Instant pudding: win

As some of you may know, getting enough calories on the trail is very important. I told someone recently that now food is more like firewood to me, and I don’t care about the taste very much. One way backpackers judge which foods to bring is by caloric density–the ratio of weight to calories.

My favorite: instant pudding. Add a little powdered milk and it’s an ultralight way to get 700 calories. The first night I made it (before I tasted it, mind you), I offered some to other hikers. The second night, I huddled over it with my multi-tool in hand.

Vanilla pudding. I think the dirty pants and hairy legs are a nice backdrop.

All I am saying is that you probably shouldn’t look at my armpits then.
