A balanced all-natural trail mix provides several benefits for hungry hikers and backpackers. The right blend of ingredients ensures you receive multiple nutritional values, as well as enjoy an instant surge in energy level.

Trail mixes also allow you to pack more gear by increasing the amount of space available in your backpack.

Wild berries represent the most important ingredient of an all-natural trail mix. Savvy outdoor enthusiasts prefer to pick wild berries along the trail to prevent spoilage.

If you decide to pick wild berries for your trail mix or to prevent malnourishment, then you must know which berries to eat and which berries to avoid. Not knowing the difference can cause immense physical distress or worse, the end of the trail line.
