The best hiking food is nutritious and of course light to carry. The total number of calories is also critical to ensure that you consume enough energy to be able to keep going in harsh and arduous conditions. When working hard during a challenging bush walk it is important to consume carbohydrates regularly along with fresh cool water. The food you eat is vital to ensure your hydration. The best hiking food contains appropriate level of sodium in order to maintain your electrolytes and keep you from becoming a casualty to heat exhaustion or some other sort of heat injury. Conversely in cold conditions you must keep the fire burning inside your body in order to produce heat on top of the energy that you need to physically perform.
This is a collection of the best hiking food I can find on the market that provides not only the essential elements of nutrition but also taste along with the practical aspects of preparation and consumption whilst on the track. This food has a shelf life of up to 3 years. But it must be kept in a relatively cool location.
