trail food

Backpacker's packed meals

Trail food is portable, calorie-dense food carried for eating during hiking, backpacking, or other outdoor activities.

The term encompasses everything from trail mix and energy bars to freeze-dried meals.

Good trail food balances nutrition, weight, and durability: We packed enough trail food for a week in the backcountry.
