You can take most foods backpacking, but itā€™s best to stick with foods that are portable, lightweight, and not too bulky. Fortunately, there are ways to take backpacking versions of your favorite mealā€”from burrito bowlsĀ toĀ tuna noodle casseroleā€”whether you dehydrate the meal at home,Ā buy ready-to-eat dehydrated mealsĀ that only require adding hot water, or assemble your meal from a mixture of fresh and dry ingredients.Ā
