Ramen, tuna, peanut butter, dried fruit, candy, and some bars for a week in the Sierras. Had most of the pb left at the end. I object to dehydrated meals that cost $15 - ramen and tuna is like $3. Just need a stove for the ramen and the coffee.

Fell in love with these at Beaver Pond Camp 2024!
This is really 4 days plus an incase day since I hike with my dogs. I feel like this is barely enough food for 5 days. I'd like more, but I'm already loaded down enough.
For dinner every night I bring water to a boil with 2 proteins (and seasonings/sauces if I have any). Then add a knorrs and a ramen. Wrap it up, set up camp, stir in 1/4 pack of potatoes, wrap it back up, have a safety meeting, and then enjoy. I usually mix in some of my crunchies bag (all my crunchy, chips, crackers, and nuts go in one bag. Same for candy) or I've been carrying pepper jack cheese singles that have been great with the Buffalo Chicken Mac.
I usually go light on lunch stuff because I usually have a late breakfast and an early dinner. And no I don't take the can. I'm at a hostel, I put it in a bag and cut slices at camp. Electrolyte mixs and dogs treats aren't pictured.
Whatcha think?
Guys, I know it looks bad but hear me out — it tastes even worse
Caloric
I just saw this on bluesky, and while “tube of coffee noodles” gives me a full-body shiver, it does feel extremely relevant to this sub.
I was looking at some recent pics from done the Kinsman’s in NH and my hiking partner took some moderately unfortunate in terms of being flattering but at least semi humorous pictures of me eating honey buns (also tuna because I’m a basic hiker bitch sometimes apparently)
My question is, can you name a more stable dessert item than a honey bun(for hiking/backpacking) How can they exist so long in your pack without being fully crushed? I’ve carried everything from danish to cake to tiramisu to donuts and honey buns just really hold up in a way that very few other snacks can. Oreos become crumbs, oatmeal cream pies a bag of goo… but honey buns can exist for ages and just be semi okay and still look like a honey bun
The only limitation I have is I have a nut allergy,
Just looking for advise as a first time 1-2 night camper going into a the Adirondacks, I want the food to be as easy and light as I can make it. I’ll probably go out and buy myself a nice meal on the last day once I’m done.

So glad to have found this sub!
Tortilla, mayo, ketchup, tuna and chips.
