Snacks

For snacks you can't go past the traditional Scroggin!  Available premade in supermarket bulk bins (Pak'n'Sav's mix is highly recommended) it is like a multi-stage rocket, with chocolate for a quick boost, dried fruit for slightly slower release and nuts for longer, sustained release!

Muesli bars also work quite well for food on the go!

Breakfast

The most important meal of the day, and definitely not optional when tramping!

Porridge

The tramping staple is porridge, to make it tastier add some dried fruit, sultanas etc.  For quicker cooking time prepare it the night before and leave to soak, in the morning it will just need a quick heat.

Cereal

Bringing some of your favourite cereal from home works well, although avoid the high sugar ones that have little substance.  Muesli is a good choice.  Use milk powder instead of liquid milk, it won't go off and is much lighter!

Lunch

There are many options here, for day and overnight trips a packed lunch of sandwiches/filled rolls (like what your mum used to make you for school!) is great.  For longer trips bread tends to get squashed and fillings go off so other ideas are needed.
