How is it going everybody my name is Hayley and welcome back to Set To Hike. This is a channel
that is all about hiking and in today's video i'm going to show you what food I will be taking along
for an eight day hike. This is the most amount of food that i've ever carried in my pack before
so wish me luck. We shall start with breakfast. I have the exact same thing for breakfast every
single day except for one day. So my breakfast is toasted muesli with vanilla protein powder,
I also have a tiny little teaspoon of some milk powder as well. This is just a home brand muesli
it's got a few little bits of fruit and a few little bits of nuts. So the very first day i will
have breakfast at home then I have six of these and the last remaining day of breakfast i have
quick oats with some chia seeds some milk powder some more protein powder, but this one is banana
and honey flavoured. I thought that that flavour would go quite well with oats. Normally i don't
cook breakfast of a morning because i'm quite satisfied with my muesli but it also means
because i cook on an alcohol stove i don't have to bring as much fuel to cook breakfasts of a
morning. But i thought i would change it up for at least one morning. Then on to lunch. Unlike
breakfast i can't eat the same thing for lunch every day so i've tried to mix it up a little bit.
For two days worth of lunch i will be having some camembert and some crackers so i'll just split
the crackers in half split the cheese in half. Another day of lunch i will have this tuna sachet
with some wraps. And then while we're on the tuna train, i will have these rosemary crackers.
If you've never tried these do it. but i will be having these rosemary crackers
and some more tuna on top. Now this is something that i have not done before so i'm trying it out.
This concoction here, i bought one of those like baby food pouches it's double ziplocked up the
top. So I have put hazelnut butter in here and I intend to have hazelnut butter on wraps for two
days worth of lunch. So the nut butters that i have, i put both of these in and combined them
together. So this is like your classic healthy nut butter it's full of all different kinds of nuts
with like a little chocolatey spin and then i have your poor man's nutella, for pretty much
the sugar. So hopefully this goes to plan, it looks pretty sturdy. I know that we in Australia
kind of have trouble getting those small little sachets of different nut butters so
i think this might be a nice cheaper alternative. Then for one last day of lunch i have two minute
noodles. I have never taken too minute noodles on a hike ever, I don't know how i've gotten away
with it for so many years. For some reason i think it's going to go down quite well on this trip.
and the first day of lunch i will probably take a salad roll i probably won't start hiking until
about midday at least just because it takes so long to get there. So that is my lunches. Now
onto dinner. I have something completely different every single night for dinner
so some of them are my own dehydrated recipes and some are bought. So in no particular order
one dinner will be sort of like this beef mince kind of thing it's got beef mince, peas,
spinach, kidney beans, tomato paste, mushrooms and then i will eat that with mashed potato.
Another nights dinner i have chickpea curry. So that's got onion, chickpeas, cauliflower, beans,
tomato paste and all the curry spices in there and again i will have that with mashed potato.
Another night's dinner i have some Pho apologies if i don't pronounce that correctly but this has
got some rice noodles, pak choy, spring onion, ginger, mushrooms, spinach i tend to put spinach
and mushrooms in absolutely everything when i make my own dehydrated food. Three out of
these four recipes are on this youtube channel and i'll always have more coming. The other
dehydrated recipe i have is some vegetable quinoa again mushroom, spinach, it's got capsicum,
eggplant and a few little spices in there as well. For two of the nights the backcountry
cuisine I have vegetarian stir-fry flavour and roast chicken. The final night of dinner
i have one of the alfredo pasta packets. With that i will put dried peas and dried mushrooms and then
i have some milk powder in there as well. In the snacks section we have trail mix. This is probably
the most luxurious trail mix that i've ever made so it has pecans, walnuts, some pistachios,
some cashews, some almonds, peanuts, got some mini cherry ripes, some dates and some snickers
pods. Sometimes i forget snickers pods exist and then when i remember it's a good day. So i have
pretty much three days worth of trail mix in this bag and four days worth of trail mix in this bag.
I put them in separate bags just so i have to make myself finish one bag before i open
the new one so i don't keep eating all the chocolate and leave the nuts. Onto muesli bars,
i have these bare naked bars these are pretty similar to cliff bars but maybe slightly better
they only have two flavours though they have like a peanut butter flavour and this chocolate one.
They have 20 grams of protein as well and they're quite filling normally i can only get through
half of one per day so I just have two of those. More muesli bars these are homemade i have the
recipe on this channel as well but these have got coconut, and dates, honey, protein powder,
oats, cinnamon and some more good stuff so i have three of those. In the little chocolate stash
we have a cherry ripe, snickers bar and i have some lint dark chocolate that has
cranberry almond inside of it. For some reason on all my hikes i always bring some shapes. Pretty
much like bringing chips except they're not going to disintegrate in your bag. Shall we start a
fight in the comments section about which flavour shapes are best because barbecue is the worst.
Then i have some chocolate chip cookies i have rationed myself two per day. I have this.
This is freeze-dried mango and freeze-dried peach. One thing i really crave a lot on a longer hike is
fresh fruit but i never really want to carry it so freeze-dried fruit is amazing. The brand that
i use are these guys here called Wild Colonial they are based in Western Australia and if you
check out their website they've got like heaps of cool things they even have like yogurt that
you could bring on a hike. They are literally just 100% the fruit so if you want to take some fresh
fruit on your hike check out Wild Colonial. Then i have in my little sidekick area i have
some powerade powder just a big tub that i get and put it into a ziploc bag. I also have one little
serving of some chai powder with powdered milk in there and then i have one serving of protein
hot chocolate with some milk powder in there as well. So when i say protein hot chocolate i am
trying out this brand called True so this is the protein powder that i have that's everywhere and
they make a hot chocolate drink and it tastes like hot chocolate. I will be
carrying some hydrolyte tablets i've got about six tablets in here. The final thing is a little
soup packet so that's the continental brand. And all that food or as much as it will fit i'll be
carrying in this food bag by Ultralight Hiker they're a little company in Melbourne. That's
it all the food for an eight day hike, i hope this video is helpful to you in some way if you want to
