Food tips for backpacking meals requested.
Whenever I go out I freeze milk and put it in my pack with my food.
This I wrap with any clothing or other cloth and put in the center of my pack. If its not too hot this will keep everything cold for several days. The milk is handy for coffee or pancakes or other things you might cook on the trail.
Remember , you can freeze milk but not half and half.
What do you eat while /out/?
OP bumping with slab apricots from trader joes.
Holy shit these things are delicious and will get you through a morning hike.
MIx them in with steel cut oats and some milk f

A handful of dried apricots always gives me the shits. I prefer firm stools when out, because I don't have to pack as much TP. Just a thing to keep in mind for anyone who plans on just taking these and peanuts. Also, almonds are great as a trail food, but you've got to keep the amount fairly low. Eating too many almonds will result in cyanide poisoning. Its not enough to suicide, mind you, just makes for an awful migraine.

Anyone /sweden/ here? I'm planning a trip to Stockholm next year and I'm looking for some trails to walk (partially). Currently looking at Sörmlandsleden, Upplandsleden or Roslagsleden. All 3 are relatively close to Stockholm I think?
Also, is it worth going all the way north just to do Kungsleden?
I'll be going July/August/September by the way.

Som stockholmare råder jag dig att inte komma hit, alla vandringsleder häromkring är antingen fulla med folk eller så är det bara massa fulla tonåringar där.

no doubt there'll be real swedes with way more info but i went canoeing there a month or two back and shit was awesome. slept in little shelters like your pic and it was very nice indeed.
My fellow axe wielding sc/out/s. I see so many different size handles and heads out there and so many preferences I just had to ask. What length handle do you prefer and why? I prefer a 26"(give or take) for the leverage. What about you?
>>634613
what a retarded question...
handle length and head size should be adjusted to your proportions and the task.
one school says for general purpose axe you should have one that reaches from your armpit to your palm preferably a carpenters style good for both whittling and cutting. but that is way too large for hiking and way too small for felling or serious splitting.
>>634640
Y-you dont split with an axe. You split with a maul...
26 inches is my upper limit. After that fitting it on an atv or motorcycle becomes kinda akward.
>>634653
i don't have any mauls or axes
all i got is a hatchet and i split with that. it splits nice.
Anyone else likes a drink when /out/? Show your flasks and tell us what you fill em with.
pic related i got the 10 oz GSI (on the right) and fill it with 12yo Old Pulteney single malt.
i have a cheap metal flask i bought at a flea market, i fill it with whatever the fuck i have.. usually jim beam
>mostly because im not some hipster faggot
also
>calling this alcoholism
drinking your fancy aged single malt in the woods dosnt make you an alcoholic kid

If I'm hiking all my friends drink bourbon (ky thing), but I'm a beer drinker, so most every weekend I load up the atv with a 30 pack and hit the hills with around 5 of my buddies. Always run into people doing the same. Get real wild then build a fire and cook some elegant wilderness meal to get sobered up, then head on in or stretch a tarp out and go to bed.
If i'm on a longer hike i would fill a little whisky/rum in a plastic bottle. Otherwise i would use a metal container. It warms so nicly.
Making some pemmican to eat during the day on a long backpacking trip. I plan on having freezedried meals for breakfast and dinner, so I'm not making this for historical reasons or anything, simply a way to have some dense calories to wolf down for cheap during the day.
A few questions since there is a ton of retarded information out there, and also some very good information.
One of the better guides I read said to use a dehydrator and don't go above 120*F since it will make the meat unsuitable. Not entirely sure what that is supposed to mean since he doesn't explain it. I would imagine it would destroy some of the protein being cooked at higher temperatures and that's what he's getting at, but I am not knowledgeable in this area.

Anybody have experience drying the meat out at temperatures exceeding that? I'm mainly wondering since the lowest setting on my oven is 170*F.
I don't plan on adding berries this batch, but I think some dried chili peppers might not be a bad idea next batch when I can make it with a dehydrator.

Just get some cliff bars you raging faggot.
>>622697
Fuck you nigger. I'm not spending fucking over $100 and taking up a bunch of weight in my bag for some nut and granola bars. I want meat and fat. and for around $50 to make 8 pounds of this stuff, it makes it a very viable solution.
