Backpacking

Serafim asked:


I usually go with oatmeal, ramen, and trail mix as my staples, but I am doing a 7 day backpacking trip with my friends, and I can’t live off of that stuff for that long.

What are some of your favorite (lightweight) backpacking foods?

baozur asked:


I’ve been assigned to assist my friend with planning our meals for the trip, but I have absolutely no idea what to look for. We have to limit our budget to $4 per meal or $12 per day. A little help?
I forgot to mention we’re making a camp fire. Also we’re going to Yellowstone Nat Park. And um anything about lunch and dinner or are the suggestions that were posted before 4:50PM good enough?

How many countries can you see in Europe if you are backpacking through for about 1 -2 1/2 months during the summer. Being able to spend time and explore and enjoy each place, not just blow through it.

Looking for a camera that is thin and lightweight first.
Long battery life, good to great image quality, 4x or more optical zoom if possible, and ability to use high capacity memory card (such as 16GB SDHC).
I am planning a very long backpacking trip starting April 2009, and packing as light as possible. Anybody have good digital camera suggestion?

I’m planning on going as long as my money will take me. How much would you recommend for a 1-2 month trip?
