Food for the pack
« on: October 15, 2009, 03:40:43 PM »
With the general just a day and a half away, what munchies will be in your packs for the days hunt?  For me, it's a small baggie of jerky, small baggie of dried mangos, 2 clif bars, and 20oz of water.  This does me well for the entire full day in the field.

Granola bars, jerky, Pay Day bars, string cheese and boiled eggs.  Protein, fat and sugar, keeps the fat boys going!

I am pretty happy with the latest refinements to my pack.

one ziplock of trail mix
one power bar
two GU energy gels (vanilla)
water

That will keep you going all day and many miles.

U-nuke-it burritto wrapped in foil and riding up on the defroster  :chuckle:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Man, I'm a way skinny dude and I don't like taking that little amount of food.  I think I'm burning off over one billion calories (at least my stomach thinks I am), so I take substantially more food.

Couple of granola or Cliff bars, sometimes Gu, baggie of almonds, a couple of sandwiches, beef jerky, dried fruit, a candy bar and sometimes an apple, at the minimum.

EastwaViking, do they give you sustained energy or do you experience a "crash" like some do from "energy" drinks? just curious. thanks.

I've never had a crash, and they fill you up too.  I think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread.
