Outdoor Nutrition: From hiking snacks to backcountry cooking

Sick of eating GORP, granola bars, and protein bars on the trail. Ever wonder how many calories you need and tasty ways to deliver them when you’re active outside? Then join us at Sports Basement to learn about:

* Nutrition for active days
* Hydration, electrolytes, caffeine and more
* Summit treats and naughty snacks
* Car camp cooking vs back country meals
* Freeze dried vs DIY recipes
* Budget and bougie mess kit options
* Resources for recipes, cookbooks, and ingredients
* Food storage in the wild, bear cans and LNT
* Food preservation, food safety, and spoilage
* Upset stomach, headaches, and appetite issues

There will be many items on display as well as items to sample.

As usual, Sports basement offers snacks and drinks as well as discount coupons for those in attendance. Invite and bring your friends and family.

Trail statistics are approximate. For safety purposes always assume they are underestimated. But don’t be disappointed if they are overestimated. Bring more water and snacks than you think you’ll need.

Trail descriptions are based on previous hikes. Current conditions are unknown until arrival. Expect the unexpected and plan accordingly.

The Organizers and members of Hiking With Dean are not professional leaders, guides, or mountaineers. The function of the member or organizer is only to organize the trip. Each person who shows up for a trip/meetup (and their guest or guests) is responsible for his or her own safety.
