Odds are you’re deciding what food you’re going to bring into the backcountry from the comfort of your home, tent, or van. And that’s ok! As a matter of fact, this opens the door for many unique backcountry meal opportunities. From a protein bar to a “charcuteski<\/a>” board, sardines to a sandwich, last night’s leftovers to a gas-station burrito, anything is possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to ask some Voile Staff and members of the V-Team “What are your favorite backcountry meals and why?”. Some of the answers make sense, some are plain ridiculous, and some may level up your snack time. Just remember, if you can carry it up, you can eat it on the summit. <\/p>\n\n\n

What Voile staff have to say…<\/h5>\n\n\n
Luke, Video Guru<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

“My go-to skin track snack is either a cold Albertsons sandwich with a ginger beer or a homemade breakfast sandwich on a cheese bagel. I also like to carry a Nalgene of hot country time lemonade.”<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hayley, Customer Service Sensei<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

“Long tours, my bag is loaded with the necessities… PB&J (preferably smushed and chilled), Gummy Fruit Snacks (Dinosaur shaped, Kroger brand), Bread, Cheese, and Salted meats. Speed might be slower than normal on Strava due to the snack weight, can of whoop-ass, and celebratory Miller High Lifes.”<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Shane, Wax Wizard<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

“Back in college, my buddies and I would get Taco Bell 12 packs and cram as many as we could in our pockets. I would also mix top-ramen flavor packets into small bags of tortilla chips for an “on the go” snack. Once I realized my sodium intake was absolutely through the roof I began to switch it up. Now, one of my favorite backcountry meals is those little squeeze pouches of apple sauce<\/a> made for toddlers with the occasional Jolly Rancher to keep my mouth from drying up.”<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Ian, Ski-Tech Extraordinaire<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

“Fig bars on the skin track. Always rolling with fig bars. For the summit, I like to have overnight oats mixed in peanut butter for the sugar boost, sustenance, and taste!”<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
