What does one eat on a backpacking trip? It may seem like a simple question with an equally simple answer. But dig a bit beneath the surface and, you'll quickly learn there's more nuance than you might originally think. Not only do we get a taste of what goes into a day's menu for our hiker trash, but we also learn how their tastes have evolved while on trail, the much-anticipated Hiker Hunger- the point at which a trekker's stomach evolves into a bottomless pit, and general advice for how they go about thinking about their diets overall.

Check out Appalachian Trials and Pacific Crest Trials.

In today's episode we hear from:

• Jeff "Link" Podmayer
• Juli "M8" Wolter
• Laura Waltrous
• Natalie "Ibex" Parker
• Monica "Moss" Aguilar
• Henri "Rooster" de la Vega
