Food in the field

Cup O Noodles has more salt than Top Ramen w/seasoning packet. Repackage/vacume seal them though. Sunbelt chocolate covered granola bars are 130 calories each with less sugar than a Snickers bar. Trail mix of your liking. Nuts are great sources of protien. Cashews have no cholesterol. Dried Mango slices, Apple wedges and Banana chips are great. Rice with pre-measured gravy mix. Oatmeal. Jerky. Smoked Salmon. Peanut butter. Vaccume sealed English muffins keep for a few days. Dried peas/corn/beets. String cheese. Mountain house meal every other dinner. I prefer a water filter over tablets. Steri pen would be nice too. Gatorade packets. Tea or Coffee.   I'm never looking for a four course meal for dinner. I'll eat oatmeal for breakfast and/or dinner.

Great information guys! Not my post but it would be cool to see someone break down a 5 day back country hunt what they would do for each part of each day. Weights/quantity. Pretty large task but I know it would help me out. Put what size a person you are also so I can figure my 6'1, 230 frame into that

These are difficult to find in the civilian world, but not impossible, try to find Arctic MRE's, in White plastic bag, they contain 3 times the calories than standard MRE's and they taste a helluva lot better. The majority of the Meals are dehydrated so they are lighter too.

Arctic MREs are great and hard to find, they have 5,000 calories each. while stationed in Alaska I ate 3 in one day. It was -80 outside and my squad was stuck in our 10 man tent. Paid the price the next day there's nothing like a class one download in that kind of cold weather.
