Snack on a Hike, also known as "karmanka," is something you can quickly eat during a break or even on the go.

When planning meals for a trip, it's important to consider not only breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but also snacks—even if you're used to skipping them between main meals in everyday life.

A snack helps you quickly replenish your energy levels and reach your calorie and micronutrient needs. Therefore, it should be high in calories and contain fast-absorbing carbohydrates.

 

What foods are suitable for snacking during a hike?

🥖 Energy bars – the most popular option  
🌰 Nuts, dried fruits, seeds  
🫔 Fruit leather and marmalade  
🥜 Halva, kozinaki  
🥓 Jerky (by the way, there are also vegan versions made from soy or seitan)  
🍫 Chocolate, cookies  
🍭 Hard candies, sweets  

 

Whatever snack you choose, make sure it's in a sealed package to prevent moisture and dirt from ruining your treat. Keep it easily accessible, so you don’t have to search for it during a break.

Fram Equipment backpacks have many compartments perfect for keeping snacks handy. For example, large hip pockets, elastic pockets on the straps, roomy side pockets, and an inner lid pocket.
