Food for a 2 person, 8 day canoe trip
I was putting together some food for an eight day canoe trip in Algonquin Provincial Park and thought I might as well take ten minutes to put it on tape and toss it up on good ‘ol YouTube. Hopefully it will give some ideas for other canoe trippers or hikers out there as well as inspire some fellow trippers to fire some off their own favorite recipes for me to try out on the trail.
As I mention in this video, this is more food than required but makes for a comfortable trip. When I do solo tripping I tend to bring much less but when going with friends I’d rather be 100% positive we’ll have enough. I don’t mind being a little hungry if I packed on the light side for food but I don’t like others to suffer for having less food than they’re comfortable with.
Btw, due to the amount of gear and food and having a 16′ boat, my dog Maddy (aka The Goose) sat this trip out. She was sadly missed and will be joining me on future outings for certain.
Cheers,
Troy

Way cool NEVER and …
Way cool NEVER and I mean NEVER travel light solider! the old days of “if you can’t truck it then…you know” lol are gone. I am no longer in the Army and I am all about the comfort of camping. I had my in the grass with just the clothes on my back and I can say it was not fun. I love the outdoors and I still camp but with a hole lot more flare!! good vid keep up the good work.

We didn’t come back …
We didn’t come back with too much but we were pretty much stuffed the whole trip lol. We did bring too much and I have been adjusting the food on an ongoing basis. I pretty much have it dialed in at this point and have been intending to add some comments (annotations) to this video to detail the changes I’ve made. I find it’s much easier to do the food when soloing since I know I’m the only one who will suffer if I don’t get it quite right. When going with someone else, I tend to overcompensate.

The dehydrator I …
The dehydrator I use is a 9 tray Excalibur that costs about $250.00. I actually got it from a restaurant in exchange for some help with their computer systems. Although I would highly recommend it I hear you can get away with using your oven on a very low setting. Using the dehydrator just makes it a no brainer and you can do a whack of food pretty quick with nine trays.
Good, economical …
Good, economical ideas for light weight food. How much was your dehydrator and what brand/size do you use?
Thanks for the tip …
Thanks for the tip on the applesauce Troy… tried it at home last week and it was great! It’s coming on all of my trips from now on. I’ll have to try the tip on wrapping the pasta in paper towel as well as my dehydrated hamburger as the vacuum seal has been broken by sharp edges.
Happy camping!
