Backcountry food budget

[Oregon1234]

Curious what you guys think is a good amount to spend on 1 days worth of food for a backcountry backpack hunt. Seems like all the quality food is pretty expensive haha

Never really thought about it but including a Peak refuel meal for dinner everyday I’d guess at least $20 a day also including drink/energy mixes, lunch and lots of snacks.
Im sure others get by cheaper but I really enjoy a good, filling tasty meal like Peak refuel at the end of a long day.

I typically eat a Gatorade protein bar in the morning with coffee ($1), oatmeal and granola for let breakfast ($1), top roman for lunch ($.25), trail mix and goodies during the the day ($1), backpacker meal for dinner ($9), Atkins protein bar before bed ($1). A little whiskey ($1).
Sometimes I replace my Mtn House with Roman and salmon or chicken ($3) cause I’m cheap.
So, on average, $8-$15 per day.

Everyone thinks that you have to mainline Mtn Ops Yeti, count your macros, get blood transfusions, and sleep in a hyperbaric chamber on top of the mountain to kill a big buck. Founder does it eating ramen noodles and drinking whiskey.
