1. Compressed Biscuits
Although compressed biscuits don’t taste very good, they are highly effective at curbing hunger. So, if you’re not out for a luxurious self-guided trip, compressed biscuits are one of the essential basic staples. Some people might prefer soft and fluffy bread, but its bulky volume takes up too much space. It might be okay for a one-day outing, but for three or four days, you’d have to carry a whole backpack full of bread. As for instant noodles, they are certainly tastier than compressed biscuits, but you’d also need to bring a stove and gas canister, which adds several more items to your load. So, all things considered, compressed biscuits are the more practical choice.


In summary, compressed biscuits and energy bars are suitable for medium to high-intensity outdoor activities, while beef jerky and chocolate are better for lighter outdoor outings. Next time you go out, choose your food based on the intensity of your activity~
