Along with working full time and my other responsibilities, if there’s a piece of gear that makes planning for a hike less time consuming, remove some of the stress, and adds to the overall enjoyment of my hike, then that’s something I would want to test out. And that’s exactly what the meal planning app by Trail.Recipes’s Trail Chef App does.
Great ★★★★★
