Aaron returns to the show to share her expert insight as a licensed nutritionist and founder of Backcountry Foodie, focusing on how hikers can fuel their adventures with healthy, ultralight snacks—without overspending. Drawing from her extensive experience creating trail-tested meal plans, she offers smart, affordable picks from dollar stores and discount chains that deliver real nutritional value and stand up to the demands of the backcountry.

This episode was inspired by a suggestion from one of our show followers—proof that the Papa Bear Hikes community keeps us hiking smarter!

• What to look for in packaged foods on a hiker’s budget
• Tips to balance weight, calories, and cost
• Updates on her own trail snack staples

Aaron proves that good nutrition and ultralight packing can go hand-in-hand—even on a tight budget.
