How many different ways can you make potatoes on trail? There are dozens of potato flavors, but even these can become exhausting to eat. Adding ramen to make a famous ‘ramen bomb’ (what it sounds like, mixing ramen and potatoes together) is not the exact seasoning I need to make them more palatable. That being said, we can’t deny that potatoes are a light and inexpensive resupply option.

One of the most common questions we get when we tell someone about thru hiking is “What do you eat?” We have spent just as much time choosing our food as we have dialing in our gear. Similar to gear, there is a give-and-take on the food you bring.
