Often, there are no shops nearby to grab that ingredient you left behind \u2013 and you don\u2019t have the luxury of a 450-litre fridge for loads of food. It\u2019s important to prepare well.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, don\u2019t discount the idea of freeze-dried or dehydrated food as simple camp food options. Despite what you may have heard \u2013 their ingredients are <em>real food<\/em>, they usually taste pretty good, and they are easy to prepare! These options also have long shelf lives, require no refrigeration, and are compact \u2013 so you can stock up ahead of time in preparation for last-minute adventures.<\/p>\n<p>Below, I\u2019ve covered some straightforward methods to meal planning, as well as some of the quick, simple, and lightweight options on the market today.

Do you need lots of ingredients to be kept cold? Remember, you\u2019ll need space for beer, wine, and other drinks. Minimise what needs to be refrigerated, and look for non-perishable alternatives.

Once again, for more info on how to plan lightweight meals better suited to hiking, check out this blog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Let us now run through the pros and cons of the lightweight options: freeze-dried, dehydrated, and wet-pack food.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Freeze-Dried Meals<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>How Are They Made?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/hiking-food\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Freeze-dried meals<\/a> are rapidly frozen, where the ice crystals in the food are evaporated to water vapour in a vacuum chamber via a process called \u2018sublimation\u2019. This removes more moisture than dehydrating does.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The food is then heat-sealed into foil packages, and the air is both removed and replaced with nitrogen gas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">These products have a shelf life of up to three years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Water is quickly absorbed back into the food through pores left by the escaping ice crystals.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Food is prepared quickly in approximately 10 minutes using with hot water.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Food does not shrink.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Food retains much of its original shape, taste, texture, and smell.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Vitamins are retained in the food due to the low temperatures applied in processing.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Food can be eaten without re-hydrating, if necessary.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">The freeze-drying process removes up to 98% of moisture from the product. On average, fruit contains up to 90% water, so freeze-dried foods are extremely lightweight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Their labelling indicates a gourmet, home-cooked meal \u2013 and whilst the flavour is pretty good, their consistency is nonetheless best eaten with a spoon.<\/li>\n<li>Extra water should be considered for food preparation, and this is especially important when lightweight hiking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-36318 size-full\" title=\"These meals give you plenty of calories without the weight.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Campers-Pantry-Beef-Teriyaki.jpg\" alt=\"Person holding a spoon of Campers Pantry Beef Teriyaki\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Campers-Pantry-Beef-Teriyaki.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Campers-Pantry-Beef-Teriyaki-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Campers-Pantry-Beef-Teriyaki-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Campers-Pantry-Beef-Teriyaki-10x7.jpg 10w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Freeze-dried meals are light and packed with energy.

These products usually carry a 12-month shelf life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can be done at home with relatively affordable equipment.<\/li>\n<li>As the food shrivels, it is a better space-saving method for storing or transporting food than freeze-dried alternatives (which retains much of its original shape).<\/li>\n<li>Generally less expensive than freeze-dried foods.<\/li>\n<li>While dehydrating food does not remove quite as much water as the freeze-drying method, it is still a very lightweight option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Requires cooking\/simmering to prepare, and 10-20 minutes in hot water.<\/li>\n<li>As more heat is applied in the drying process in comparison to freeze-drying, it is believed that dehydrated food has a slightly lower nutritional value than freeze-dried foods.<\/li>\n<li>Can have a chewy texture when rehydrated.<\/li>\n<li>Extra water needs to be considered to prepare food, and this is especially important when lightweight hiking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>For more on how to dehydrate your own food, check out our chat with ecologist and YouTuber Dr. Kate Grarock on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/podcast-dehydrating-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Snowys Camping Show podcast<\/a>:<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ep 55 - Food For Adventure\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NqrUWx_5AtU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>We chat more about how to dehydrate your own food with Dr. Kate Grarock.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-36320 size-full\" title=\"Dehydrated food is nice and light, but the texture isn\u2019t always great.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/STS-Lachlan-LamingtonNP-STS-WEB-4-5.jpg\" alt=\"Hikers cooking freeze-dried food in the dark\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/STS-Lachlan-LamingtonNP-STS-WEB-4-5.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/STS-Lachlan-LamingtonNP-STS-WEB-4-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/STS-Lachlan-LamingtonNP-STS-WEB-4-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/STS-Lachlan-LamingtonNP-STS-WEB-4-5-10x7.jpg 10w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>You can buy dehydrated food from the supermarket, or make your own.
