I have survived an entire weekend tenting and hiking whilst following a vegan diet. I wasn’t sure how it would progress and if part-way through the weekend I would suddenly crave meat and cheese -or something that was removed from a plant-based diet.
Several weeks ago now, I spent an entire weekend setting up and officiating at a Orienteering race- which included roving around the bush all through the night. I packed lots of strawberries, trail mix, veggi sushi, and coconut bars. I felt great! And too my surprise my pack didn’t seem all too heavy.
Thus- I will continue to test out the waters of a vegan diet mixed in with backcountry travel, mountaineering, and climbing etc and discover if it seems possible. I have two fears- I become fatigued with the heavy fruits weighing down my bag & I lack the creativity to conjure up variety.
Summer & Vegan diet-> bring it on!
