What do you eat on the road as a poor traveller/backpacker with no access to a kitchen?

I'm tired of bread, cheese, ham and fruit.
>>
hummus and crackers
nuts
peanut butter and crackers
powdered milk and cereal

Jerky
Hardtack
Pemmican
Water
Salt, Cumin, Black Pepper, Hot Pepper
Dehydrated fruits
Dehydrated vegetables
Kombu
Dried beans
Rice
Lard
>>
>>986294
try soups, like beef stew and prepare over stainless cookware/cup. It's what I do when I'm tired of the norm, yet still has the carbs, proteins, and fats. Stay away from junkfood on the trail. I'm a moderate fatass and it leaves even me feeling like shit.
>>
>>986294
Oats, musli, powdered milk, powdered potato mash, assorted soup mixes, salami, coffee, tea
>>
>>986315
beans take for fucking ever to cook. Do Lentils if you want some thing fast
>>
>>986294
A couple of jars of peanut butter go a long way. I like honey roasted.
>>
nuts, energy/our candy bars. doritos. tuna in a can, trail mix. try take it easy on heavy sugar/pure candy. can corn, green beans, pork rines, viannea sausage
>>
>>986668
sketios, slim jims, carrots, celery,spam,pork n beans, raviolies, sardines, that bagged already popped popcorn, tomatoes, lettuce, yeah you could always just get some dressing and eat salads. thats most the store.
>>

i like this option but wouldnt call it cheap or for the poor traveler. I also like summer sausage and my favorite are the dukes meat sticks, or any other similar meat stick with a "snap" that isnt mushy like slimjim

inb4 Raymond Noodles
less than 50 cents and you can eat em dry

A day later I use a thermal cooker to cook them while hiking or doing something else. They soak and cook in it. My interaction with the beans takes all of 10-15 minutes not including time to eat them. You should look into thermal insulation cooking. There's even a "Thermos Vacuum Insulation Cooker" for an expensive amount. You can easily DIY one with a container and some insulation (foam peanuts, towels, fiberglass, straw, etc). Google up:

Thermal Cooker
Haybox Cooker
Insulation Cooker

I suggest you make one for home testing from a pot with lid and about 5 bath towels. It is EXTREMELY simple to make. Just fold 2 towels up and set them on a table. Get some rice or pasta. Bring the rice or pasta to a roiling boil and place the pot with lid onto the 2 towels. Place the remaining towels on top and around the sides so there's a thick layer of insulation. (Note that this will work better if you wrap the pot in aluminum foil first.) White rice will take about 40 minutes while pasta and egg noodles take about 8 mins. Cooking times will vary depending on a number of factors.

Keep in mind the store bought thermal cookers are not as good as the DIY ones for efficiency and speed. They are however, much smaller and lighter than what most people make. I mean you could make one using Aerogel blankets and it would be small and amazing, but very very expensive.

FYI, any vacuum insulated carafe will work as an insulation cooker. The glass lined ones are better than the metal lined ones, as the glass ones transfers less heat out of the container at the neck. Meaning you can make rice in your Thermos/Stanly bottle. I use my vacuum insulated, glass-lined, Diamond brand carafe for that when hiking/camping. It takes practice to get a good system going, but it is well worth it. Be very careful you don't overfill these or expanding beans/rice could break them with disastrous results! I've never had that happen for the ten years I've been doing it.

>i like this option but wouldnt call it cheap or for the poor traveler.

I make my own. It is very simple. You can make jerky or biltong depending on your equipment/method and environment humidity. You can do this with any type of meat that isn't fatty.

Where I live and travel Ramen costs about $0.19usd per 2-serving packet. I break one in half and only use half of it per meal. I also add dried veggies and a bit of dried meat to it. I normally make my own egg noddles since I have chickens. I dry the egg noddles and have them for camping/hiking trips instead of store bought noddles or pasta.

You should try to cut down on the processed shit if you can OP. Those preservatives and trans fats are not good for you. Dried fruit, nuts, jerky, cheese, packed veggies especially roots that can keep like carrots or radishes. Oats are pretty good too. Get a sterno and a pot and you can upgrade to potatoes or rice which keep for a long time. Raw fruit and veggies are pretty much the best food you can keep in terms of energy, but they are hard to use as travelling food because they're relatively quick to spoil, but somehow people don't realize that apples and oranges can keep for a week unrefridgerated.

Those dubs tho. Peanut butter for the Road Gods.
>>
Tuna sealed in foil thats also soaked in virgin olive oil has a literal god tier mixture of calories to protein and also has omega and potassium and other stuff.

$50 worth of it will probably feed you for a month, too.

On top of that, dehydrated beans will hydrate in cold water in about an hour. $25 of these will provide about a months worth of food.

Bring multivitamins for calcium and other things, you onlu get about 10% of the nutrients they advertise but any added margin is a good thing especially when doing heavy physical activity.

Unironically chewing on lollies or chocolate for a bit can give you massive energy boosts when you're fucking exhausted. When I went for a hike in the Australian Alps for about a week, I lived largely off dried fruit, weetbix (sort of like hardtack/cereal biscuits), and tuna preserved in lemon and oil.

Powdered anything is good, but bringing a bit of powdered gatorade is good for hydration and as a motivation because you can make several drinks out of a bag that weighs next to nothing and takes up no space. Dried and vacuum packed pasta and rice are pretty good as well, so long as you have sauces to mix them with.

Longlife tuna products and carbohydrates are probably the best foods in terms of what you get for your money and how much it weighs.

the idea of pemican sounds intruiging to me but I can't buy it here for a fair price.

could I cut up some sausage and dried fruit and maybe bacon and make like a pemican inspired meat trailmix ?

or would this go rancid real fast ?

I tried getting into pemmican too but it's either not real pemmican or too expensive to be worth it, even homemade. Smoked and salted pork sausages are just as good if you don't mind the sodium and can be added to soups, stews, ramen, powdered mashed potatoes etc. Forget pemmican unless you hunt yourself
>>
>>989028
Btw the purpose of trail mix isn't getting in your daily protein, so forget it unless you like the taste of adding smoked salted pork sausage bits
>>
>>989302
Most trail mix has nuts in it. A serving size is 1 cup and has 21g of protein.

http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/snacks/5377/2

You only need 46-56g of protein a day.

How do you eat that much tuna without going as mad as a hatter?

Why, are you trying to lose weight. Celery takes up space in your stomach and in your bag but doesnt offer any calories.

I read a book by Tom Brown and he said some of that stuff is still edible after 300 years or so from the natives.
