Light Snacks and Water Prep for a Day Trip
Day Trips Are a Battle Against Weight
The Right Amount for an 8-Hour Trip
- Water: about 1.5L per person per day. Adjust to 2L on hot days and 1L on cold days.
- Total snack weight: keep it around 300g, aiming for a bag weight under 1kg.
- One sweet and one salty item: balance energy and thirst with one sugary snack and one savory snack.
- One trash bag: for storing peels and wrappers.
Light but Filling Snack Lunchbox
When to Eat and How Much It Saves
| Time | What to eat | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Right after departure | A sip of water | Hydrate in advance |
| 11 a.m. | Nuts and biscuits | Prevent hunger before lunch |
| Lunch | Local meal or eggs + fruit | For a solid meal |
| 3 p.m. | Banana and tomatoes | Replenish sugar and recover from fatigue |
Preparing this way can save about 5,000 to 10,000 won a day on snacks, and you will not have to leave your route to look for a shop whenever you feel hungry. The most efficient plan is to enjoy one satisfying local meal and fill the gaps with snacks you brought along.

💡
Tip: Instead of carrying one large water bottle, split water into two or three 500ml bottles. They can be distributed on both sides of the bag so the weight does not lean to one side, and empty bottles are also easier to refill locally.
