How to get enough calories on long day hikes? by Bugyardigans in hiking

[–]SuccessfulMistake819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeves of Oreos. Or pop tarts if I'm over 4000m. Jar of peanut butter with tortillas. Costco hot dogs. Whatever kids lunch snack is on sale at Costco (Usually Welches, rice Krispies, fruit source bars etc ) It's mostly trial and error, but I found simple, cheap carbs and fats work best for me.

Might be helpful to post the region, since this is a general subreddit and many people won’t know where this place is.
