We love popcorn almost as much as a fresh pair of hiking socks!
Popcorn is one of the easiest snacks to make when backpacking and hiking. If you have a backpacking stove and a pot, the only ingredients you need are popcorn, oil, and salt.
Cook Time:About 3 minutes
Ingredients
Popcorn kernels
Oil (we recommend coconut oil when backpacking)
Salt of other preferred seasoning
Tools
Stove (we used a Jetboil Minimo)
Pot with lid
Spoon
Directions
Add about a tbsp of oil to the pot
Pour in a single layer of kernels (about 1/4 - 1/2 cup depending on pot size)

Shake pot as kernels pop. There will be plenty of steam.
When popping slows turn off stove
Remove lid with caution to avoid remaining steam and flying kernels
