Hi, I'm Aaron
with my sidekick, Ella.
I help backpackers (like you!) make homemade ultralight recipes and meal plan with ease so you can spend less time, money and effort preparing for your adventures.
As a registered dietitian and ultralight long-distance backpacker, I created Backcountry Foodie™ while preparing homemade, lightweight meals for my thru-hike of the PCT in 2017. Recipe development and testing continued while hiking a section of the AT followed by thru-hiking the Oregon Coast Trail in 2018.
