for me i'll mix it up on day hikes it could be three of any of these, trail mix if it doesnt have mm's in them then I put them in(got to have my sweets) if I dont take trail mix then its a bag of raw almonds with dried apricots, banana, ppj, beef jerky, those little plastic continers of cheese and crackers, a bag of salame slices with cheese...candy bars: Payday or Baby Ruth..
So... Bee what you taking this weekend when you go skiing?

(I guess that I did not know that it was "okay" to sustain on a non-food type item such as chocolate)

Heresy! Bee, rank heresy. Everybody knows that chocolate & choccy-covered coffee beans are in a food group by themselves, and proudly occupy the peak of the food pyramid.

I've often thought that chocolate covered coffee beans would be a good idea in winter, but have yet to bring them along. i discovered shock-a-lots from shock coffee. think m & m's with a chocolate covered coffee bean. even in summer they melt in your mouth, not in your pack. one bag = one cup of coffee.

So... Bee what you taking this weekend when you go skiing? Mark I just read the most intriguing account of MR climbers eating mayonaise sandwiches the whole way....!!! However, I seem to remember eating thee most dee-licious homemade cookies after one particular climb up to Thor(that might bee worth replicating!) b

I pretty much stick to the “bland is best” approach when I’m backpacking (does anyone remember the nutritionist, Paul Bragg, from the 70’s?) When I get above 10,000 feet, my taste preference changes. I don’t want anything too spicy, and I REALLY don’t like anything sweet. My favorite snacks are salty - nuts, those single wax-covered cheese (yum!), and asian cracker mix. Most bars end up being too sweet, so I end up just carrying them around ‘til I can give ‘em away to someone; the thought of a candy bar would just gag me. Too bad I don’t live at altitude – I’d probably eat a lot better.

food threads seem to have a life of their own, so here are some more quotes. Harvey
....the spartan diet he had calculated as meeting all our calorific needs even if it did not meet the needs of the soul.
Joe Tasker, Savage Arena page 46
You’ll never find enlightenment on a full stomach.
Doug Scott in Greg Child, Mixed Emotions page 155

The all time best is PP&J. They are always good. I also love the cliff shots and mini sneaker bars. The bit size ones are good because it is just enough to give you a boost.
Those are all my favorites oh and I like the dried mango. Hum hum

Salty roasted cashews, Vienna sausage floating on a glob of mayo that's resting on a piece of Ry-crisp.

I would have chalked it up to a typo, but twice in one thread seemed too much of a coincidence. I was hoping there was some awesome variant on the pbj I didn't know about. Oh wpll...

Could it be? pp and j? Nah! Hey there Mr. Condron, this is my serious thread on some serious nutritional aides to my survival, err, my stomach's survival on the mountain. All of us who know you KNOW that MAYONAISE is your 5th food group. (the little individual packets are a life-saver to one who had waaaaay too many dry tuna pouches)

Next time we hike I'll bring one just for you..

Next time we hike I'll bring one just for you.. I'm well acquainted with how fantastic pb&js are. I even considered taking a bite of yours on Saturday when you weren't looking. All that's happening here is that you and Mark both wrote about "pp&js" within a few posts of each other and I was worried I was missing out on something.

k who is Blindtheft? It seems that we hiked together but I can't put Blindtheft with a face or another name. I also didn't realize the Mark made the same booboo. I liked it better when I could give someone crap for giving me crap. Thanks for taking my fun away. This really does deserve a hit now.

You would likely know me as Dan, the dashingly handsome guy that glissaded down the Baldy bowl behind you last Saturday.
