I use all natural peanut butter packs. I add them to my bananas and give them to my dog. Great treat! Pro Tip: cut the banana into small circles, add peanut butter and freeze them for a super dog treat at home! Happy Hiking!

Great advice here, ranks up there with mustard, picaridin, frogg toggs and really nice socks. I have tried a lot of your hacks and they do seem to work well for me. I believe your channel is underrated. Cheers, man.

Matty Great stuff as always! Glad you mentioned the dehydrated fruit for the dogs. I do the same and with the peanut butter . I make sure it does not have artificial sugar just sugar then. I can share that with the dog too. Be well And Trail on!!

Damn even the first one was great. I always pack in a steak and maybe an onion or bell pepper to grill the first night if I can have a fire. But the paper plate idea... wow that's gonna totally change my steak dinner game in the future.

You can get Jif in single serve tubs here in Canada, they come in a box of 8. Not sure if you can get them anywhere else

Appreciate the strategy in not losing your dog by keeping-em near with snacks as a incentive.

Don’t forget to check your “paper” plate for plastic content/coatings before burning. Hard to find a true paper plate these days.

Always a Steak and Potato dinner around a small campfire the 1st night out. Normally followed up with an adult drink with some proof rating. Jiff Peanut butter, a new Jiff, the 13 ounce squeeze tube. Easier to pack, takes less room and is simple to use. Don't even need a spoon. In hot weather I like a Tortilla with 1/2 smeared with some Jiff and covered with sliced Green ( seedless ) Spanish Olives as a sandwich. Folks turn their nose up at them till they try a bite, if I tried to take it back I'd probably have a broken arm.

Matty have you tried altra trail runners and what’s you favorite trail runner?

[jonsanford]

Not sure if they’re available in Canada, but Jif is now selling 13oz squeeze tubes of PB in the States.

You said mom's like jif and I totally expected you to say Matty likes mom's so you carry jif 🤣

I like to do what I call a car kit. Maybe as simple as a cooler with sodas, or maybe add clean clothes and deodorant(so I stop offending myself)
