Have you come back from a backpacking trip with way too much food leftover in your food bag? I know I have. My biggest struggle when it comes to backpacking has always been overpacking my food…for every single trip I go on. So for my next overnight backpacking trip, I decided to try something different. I used Backcountry Foodie to put together a backpacking meal plan for my trip and see if I can NOT overpack my food for once. #backpacking #backpackingfood #backpackingmeals…

Backpackers eat weird stuff.

an info sheet describing the different types of backpacking and hiking lunch ideas for kids

So here are 17+ no cook backpacking lunch ideas that are NOT just snack bars. I like to divvy these lunch ideas into two categories. The first is our more challenging one of mostly non-perishable items, lighter weight and no-cook lunches good for multi-day backpacking or bikepacking that aren’t just snacks or bars. The second category is the easier category which is basically day hike lunch ideas or your first (or second, depending) day of backpacking. #backpacking #lunch #camping #hiking
