006 | Food To Fuel Your Backpack Hunts
In this episode, Mark and Steve discuss the food that they use to fuel their backcountry hunts. They show that a little bit of thought, research, and analysis will allow you to not only ensure you're meeting the nutritional demands of backcountry hunting, but also allow you to do it by carrying no more than 1.5lbs of food per day. They discuss the key facts that you need to know about a food's weight and caloric density. For example, did you know that there's typically 4 calories per gram of carbohydrate and protein, but 9 calories per gram of fat? You will also hear what their daily menu looks like. And you can find that menu on the Pure Elevation blog at: http://pure-elevation.com/blog/
