Fuel Up Backpacking

Started by Lizzy

Getting out there

I unlocked the ability to really push myself in the mountains when I started fueling myself right. Planning with better hydration, electrolytes, and calories (which especially at elevation!) can be hard but figuring this out let me meet goals and tackle peaks I previously wouldn’t have been able to.

My goal is to help other people find tasty options to fuel themselves better in the backcountry.

I have an autoimmune disease that limits my dietary options and found it difficult to find ideas and options to meal plan with. And it was so hard to figure out what freeze dried meals actually tasted good so I wanted to help others not waste their time and money.

You can find me outside mostly in California! I fell in love with the Eastern Sierra’s and am currently embarking on a mission to climb all of California’s 14ers.
