Hi, I’m Aaron Owens Mayhew — a registered dietitian, longtime backpacker, and creator of Backcountry Foodie.
For years, I focused on lightweight backpacking nutrition and meal planning to help people fuel their time outdoors. That foundation is still a big part of what I do.
Lately, I’ve been exploring new ways to stay outside and active — including mountain biking, dog-friendly adventures, and (eventually) bikepacking. This channel now reflects that evolution.
Here you’ll find a mix of:
• Cinematic outdoor adventures with my dog
• Practical, lightweight trail food ideas
• Real-life ways to keep exploring as our bodies and priorities change
Whether you’re hiking, biking, or somewhere in between, the goal is the same: make getting outside feel doable, sustainable, and enjoyable.
