Let's talk light weight packpacking food!

Wonder how the PB powder would be.  Go half chocolate and half peanut butter

Two batches ago, I used the protein powder that was peanutbutter cup and chocolate.  It tasted very well.  I rotate flavors of my protein to keep it interesting. I imagine anything but the fruity flavors would taste real good.

Here is my made up recipe and the powder I used in the last batch, which turned out as my favorite batch so far.
Sometimes I add a little more or a little less of each depending on the day.
I can't remember exactly but I think the last time I made them I cut 8 bars and they ended up being around 350 calories each.
If you happen to start selling these, name them after me and give me 25% of the profit.

Thank you, looks good! Going to try that next time I make bars

So has anybody ever been on a keto or carnivore diet and tried staying on it while in the backcountry? Seems like this would really complicate things as most backpacking food contains high amounts of carbs and calories for energy. I'm sure it could be done, I know J Phelps stayed on his diet plan while elk hunting last year, but I don't know what his strategy was for it.

Keto bricks.  I make my own and you will not beat the calorie to weight ratio.  I’m experimenting with added electrolytes for endurance events, one less thing to carry and mess with.

Not everyone can eat them day in and out, but I’m not picky.  You can supplement with jerky, nuts or other stuff.  Mine are all the same flavor but you can make different ones too.

That sounds pretty good, never tried to make my own bars.... guess its time to try it. Thanks!

I pack 4 pieces of string cheese per day, might be the Wisconsin in me lol.

I'm also a big fan of nut butters and olive oil packets, can't beat either of them in terms of calories per ounce.

Just make sure you're used to a high fat diet or you'll be shatting your pants on your hunt.

we use olive oil in almost everything at home.  I used to run the single serve packets in my food bags but God those things are some leaking SOB's!  80+ days a year out of a backpack I got a bit tired of oily food bags and finally just had enough and cut them from the lineup

I dehydrate all my own food too and I am all about the Idahoans potatoes combined with a crock pot sort of meal that I cook with veggies and a meat of your choosing.  Add in some of those instant gravy packets sometimes too.  Im a big fan of those cocoa covered almonds that were previously mentioned as well.  Dehydrated mango and bananas are also a staple of mine.

I have a pocket rocket heater and a canteen cup. Ramen noodles and snickers!

probably just a whole bunch of top ramen

380 cals a package at 3oz per package so 9 ramen a day would put me at 3,420 calories.  27oz of goodness a day!  You sir are a genius
