Ultralight Joe is a gran'daddy in the ultra-light world - a world I feel increasingly drawn to. His recipe for Moose Goo is something I'm thinking of incorporating on future treks, particularly the JMT.
Here is the recipe page in full:
Ultralight Joe's Moose Goo
NOTE: If you pass this around to your friends, I have but one request - please refer to it as "Ultralight Joe's Moose Goo". Since I run this site anonymously, it's not an ego thing. I just get a kick out of
hearing it mentioned on the trail, let's me know I'm contributing to my fellow trekkers. A simple pleasure, perhaps, but I take what I can get. :-) Thanks!
Basic Recipe:
Single Squeeze Tube Proportions (2-3 lunches w/ large tortillas):
- 2 parts honey
- 2 parts corn flour (NOT corn meal! I plan to try sweet rice flour soon.)
- 1 part peanut butter (preservative-laden)
- Mix thoroughly, will take some time.
- Pack into Coghlan's Squeeze Tube (REI, Campmor, etc), or in cold weather wrap in wax paper.
Per tube:
- 8 tbsp honey
- 8 tbsp corn flour
- 4 tbsp peanut butter
- 1320 calories
- 172g carbs (70 simple, 102 complex)
- 24g protein
- 38g fat (That's a high proportion of fat, but what the heck...)
BEWARE! Below 40F, Ultralight Joe's Moose Goo becomes impossible to squeeze out! I open the tube from the back and spoon it out when that happens. For snow camping I pack it in wax paper instead, eat it like a candy bar, or pre-pack it into tortillas.
