On today’s episode, we are joined by avid backpacker, dietitian, and founder of Backcountry Foodie– Aaron Owens Mayhew. As an active adventurer, Aaron decided freeze-dried rations weren’t going to cut it anymore when it came to backcountry nutrition – so instead, she began making her own food. From that grew her business, Backcountry Foodie– an ultralight recipe and meal planning resource.
Tune in as Aaron details how to maximize nutrition whilst reducing food weight for your next adventure. From freeze-dried foods, cold soak meals, and meal replacement drinks, Aaron shares her favorite feasts. Learn more about the common mistakes and misconceptions of backcountry sustenance, and the importance of proper nutrition when tackling a long-haul hike from our expert guest.
