Mela Eckenfels's List: TrekkingFood

"Trekking is hard. Walking around for hours, sometime a few days in a row, with heavy gear on your back, takes a lot of energy. The body has two ways to get energy during a trek: sleep & Food. Although sleep is pretty easy (especially after a day of trekking), trekking food is practically a science."

"Pull up a stump.\n\nWe're talking backpacking food.\n\nWhat smells so good in that pot? That's my Rockin' Root Stew boiling up… yams, parsnips, turnips, and rutabaga with a dash of curry and cinnamon. Try some.\n\nThat pot in the photo belonged to my grandpa. When I was a boy, grandpa took me along on fishing trips to the Eastern Canadian wilderness and showed me how to fillet a walleye without cutting my fingers off. When grandpa passed on, I inherited his pots, fishing gear, a sharp knife, an old Bible, and a passion for wild places and good grub.\n\nWhat's your story? Does your passion for communing with nature persuade you to strap on a pack, walk for days and miles, and cook like a hobo over a flaming tuna fish can? If so, then you've found the right place. Grab your spoon and come on in. "

"Welcome to the most comprehensive site on the internet dedicated to Living History, Historical (or Period) Trekking, Experimental Archeology, and Experiential Anthropology, of the 1600 to 1840 time period. This is a site dedicated to the evolution of our hobby. Please take the time to visit each section of the site and add your own input to it.

Q: What is Historical Trekking?
A: Historical Trekking (also called Period Trekking, Experimental Archeology, or Experiential Anthropology) is a hobby where we as 21st century people attempt a task someone in our chosen time period would have done, using only the tools and equipment they would have used, or the knowledge we have gleaned from research. Whether you are interested in the Longhunter of the 18th Century and you are out on a hunt using only period clothing and flintlock, or if your interest lies in the Mountainman of the 19th Century, and you want to use period traps to try and catch beaver, even if your interest is in cooking, and you limit yourself to the kitchen-ware and foods of your chosen period and a bed of coals for heat, yet you never leave your house, you are involved with the hobby of Historical Trekking. This hobby gives us more insight into the daily lives of the people in our chosen time period, and helps to make us better historians."
