Thread: Lunch on the Trails.. What do you eat??

    Default Lunch on the Trails.. What do you eat??

    Will be taking my first trip to Moab in a month or so and was curious to what you eat out on the trail for lunch? I say lunch because i have plenty of ideas for dinner once camp is set up, I was wondering about quick ( but filling) meals... so i dont have to drag out the stove every time.

    only ideas i have so far are PB & J, ham & cheese sam's...

    WHAT ELSE????

    If it's a day trip, then I sometimes get an extra breakfast sandwich during breakfast and throw it in the cooler for lunch.

    I sometimes break out a can of decent soup. Heat it? Naw, it's fine cold but then again, I'm a low maintenance kinda guy.

    Burrito's are also good.

    I tend to munch all day long on the trail: fruit, cheese and crackers, nuts, carrots, chocolate, ... If/when I eat an official 'lunch' it is usually PBJ, meat/cheese sandwich, left over dinner rolled in a tortilla, and more of the above.

    I usually call snacks all day lunch. Pop tarts, M&M's, Fruit, baby carrots, cashew's, but if I have to have something substantial I always go for the lunchmeat sandwich. Quick energy? Nothing beats a Snickers.

    Ham and cheese in aluminum foil. Place it in the engine compartment before you for a few minutes, melt the cheese and all, and mmmmmmm tasty.

    Sometimes, before I head out. I make meat sandwiches at home and put them in sandwich containers. They fit very well in my cooler this way, and they don't get crushed.

    It makes lunch quick and easy on the trail. You can sit down right away and enjoy your views, without getting out all the fixn's and messing around.
