Snacks?

[jackelope]

Mountain man sandwiches. Bagel w/ peanut butter, honey and bacon.
Trail mix
Granola bars
Jerky
Then I don't eat anything.

I dont like trail mix with candy just dried fruit and nuts, pepperoni, an apple.....water

I love pistachios when I am just sitting, gives my fingers something to do popping them open.

[floatinghat]

lots of water and 4-6 powerbars, some trail type mix, something sweet as a treat or two.    I like jerky but the nitrates and sodium tent to make me drink more water and use more TP.

Snickers bars are great too. Lots of calories, high in fiber and protein.

Usually all I pack is Gatorade.  If I am going for an all day (2am to 9pm) I'll make up a couple of bagels with peanutbutter, honey, bacon and cheese.  Talk about energy for a long pack out!  I take landjaegers when elk hunting and scent isn't as much of a factor.

My nutritional choices have affected the way I hunt. Some might call it lazy, but I call it for the better.

I'm willing to be out there later than dawn if necessary if it means having  full belly and being well hydrated. That way, I don't need to carry as many snacks with me and I can stay out all day. I've spotted and killed more deer midday than I have at dawn anyway. If I have help and things are going well then of course i'd like to be out there at first light, but being properly hydrated and getting in a good breakfast is more important IMHO. I've gotten tired of hearing "Well its 10am, lets go back to camp for a few hours...."

Lately I've gone on just a few PB&Js, some string cheese, and maybe a can of chicken noodle soup. With a big breakfast and a big dinner that's all I need in between.

Been a bunch of good things in the way of grab & go type snacks mentioned, really can't go too wrong there.  Just pick stuff you like to munch on.

One thing I learned from a buddy a long time ago that I do now is keep a one burner propane stove in my rig, and I stock up on a dozen or so different kinds of canned foods, like chili, stew, soups, etc.  No worries about spoiling or getting messed up since they are in cans.  Several have pop top lids so a can opener isn't needed, but good to have anyway along with a few pieces of metal silverware and a couple small cooking pots.

All of this fits neatly into the medium sized Rubbermaid type containers, easy to grab it and toss in the rig.

Used to do the sandwich and other "cold" finger foods only, but on a cold or wet day, getting back to the rig and having a nice hot meal in just a few minutes is priceless.

I kept a jug of water and a small coffee pot in my "tub".  I also had coffee, hot cocoa and tea.  Several times got back to the rig cold and wet.  Fired that stove up made a pot of coffee and then sat in the rig drinking coffee with the heater going full blast.  Warmed right up.

Back to the orig topic, I kept energy bars, granola bars, some jerky and I liked to have a package of sport beans (jelly beans with electrolytes etc).  I tried the Wilderness athlete stuff too.  I like the drink mixes, the bars were ok.

Lots of great advise, I would add that when I have my Camel Pack I drink more water. I like to pack energy bars, and smoke fish very dry like jerky.  Any time you can make your own snacks I would do so.

Think fat, sugar, and water . Bacon is your friend

Bring enough so that just in case you had to spend the night you could at least snack.

[TriggerMike]

A couple of peanut butter and bacon sandwiches and/or a couple of peanut butter and banana sandwiches. The potassium from the bananas can be clutch. Toast the bread so it doesn't get smushy and store it in tupperware instead of sandwich baggies. Bring a couple of Apples for quick carbs and protein bars with at least 20g of protein per serving. As far as water, you can't have enough. Also, you don't need gatorade with these foods, water is more beneficial.
