Packing food for a through hike with a teenage boy is a challenge…he’s in the fridge every 5 minutes, and carrying the fridge on our back would be a wee bit heavy 🙂

So here is the food that Lucas and I decided to pack for our K’gari Great Walk, which we plan to complete over 6 days/5 nights. Aurora videoed us packing our rations and put a clip together.  We used the music ‘Tengo Hambre’ (I’m hungry’), from Basho and Friends, as it is catchy and why not learn a bit of Spanish 🙂 Basho and Friends have lots of language learning very catchy songs…we learned a lot of Mandarin with them 🙂

For brekky we made packs of oats, coconut milk powder, cranberries and chopped nuts.  All we have to do is add hot water for our nutritious start to the day. For lunch we have wraps, chicken/tuna spread and peanut butter.  For dinner we have pasta meals, a cous cous meal and a rice dish, which we will add sachet tuna to.  We also have a cuppa soup for supper each night.  For snacks we have our own trail mix, muesli bars, and our own home made dehydrated fruit roll ups and bananas.

All up the total weight of our food for 6 days/5 nights for 2 people is 6.2kg!!!!!!!

Next is to weigh all our other gear!
