Hi,
February is when cold and shoulder-season trips really test your food choices. Meals that worked in summer don’t always perform the same when temperatures drop. It doesn't matter if it's breakfasts, lunches, dinners, or snacks!
This month’s note focuses on food that holds up when conditions aren’t ideal.
Featured recipe
Chocolate Biscotti for Camping and Backpacking
Biscotti is one of those rare trail foods that checks a lot of boxes: shelf-stable, packable, calorie-dense, and reliable in cold weather. It doesn’t crumble easily, travels well, and works just as well with a hot drink as it does on the move.

A practical note for this month
In colder conditions, durability matters as much as flavour. Foods that stay intact, don’t freeze solid, and don’t require precise preparation tend to perform best on winter and shoulder-season trips. Snacks like the featured Biscotti recipe are a perfect example because they hold up well.
More recipes and updates are coming steadily. This newsletter will stay monthly and easy to read.
