Fastpacking is a combination of trail running and camping. Thus, key is to pack as ultralight as possible because you’ll be carrying everything while running. Sounds fun, right? :D

Here’s a break-down:

Nutrition (I won’t put any numbers behind the food because everyone has different requirements and needs and it all depends on how far you run, on what terrain, etc. - I want to avoid that people simply pack the exact same amount without knowing what they’re doing)

  • Tailwind

  • Bananas

  • Apples

  • Huel savoury

  • Huel protein powder

  • Trail mix (raisins and nuts)

  • Gels

  • Nakd Salted Caramel bars

  • SiS Berry bars

  • Misfits protein bar
