SUMMARY:Hiking in the Snow or Winter Mountaineering

SUMMARY:Mappy Hour: Fueling Your Adventures
DESCRIPTION:How do you fuel your adventures? When my wife and I thru-hiked the John Muir Trail\, we ate at least two Clif Bars every day. That’s 44 bars. To this day\, my wife still won’t eat another one of those bars (as good as they are). We’ve learned a thing or two since then. \nAt this Mappy Hour livestream\, we will be talking about snacks\, bars\, electrolytes\, tips and tricks for staying well-fueled on adventures of all kinds. We’ll talk about easy day hikes\, full-day slogs\, and multi-day treks\, and the considerations for food along the way. \nBring your own beverage\, bring your questions\, your favorite snacks and foods\, and your tips for a great trail food experience. \nTogether\, we can avoid the dreaded “bar burnout.”
