Sneak a sweet in your pack, then whip it out at camp or on the trail. You’ll be a hero. Homemade brownies travel well, as do cookies. Package them in smash-proof plastic. Hot chocolate is good during cooler times. Avoid candy bars, as they can turn into a melty mess.
The most important things are the adventures and your backcountry experiences. Develop your own style in everything that you do. There’s no reason you can’t enjoy what you normally eat, and even look to it as a reward at the end of an exciting and challenging day on the trail. After all, an army travels on its stomach. So does a hiker.
