Forging into nature is always an exciting event. And for the trip to be successful, it is necessary to take care of food, because in the open air the appetite increases, and the body needs additional calories.
What kind of food to take in the campaign in the summer?
Especially relevant is the provision of provisions in the summer season, when the products spoil very quickly. Therefore, with you you need to take only what is not subject to high temperatures and has a long shelf life. All products that in a few hours without a refrigerator will already have a dubious freshness to be left at home so as not to poison them in the campaign.
It is very advantageous from the point of view of preserving freshness and to facilitate the burden of taking dried food for the trek. Now there is a wonderful opportunity to dry all vegetables, fruits and even meat in an electric dryer . It can put up to 3 kilograms of fresh products and get about 1 kilogram of the original:
- carrot;
- bow;
- beet;
- berries;
- apples;
- any meat;
- a fish;
- mushrooms.
After all, you will agree, it will be much easier to carry a kilogram of dry vegetables, rather than a three-kilogram package. Prepared in this way, products can be stored for a long time at any temperature, and it is convenient to transport them in plastic bottles or linen bags. Such food for a hike, in addition to preserving all the useful properties, also has an excellent taste, and after a few minutes it becomes identical to the original product in boiling water.
What kind of food to take in the campaign for a week?
In order not to carry unnecessary luggage with you, it is recommended to take the calculation of food for one person in the campaign. Of course, it is approximate and small deviations are possible. Experienced tourists take about 700 grams of food per person per day. You can limit yourself to a smaller amount, but this is optional. That is, a week's trip alone will require about five kilograms of food.
If you do not have a clue what to take in a hike from a meal, then here's an indicative list of necessary:
- Cereals (wheat, oats, buckwheat, barley).
- Stewed meat is homemade or purchased at a rate of 0.5 liters per day.
- Pasta
- Roast from vegetables (it is more profitable to take it, as it saves time for cooking).
- Potatoes.
- Canned fish.
- The sausage is dry.
- Bread.
- Fat.
- Tea and coffee.
- Sugar and salt.
- Chocolate, condensed milk, dried fruit, if desired.
It is very important to take a sufficient amount of water if it is impossible to replenish its reserves on the way. Morning snack usually consists of cereals or what remains of yesterday's dinner, as well as high-calorie sweets (sweets, chocolate, condensed milk).
In the afternoon, as a rule, tourists do not stop for a long time, which means that the fire does not get divorced. That's why sandwiches with sausage or canned goods will help out. Dinner is the richest meal of the day. You can cook soup and all kinds of porridges with meat, so that the body has enough energy for saturation and night heating.
