While backpacking and exploring the country-side, there is a
piece of gear I refuse to compromise on- food. Leaving the comforts of
civilization behind does not mean you have to eat bland foods every day.
While I may not have the lightest of packs, I am on the
lighter side compared to half the people I meet on the trail. I spend time,
money, and effort in cutting out extra grams from my gear, but not just to
carry less weight. I do it because for every gram I cut from my pack is another
gram of food I can bring. Since my
recent indulgence on getting lighter gear, I felt I could splurge even more on
food, allowing me to experiment some. In my most recent trip to Yosemite, I
decided to try some new foods out.
