We are blessed with oh so many outdoor areas to explore on these regions that it seems that not one lifetime could ever be enough to set trail on them all.
But, of course, we can try. Among all of the outdoor activities available camping is one of the friendliest out there that almost anyone can get into, young and old alike. And one thing all camping people have in common is that we like food and snacks. And it just so happen that there are some that are simply perfect for taking with you camping to give you that sometimes very needed energy boost while on the trail. Want to know which? See right here.

What are the best foods and snacks for camping?
[su_table responsive=”yes” alternate=”no”]
Sunflower Seeds |
| This recommendation came from Chinook Seedery, you can find out more about Chinook Seedery here, or read more about their recommendation of Sunflower Seeds below. |
 |
| Sunflower Seeds from Chinook Seedery based in Austin, Texas are the perfect snack to bring to the great outdoors. They have the original flavor and an array of additional flavors created from real foods and spices. That means real parmesan cheese, authentic Hatch chiles, freshly harvested dill, and a whole lot of “Woah, those just might be the best seeds ever”. You know that sunflower seed eating is a great way to pass the time around the campfire, but there are more benefits than just entertainment. Sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E, an antioxidant that fights off free radicals in the environment — like pollutants and smoke! Low-salt sunflower seeds are the best option for snacking, and help enhance the flavor of the seeds and replenish electrolytes you sweat out as you go about your day. Seeds like Chinook Seedery sunflower seeds make a perfect option due to their low-salt content, and the variety of flavors ensure you never get bored during while enjoying the great outdoors. |

Baked Beans |
| This recommendation came from Sam Maizlech from Glacier Wellness, you can find out more about Sam Maizlech here, or read more about their recommendation of Baked Beans below. |
 |
| Baked beans by the campfire is simply a must-have for camping. Beans are great for giving you tons of necessary nutrients, including protein, iron, zinc, folate, and magnesium, plus they are also high in carbs so they will fill you up and give you that extra boost of energy. If that wasn’t enough, it will also allow you to recreate that famous campfire scene from Blazing Saddles, which will definitely make it a memorable trip. I recommend throwing them over the fire in a nice stew with some meat, potatoes, carrots, onions, and spices. |
