Photography, backpacking and the art living simply

I don’t think I will ever win points for my creativity in naming things.. peanut mush bar. It is what it sounds like. Mushed peanuts with dates. Simple and awesome – this recipe continues my series with a focus on Dates as the main ingredient. I am structuring my recipes in this manner so that it will be easy for you to do the different recipes with minimal work. Read More
This bread is by far my greatest contribution to the evolution of mankind.. It is the equivalent of at the least the pyramids of Gaza, at most the creation of man. Well, I don’t mean to be hyperbolic, but this really is fantastic bread. Trust me, if you try no other recipe that I ever put up, take the 10 minutes of your life to make this one. I love to have this bread around the house or on the hiking trail.
This is a hard cracker bread that is fairly easy to make and truly addicting. The biggest problem with this bread is over eating it. I don’t think the human body is meant to consume so many seeds at once, I found this out the hard way. Or I should say I am reminded of it everything I eat all of it at once… Which is every time I make it. 10 minutes to make, 5 minutes to eat and 5 hours on the toilet. So a friendly reminder: like all good things – too much is not good. Read More
Really it’s just lazy mans beef jerky. I absolutely love beef jerky on a long days hike, unfortunately for me, finding good beef jerky in Sweden is a near impossible mission. Even if it’s starting to make its way here, at the moment it’s just so expensive and in “tiny” human bites.. In other words pathetic is the best word to use when describing the “jerky” that can be bought here. Read More
Since I want to start adding some of my recipes that I use when I plan for hiking, I figured that I also need to share some of the basic building blocks of my recipes. Sure you can always go out and purchase energy bars, dried food and breakfasts… But what fun is that? Part of the joy in backpacking is the preparation.
With that you will see one recurring theme with all of my recipes: fast and easy. Oh, and you need a food processor. I have a pretty cheap Electrolux that works wonders. Read More
I admit it, I’m addicted to chocolate and really anything that resembles sweet. That’s why most of my energy and raw bars are in taste very close to being in my mind as tasty as your regular store bought sugar bombs. My chocolate hazelnut Nutella bars are simply put: Amazing!
Like all my bars and recipes, these are minimal effort with maximum taste. You just throw everything in a food processor and roll a minute or two, mush them in the shape you want and your done.. Takes about 10 minutes start to finish. Read More
What can I say? I love energy bars and as a start to this new section in Ultralight and Comfortable I will start with the worlds easiest and possibly one of the best energy bar recipes. I can literally make this energy bar in 5 minutes. This bar has more nutritional value than a snickers bar and is a hell of a lot tastier! On top of that it’s easy to make and fits within my philosophy of less is more.
Tools you need:
Food processor
Recipe:
1 portion dry (mushy fresh) dates – not the hard dried out sort. Just pinch the seed out before throwing in the processor Read More
