Reducing waste with bushwalk foods
Posted: Tue 08 May, 2018 12:45 pm
G'day
Only been in the game for a short while (many here have been out walking since before I was a twinkle in the eye, yet I'm early 40's!) and I was quick to notice the amount of extra plastic waste that can be created by repackaging and in the pursuit to reduce weight on the food side of things.
Who has some good tips?
Here is one of mine, gleaned from a friend. I don't have 240V so using a dehydrator is not an option:
*Plastic jars. I put a muesli and milk powder in a jar. Just add water and shake for breakfast. OK for 2-3 brekkies. Also use one for biscuits, this pic is two Kingston's and 11 wafers. Nutritional value is close to most muesli bars and so much cheaper.
Rinse and re-use next walk.
Cheers
