I don't do keto, but I recommend packets of salmon or tuna, and summer sausage. Sharp cheddar cheese and asiago cheese (among others) hold up very well, especially if you keep them in a cool spot as much as possible. I also carried a pouch of chicken for our chicken soup this year. I use a lot of TVP (texturized vegetable protein) for other meals. Dehydrate loads of vegetables yourself and add them to all your meals. We dehydrated mushrooms, tomatoes, kale, corn, carrots, peas, and more this year. Make your own trail mix with just seeds, nuts, and dried fruit that has no sugar added. Trader Joe's is a really good source for dried blueberries, pineapple, mango, apples, oranges, and more that is NOT all caked in sugar like most commercial dried fruit. And no BW lunch is complete without a couple pieces of dark chocolate. I tend to base meals around lentils, mung beans, or wild rice rather than white rice or pasta. Putting together your own recipes will also allow you to better control the amount of sodium if that is a concern. |

This was my personal experience, but I was not a happy camper. I did not crave these types of foods whatsoever in the backcountry. I had to force myself to choke down the high-protein, low-carb items and I felt nauseated. I made a huge ugly batch of guacamole on the mosquito-infested shores of Birch Lake on a very hot day just to use up every avocado I had. I was tired of carrying them. I ate that whole batch in one sitting. Yuck. Most of the jerky I brought went straight to my two dogs. I could barely look at it. I wished for granola, trail mix, mac & cheese, cereal, crackers. By the time I got to Knife Lake on the third day, I was very sick to my stomach... But again-- my personal experience. I just found that my appetite in the BWCA changed from my appetite back home... |
