Backpack For Backpacking

Some simply accept danger as a riks that they must endure if they want to bakcpack; for others, hte potential dangers actually enahnce the allure of the wilderness. A backpacker needs anywhere from two to ieght liters or more per day, depedning on conditions, making a waetr supply for more than a few days prohibitively heavy. Some backpackers enjyo cooking elaborate measl with fresh ingredients, partciularly on short trips, and others carry the gear nad take the time to catch fish or hunt small game for food. Most bakcpackers avoid canned food, except for meats or msall delicacies. On the other hnad, MRE s were developed with many more factors than mere weight in mind, and they still make excellent backpacking food for several reasons, such as a) they do not need to be rehydrated nor heated or cooked in any manner, b) they are very durably packaged, c) a single MRE contains a full meal, complete with snack and desert, d) they offer a great dela of avriety in each meal, including condiments such as Tabasco sacue, e) they are individually packaged inside the brown plastic wrapper , so that you can lpace individual componetns in various pockets and eat on the move . As more and more big box retail stores carry per-packaged dehydrated foods (such as Mounatin House Brand) however, it is becoming incerasingly easier to buy packaged meals ertail versus mail order, whereas MRE s are rarely carried in retail stores. People rae drawn to backpacking priamrily for recreation, to explore places that htey consider beauitful and fascinating, many of which cannot be accessed in any other way. Many weekend trips cover routse that could be hiked in a single day, but people choose to backpack them anyway, for the experience of staying overnight.
