7. Fast and light tips
When going on longer trips or where we can't wash up we tend to eat directly from the bag. If you do this make sure to use sturdy bags, we use Ikea 400ml ones.
We often like to eat breakfast after doing an hour or so hiking, it helps to break up the mornings and means we are faster out of camp. Often we wait until we get the first direct sunlight in the mountains.
