Backpacking Food Mistake: Don't Make This Weight Error

I planned a budget-friendly food menu for a 4-day backpacking trip. I bought the food, packed the bag, and felt great about saving money on freeze-dried meals. Then I picked up my food bag — and realized I made a classic backpacking mistake. In this video, I break down exactly what I packed, why my grocery-store food strategy backfired, and what I'm doing differently next time. If you're trying to save money on backpacking food, watch this before you pack. ⬇️ GEAR & FOOD I USE ⬇️ 🧂 LMNT Electrolytes (my trail go-to) → https://elementallabs.refr.cc/default... 🍖 Peak Refuel Freeze-Dried Meals → https://a.co/d/06JADoz6 Links above are affiliate links.
