Founder Story
Aaron founded Backcountry Foodie while preparing homemade backpacking meals for her thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2017. She used her knowledge as a registered dietitian to maximize the nutrition in her meals while reducing food weight. After returning from the trail, Aaron developed ultralight meal planning and published a backpacking recipes cookbook.
