Trail Cooking

If you are on a low sodium diet, don't despair. There is quite a bit you can eat when in the outdoors. You just have to think your menus out, and plan well. If there are ingredients you cannot find, drop us an email, we can tell you where to find them.  When I was first put on a low sodium diet, I had no idea what I could eat. But as the months went by, I found that I could eat almost everything I liked, I just had to change the recipes a bit. This has helped when backpacking with others not on a special diet.

There are a couple types of cozies on the market for sale. Some insulate bowls, cooking pots or are made for freezer bag style.

This is one of the cooler DIY projects I have seen in a long time. The cheezy music you might want to turn down though unless you feel like channeling 80's elevator music.

A tiny pack of spices and herbs that you can customize to what you want and like, having the ability to rotate flavors in and out? Ability to have a set for Italian? Thai? Mexi? Low sodium flavors? Have it affordable and easy even for those with DIY skills to make? Sure!

#1 Spice Shop/Bulk Bins:
The bulk spice & herb section. Check for this in gourmet grocery stores and health food/co-op stores. Cities often have spice shops as well.

So you are hiking and realize you haven't a eating utensil (ie...broke it, lost, forgot it). So what to do?

You pull out a zip tie and your duct tape.
