Food & Drinks
How much food should you carry when hiking? Most walkers need 200-300 calories per hour of moderate activity, rising on cold or high-mileage days. Dehydrated meals deliver complete evening nutrition in pouches under 200g, suited to backpacking and wild camping where pack weight is a factor. Energy gels and chews provide rapid carbohydrate release for trail runners and cyclists during sustained effort, and electrolyte tablets replace sodium and minerals lost through perspiration on hot or extended days out.
New to the trail? Start with a mix: one dehydrated meal for evening camp, a few bars for steady energy, and gels for tougher climbs or final pushes. Shop the full range of snacks, camping meals and energy drinks below, and prepare for your next expedition.
