Backpacker Chili

I concocted this backpacker chili recipe because I believe flavor always comes first, even if you're eating dehydrated foods in a lean-to! This chili mix is the perfect post-hike refuel -- full of complex carbs, protein, and salts to rejuvenate tired muscles. It's also easy to throw to together if you have a jet-boil or another similar camping stove, super lightweight, and crave-worthy even off the trail!
