No Roads "Snack Pack"
We provide you with eight days of snacks that will help you from meal to meal. The snack pack is given to you prior to your expedition (last few weeks before leaving for PNG) and it contains the following items:
Very important - Please bring this snack pack on the trek as the soups are eaten at lunch time (with other food provided by No Roads) or other meals. You may wish to substitute some of the soups or muesli bars for others of different flavours. The soups, Endura hydration mix and muesli bars are very important snacks to eat/drink during the day to supplement your sugars, salts and minerals lost through sweating.
Packing Snacks
Take your snacks across to PNG in their original packaging and once in the hotel in Port Moresby the night before you begin your trek, separate the snacks into daily portions and put them into plastic bags. This helps you keep the items fresh, assist with rationing and should weigh less with the original packaging thrown out. Resealable plastic bags are a good solution.
Additional Snacks
Many trekkers take additional quantities of such items based on what they have learned from their own experience during their training for the trek or from previous trekking experiences. A word of caution about the weight of your extra snacks. Lollies, bars and other items can weigh quite a bit so take care when choosing what extra you would like to bring.
- 7 x Cup-a-Soups (variety of flavours)
- 7 x Muesli Bars (variety of flavours)
- Assorted lollies (approx 200 grams)
- 8 sachets of Endura electrolyte replacement powder (in 25g doses) 1 per day
