Looking at traditional lumberjacking food.
My little brother bought some land up north- close to Canada- and he wants to be a cabin on it. So we are going up for a week in June to cut down trees and bark them.
The traditional foods I have found look like a lot of meat and high calorie, sugary foods. They were burning 6000-9000 kCal a day.
So I'm thinking beans, biscuits, stews, cheap meat like pork chops. Mostly things that are easy to store for a week and easy to cook in a dutch oven.
It'll be interesting. I suspect that we aren't going to make it the whole week before we are forced to give up and admit that we aren't as manly as we would like.
We are stocking up on plaid, flannel shirts and growing out our beards.
There's something therapeutic about talking about my life with an empty chat room. :)
