring and cook. Ultimately you're just trying to find a way to have your weight/nutritional values be as low as possible with weight and as high as possible with nutrition. It's not glamorous. Alot of jerky, prepackaged tuna and spam, ramen, honeybuns, oatmeal, and trail mix. Quick easy and packed with what you need while not adding to much weight. Believe it or not if you're gonna be out there for a bit eating healthy is actually unhealthy. I lost 60lbs in 3 months and I was eating shitty food. I couldnt keep the weight on me to save my life.

      This question may have been answered elsewhere, but I haven't seen it. Why not use a microwave to cook the sweet potato? It's delicious, fast, energy conserving, and doesn't heat up the kitchen. And not everyone in an apartment even has an oven -- or wants one!

  • @gloriaa3652

    Gotta tell ya’, this series you did on packing lunch is Inspired! And, yes, having snacks is too often overlooked; they can keep you from succumbing to the unhealthy treats people bring in-and in a hospital that’s a lot. The muffin approach is super, as in, why didn’t we think of that? I’m off and running. Anything more you can add in this area is welcome. Sometimes having chefs demystify methods for us is the most helpful.

      The trick I think is not to overcrowd the pot, add just enough corn to cover the surface. That way when you hear no more popping you can remove it from the stove.

    OMG, you are saving my ass with this sourdough starter croutons!!! That tip is awesome. If I have no time to make bread or pancakes, I will definetly make some croutons with my starter. Can't wait to try it. These episodes are even more inspiring that your other videos, I don't know, that this would be possible, so mind blowing. Thank you so much.

    Number One Lesson:
    When you fast intermittently, get up, watch this show for hours (while you can't eat), then leave for work (where you can't eat for 2 hours as well)... your hunger will rise to a significant degree... Holy shit, I can't wait to eat today :D damn...
    P. S.: why am I binging this channel for days now :D

    Love the video! The idea of muffins is perfect - going to give it a try this week. What is your typical ratio of wet to dry ingredients?

      If meal prep & eating the same/similar meals every day works for you, then by all means feel free to do it! This video is just about expanding your options and showing you that you don't need to just do simple meal prep to eat delicious & healthy meals! :D

      creativity requires effort. It's one of the reasons why repetitive meal prepping may be easier but gets old/boring over time.

      Nothing wrong with a bit of meal prep and some fresh food addition options. I batch cook twice a week for variety and prep. As a single person, cooking ends up as prep because cooking a recipe creates several meals if its just on person eating. But, it can serve as dinner, and a couple of leftover lunches and dinner another. I pair any leftovers with fresh food fruits or salad. Salads take a few minutes if you have ingredients on hand. Thats just my experience. I do a bit of both meal prep and fresh pairing.

      What I find is that now I'm spending a huge chunk of my weekend making food for my workweek. So now... when do I actually get time to do anything other than cook and work? Especially for people who are way more amateur and will probably take twice as long to come out with meals that are about 50% as good as these turned out. Week nights are spent feeding and caring for kids, then crashing into bed. This is why we wind up eating out way too much. Otherwise, my time just goes down the drain. It sucks.

    Thank you mikel. I definitely want to get into that when I am working again. Mabey I should start with cold meals like the salads and not necessarily the soups? What do you think?

    @kevelthaus3197 Před 3 lety +1

    I love your videos, they are inspiring, interesting and helpful. I know I am not the only one here asking but for those muffins, can you give ratio's of each ingredient to help those of us who can't or don't feel comfortable just winging it. For those who are just starting out cooking for themselves - what your video is all about - having a recipe/proportions/options/substitutions for the muffins would be a great help. Thanks and keep up the amazing work.

    In europe we would never eat a muffin for breakfast. Muffins are on sundays after the family dinner.

    On the greens: put some interesting ones in with flavour like arugula, spinach, kale. Or add cabbage or spring onion. Taste them separately and see what you like.

    @sammyvriend Před 5 lety

    I've just made a carrot/cinnamon/ginger version of the muffins. Fenominal! Sweet potato, yoghurt, one carrot, ginger, honey, cinnamon and gingerbread spices, two eggs, flower, salt, baking soda and just a bit lime juice. I think with a bit of orange zest/juice it would be even better.
