In this video, Tayson gives you the three things that he now focuses on when it comes to packing food for backpacking as an ultralight backpacker.
It used to be all about calories per ounce, but ever since he got sick on the fastpacking trip on the Skyline Trail, Tayson has been singing a different tune. Now it's all about variety, nutrition, and, most importantly, that when he's on the trail he wants to WANT to eat his food. Not only does Tayson explain the why of all of that, but he also dives into every item in his food bag for a recent backpacking trip.

Really enjoyed this. I agree: 1. Bring what you like. 2. Don't bring more than you are going to eat. It turns out, I am very happy to eat the same thing every day: Oatmeal, gorp, sausage, cheese, and a freeze dried dinner. And as an older adult, I find that 1500 cals a day will power me through 10-14 miles per day for several days.

I have learned that if I'm on the trail for more than about 5 days that my taste buds change! Things that I loved at the beginning are literally gross later. It's weird. (Maybe if I was on trail for even longer - say a month or more - they would change again. I dunno) I also learned that there's certain things I have to eat before lunch time (nut butters) or else they will never get touched! I completely agree about variety. However, I've also learned that there are certain things that I actually WANT to eat every. Single. Day. So I pack those, even if they are not the most calorie dense (lookin' at you Dried Mangoes!). 😆 Basically your advice is figure out what works for YOU. I love it! I also love the way you talk to your audience and all the little flubs that you choose to leave in the video, not edit out. Makes it more personable and real. Keep up the good work!

Great advice Tayson! I would add one more tip: try to make your diet on the trail as similar to your diet at home as possible (especially in terms of the ratio of macro-nutrients) to help avoid stomach upset or unease. As much as I would love to become “fat-adapted” and carry more calorie-dense food, and burn my own fat stores, I haven’t had the willpower to do it yet. So I totally agree that it doesn’t do any good to bring food you can’t stomach. For winter trips, I think the food I’ve been most jealous of is a cheap frozen pizza that my avy instructor had cooked and folded into fourths. If you like cold pizza and are going on a trip cool enough to keep it from spoiling, that’s a great option for day 1 lunch or dinner! Folds nice and flat 😁.

I never worry about calorie content. My problem is that the hotter it is the less appetite I have. Will drink plenty so not dehydrated just not hungry. As such many of the snacks go to waste on the trail and end up being eaten at home afterwards. I tend not to go for the freeze dried packs either. Can get pouches of chilli, curry, rice etc which just need heated up at a fraction of the cost and weigh similar. Or buy fresh and make from scratch for main meal. Helpful if passing villages or towns where you can buy on the go rather than lug food around.

Such a great topic to cover, I've had way too many backpacking trips that were less than enjoyable due to losing my appetite after a long day of hiking (Uinta's - so 9000+ ft) finally figured out that it was due to dehydration/lack of electrolytes, not snacking often enough and not having an appealing to me meal to look forward to at the end of the day. Peak Refuel's definitely sit better with me than MH or others and big variety of snacks in smaller portions take care of the rest! In other words-I totally agree with you

Love the video. I'm a bigger dude and I always pack more food per day than I eat. Never want to go hungry. Over time I came to the same conclusion you did: the greens via drinking and multi-vitamins that I mix into my water to help out with nutrition. Best thing I ever did was start planning out things I would look forward to. Love the work here.

Good to see you've learned what many of us have figured out years ago. Especially in the guide business where when in my case I am guiding people at elevations of over 14K feet for multiple days, what looks good and appetizing will change unpredictably. The only 2 things I would highlight is eliminating refined sugar and excess natural sugars and the 2nd thing... I would keep that count recorded so that you develop a baseline for what works. Then when I (or you) throw together your variety of foods, you can at least have something with which to compare. It's important to remember that what works for some people does NOT work for others. And as always, be PROACTIVE with regards to nutrition, not REACTIVE (starving, getting sick, bonking). There are SO many options these days as compared to when I began running ultras, packing ultralight, or guiding 30 years ago. And I was fortunate to have a biochem nutritionist professor in medical school who was a nephrologist. His hobby was figuring out the ultimate backpacking food and how to determine what works for individuals. Have never forgotten his lessons and I still don't see much adherence to true nutritional efficiency and lightweight-ness. But I think you are starting to chip away at that gap! (And you haven't even mentioned pre-prepared foods yet!).

This is the same mental journey I've taken! I used to be in the store with a calculator making sure I got the most calories per oz. When my kiddo was 9 I started bringing him on multi-day trips. He's such a foodie! I learned that the best way to keep him happy was to spend more money on tastier food. Good2Go is our favorite, but I haven't tried Peak Refuel yet. Now I mostly dehydrate my dinners, mix my own breakfasts, and pack a similar variety of snacks to what you have. A tip and a question: Make sure to get enough fiber! A lot of high-calorie food is low in fiber. By day 2 I'll be regretting that deeply as my bowels refuse to move! My go-to now is a scoop of carob powder and a bit of dried fruit in a ziplock bag. I make one for each day. Add cold water when I get to camp, eat it before bed. Makes your morning go smooooothly. The question for you is what on earth is that packet of greens? Yum! I end up craving veggies something fierce. What brand is that? I want to get some.

If you are going on a much longer hike (thru hike type of thing) and want to become much more fat adapted, it helps to not eat after dinner and then eat breakfast, or your first meal after you have done some miles in the morning so you actually have a 12+ hour fasting period where you force your body into fat burning mode. Also, there are plenty of food out there that are natural and taste great that have much less simple carbs so you don't end up flooding yourself with simple sugars every time you eat.

Good advice! Hitting a climb right away from a trail head often suppresses an appetite. It's not always about the amount of calories but the right kind of calories. Eat healthy fats, get your whole-grain carbohydrates, and drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Fat provides energy and helps your body absorb vitamins. Some vitamins (like A, D, E and K) actually need fat to properly benefit your body. Be sure to pick unsaturated fats. Good sources are avocado, olive and canola oils, flaxseed and nuts. Lot's of good info on this topic. Could probably do a few vids on diet on the trail.

Didn't know where you were headed at the beginning of this. Great advice 👍 Variety, and know what works for you. Snickers bar, and I'm bonking five steps after I ate it. Too many days with trail mix (nuts), and I'm spending a lot of time in the bushes. Sugary energy/electrolyte drinks, forget it. Electrolyte tablets and electrolyte foods without the sugar work a lot better for me. Although I do like the electrolyte jellybeans right before that pass you're talking about.
@ryanleaming2103

Bonking sucks and figuring out my food was so helpful in allowing me to do bigger efforts. This really applies more for long hard days (fast packing, ultra running, fast and light mountaineering, etc..) but I've found the types of calories I eat matter a lot more than how much. Fats and proteins have a really high calorie per ounce but are very slow to break down and seem to clog everything up. They are very important to front load get at the end of the day which is why I also love peak refuel (especially the cheesy chicken and broccoli). For many long 13-20 hr pushes I really just focus on sugar and salt with a very small amount of fats and proteins and I thought it seemed ridiculous to try to something like a 20 hr 36 mile 11 ft push with gummy worms, Snickers, cliff bars, and nuun and ditching the jerky and cheese at home but I've never felt better!

Your food choices are almost exactly like mine even down the the vegetables and salt. Peak is my first choice for dinner too. The problem is it takes up too much space. Food will quickly take up half my pack depending on the number of days. Also, those options aren’t always available in trail towns, which is why I learned thru hikers don’t pack that stuff. I honestly don’t know how they do it.

A lot of packaging = garbage. Why not get a good food dehydrator and dehydrate your home cooked meals? Cuts down on packaging (put it in a ziplock) and weight.

@@TaysonWhittaker fantastic! You can dehydrate any home cooked meal that has a sauce…spaghetti, stews soups… etc. You’ll need a liner tray for your dehydrator.
