Trail Ready Sandwiches
Most of the time when you go hiking and bring a sandwich, they get all soggy by the time you want to eat. That’s no good, and we can improve.
So, to keep things from getting soggy, either use the packets of condiments you have sitting in a drawer or bring them separately: a little tupperware container is perfect to hold about an ounce of a pre-made mustard and mayo mix. Bring along a spoon as well, and you’re halfway to better trail sandwiches.
The other half is bread choice. Normal white bread just has too much moisture to do well in a cold lunch bag for long. Instead, get something heartier, like sourdough or rye, then toast it. This is the other half of the better sandwich occasion.
Sure, you’ll need to spend an extra moment prepping your sandwich on the trail, but slowing down and taking it all in isn’t a bad thing in my book.
