The most important meal of the day on your hiking trip will be your breakfast. This is because a hearty breakfast gives you energy for the entire day. It gets your metabolism going and is more important than lunch or dinner. Without breakfast you run the risk of fatigue, dizziness and lack of concentration.
Your hiking gear should be able to fit enough food rations in it to last for as long as you are traveling. Although cooking in the outdoors is possible, it’s unlikely you will want to take any sort of breakfast grill to cook your hiking breakfast with.
