  • Dehydrated vegetables and full meals are available at camping stores.
  • Try Ramen noodle soups or any of those soup in a cups, packaged in baggies, so they take up a lot less room.
  • Dehydrated bean flakes, cooks in 10-15 minutes, and are available in many varieties can be mixed with some spice and cooked rice. Put it beans and rice in a tortilla and you will see, it is delicious and filling. Yum! Flavor them with onion powder, garlic powder and/or cumin powder.
  • Cheese holds up very well in backpacks. When it is properly wrapped, you don't have to deal with cheese oil dripping on your other items. The fat will do you good if you are hiking for hours. If it's cold, the fat can help you stay warm. 
  • You need a lot more calories when it's cold. Add a cheese to your soup, pasta, rice, or dehydrated veggies you're cooking.
  • Pasta, the King of the backpackers' menu. You can top it with cheese, sauces made from the dry package mixes and add vegetables and meat. A lot of these recipes are tasty. The package mixes are high in sodium and preservatives, usually. Remember, the flavor goes a long way, so you don't have to use too much.
