Backpacking Meals: Cold Soaking Recipes

For my most recent hike on the Hayduke I took the time to research, experiment, and premake cold soaking meals for the trail. I choose to cold soak in order to save the weight of a stove since my pack would be heavier than other hikes due to increase in gear and water carries. I mostly do not eat meat and try to eat vegan when I can. The following meals are what I ate for two months on trail, with ramen included for 4 different dinners.

BREAKFAST

DINNER

I’m always trying to improve my backpacking meals and to eat a more healthy, nutritional diet on trail rather than just ramen and instant potatoes. So if you’ve got some cold soaking recipes, please share, I’m always interested in what others are eating on trail.
