Backpacking with vegan foods

[Guest guest]

Kenya;

I backpack both for work and for fun, so I do have some thoughts on

this. On the plus side, vegan foods do not go bad as fast as things

with lots of fats and oils in them, so you can take almost anything.

The down side is that fresh veggies don't do too well if it gets very

hot, so dried veggies come in handy. Dried hummus (just mix with

water) works great for lunch-time sandwiches. I guess, like with meat-

based foods for backpacking, the key is dried foods (IMO, anyway).

Several companies even make veggie/vegan dried meals, to which you

merely add hot water and cook a bit. I am a big fan of couscous

myself. Can't forget the Clif Bars, of course. Hopefully that helps.

If not, I can be much more detailed (painfully so), if you wish.

cheese but I'm working on that. Eggs wasn't too hard either.

I will be going back packing in August for about 3 days and besides

fruits I don't know what else to bring with me. I don't think we will

be cooking (if we cook) during the day only when we settle for the

night.
