Just wondering what some of your multiday meal suggestions might be for a kayak self support trip!

I've got a few go-tos, but I'd like to widen my meal options. I'm mostly looking for meals I can put together at home, then can just add water to on the river.

Any meal tricks are appreciated also!

Thanks!!

I go pretty basic with a lot of the ready made meals that you can buy at safe way. Think risotto in the package, or annies mac and cheese. I typically take the pasta out of the box and put it in a bag and bring a small bag of powdered milk and a couple pads of butter. The dehydrated "just add water meals" are ok but over priced and since your not carrying it around weight shouldn't be your number one consideration for a paddling trip.

A heavy boat is a bit slower to go but there have been plenty of holes I've come out that back of because of a heavy rig.

Dufay turned me onto dubliner cheese which I've found keeps well unrefrigerated, and has a bit more kick.

Also, if your not going to be carrying your boat into the put in don't be afraid to have a little water weight. Fruit and other things that I wouldn't want to hike with are great for a self support trip where you don't have to carry and isn't low volume creeking.

For booze I try and mix it up with beer if there is space, wine, and gin and tonics. The wine has a little more octane than the beer and you don't need to carry as much to get your swerve on. Public service, the wine/ gin and tonic combo is best done on a day when you are still well hydrated otherwise you'll be Dick Down in the dirt before the fire goes out.

Have Fun out there.

Also, tequila and limes. :)

YUM!! Thanks for the ideas!!
