On this episode we discuss the concept of “Cold Soaking” your food while backpacking on the trail. Is it worth it? What VALUE does it give? Is it healthy and ULTIMATELY, does it offer you the endurance for putting in those additional miles like all the YouTubers say it does?

What we talk about:

• Beware of backpacking trends that have 0 value
• Calories YES, bad calories NO. A lard of butter has a lot of calories
• YouTubers always forget about Nutrition on the trail
• Why would you NOT want to give yourself a mental boost?
• Coffee in the morning changes the game.
