How three Aussie hikers solved the trail nutrition problem the rest of us just accepted
Trail food is a special kind of chaos. Oats for breakfast, tuna for lunch, something beige, salty, and barely dissolved in water for dinner. Most of us call it fuel and just get on with it. Ultimately, when you’re counting ounces, and carrying it for miles, flavor is optional, and nutrients are negotiable.
