248-Changing tastes in trail food

Show notes

I’ve been hiking and camping for many years and I’ve found that my tastes in food have slowly  but steadily evolved, changing bit by bit which is to be expected. Recently however my on-trail diet has gone through a revolution rather than evolution which has changed the way that I hike. In this podcast episode we look at what’s changed in my diet and the impact this has had.
