Most backpacking foods, drink mixes, and snacks are packaged in aluminum foil. Aluminum foil doesn’t burn and isn’t degradable. If you pack it in, please pack it out!
Many grocery store food items backpack well, but they often use excess packaging. Eliminate and recycle as much of this extra material as possible at home, before you load your pack.
