It's rarely an issue unless you have a medical condition.

Eat normal food, you'll have plenty of potassium.

>>1027102
Generally it takes 3 weeks to develop a vitamin deficiency. To a point where it effects ur health.. I don't even think any of the fucks on this board are out longer then a week.

Stfu lying faggot.

Just eat foil packs of tuna or chicken. Tuna contains a ton of potassium and chicken contains a goodly amount.

Alternatively, freeze dried peas or soybeans both contain a bunch and weigh basically nothing.

>>1027102
arent white beans and banana good for K ?
muesli with banana is godlike and beans are a fine standard camp food.

fennel seeds

get some coconut water

>>1027144
While true for anything less than 2 weeks vitamin deficiency is a non issue the fact that potassium is an electrolyte and not a vitamin renders your point moot.

Spinach has an insane amount of potassium. A can of spinach has 60% dv.

fresh bananas aren't convenient for backpacking, and i find banana chips to be too oily and sugary. has anyone tried dried banana? how's the texture?

>>1027948
>has anyone tried dried banana? how's the texture?
Not hard like the chips, but still substantial.

>>1027144
This. I used to drink a lot and get cramps. They sell potassium tablets. I take them a time or 2 a month.

Mix KCl with your NaCl, 50-50. Solved.

yeah fresh bananas are only good if you are in a country of origin.
but pic related is god like. buy them cheap when they are nice and ripe and a few % off in the store . never had storage issue in a sealed plastic box. but never stored them longer then 1 month.

The banana chips I get are the same as those in trail mix. They are the hardest thing in the trail mix besides almonds and they snap and crunch when eaten. I once bought them by the bag. They are basically like candy.

>A 100-gram serving of banana chips contains 536 milligrams of potassium compared to the 358 milligrams in 100 grams of raw banana.

i bought some dried banana yesterday. texture's weird, flavor's strong, not sure i like it, but i have 9 days to get used to it. going to check out the potassium content of dried peas today.

>>1027102
I came back from a couple weeks /out/ and kept getting odd sensations in my heart. I had an ultrasound and ECG done and it turned out I was lacking in potassium. Not to the point of being severely Hypokalemic though.

couldn't find any dried peas, but i got a bag of inka plantain chips. they're not greasy or oily like regular banana chips, but holy fuck they're bland. kinds like slightly sweet, slightly stale, low salt potato chips.

>>1030459
damn, that's scary. glad you got checked out and are okay. how would you describe the odd sensations? and did they tell you want your heart was physically doing that was causing them?

Dried apricots have way more K than dried bananas, by mass.

>>1030498
i know dried apricots are king, reread my op. but i'm looking for some variety.

>>1027102
i cup of cooked lima beans = 1G potassium

I do it a lot when I make dried apple chips and other such things.

Seriously, spend $100 on a dehydrator. It may be expensive at first but if you prep and are out a lot it quickly saves a lot of money. Bags of dried fruits can go upwards of six, seven bucks here in AR, whereas for the same amount I can buy 20 apples and make five bags of dried chips. Then I just put them in a ziploc and do the same shit.

>>1030540
>dehydrator
i've been meaning to for years, but it's one of those things that i always remember i want when i'm in the car or something, but never when i'm at target or someplace i can actually buy one. we had one when i was a kid, and it was fucking great.

>>1030555
nice trips
>check'd

also go to amazon or something, youll never find a decent deal at wally mart or mass shooting target

>>1028049
Yeah, bring this guy along.

It has been amazing. I use it for veggies from my farm harvesting. you can even dehydrate unconventional things like beef stew, fully prepared pasta meals, etc. Just make sure it has 10% moisture or less. Bag it/jar it/vacuum seal it and rehydrate/cook/eat "raw" later on the trail. See a great sale on fruit or something, buy in bulk and dehydrate it. Get a food business license then get bulk stuff directly from local warehouses for ultra cheap.

>reposted pic

Buy low sodium salt replacement. There, you have high density potassium chloride ready to go. For rehydration drink, I used sodium, potassium chlorides and sugar.

i think i'll buy a cheapy to have until i know i'm actually going to use it regularly and i get annoyed at how little i can dry and how long it takes with a bargain one.

i also finally found peas. they're good, but drier than fucking sand. i think i'd have to drink so much water with them i'd just piss out all the potassium i gained.

>>1030486
fuq off, inka is great food and cheap. Buy a multivitamin anyways you catsack

>>1030533
Try some salt and garlic powder it's pretty good mixed in some plantain chips
