Wondering if folks had some thoughts on:
Simple non messy breakfast options in places with no water source. Use of packed water is an option.

well...here's what I like, so brace yourself Crunchy peanut butter and honey/jelly. Bread and stuff in seperate small tupperware containers. I also like those cheap cookies that are vanilla on one side chocolate on the other...great morning treat! Umm lets see, oh yeah beef jerky (my fav) and apples, not at the same time of course, gross. This stuff is fine if your not cooking, but if you have a stove...well don't get me started _________________ Remember, if it's REAL hard to do, your doin' it wrong. |

I make oatmeal cookies with lots of raisens and nuts. That and pre-cooked bacon and a cup of coffee and we are ready to go. The cookies keep but they cease to be cookie shape after a couple of days--still taste good though. _________________ Shikekeh hozhoogo naasha.

Dry Granola. Mainly the stuff with the big chunks in it. Stuff is good dry. _________________ Mountains are there to be climbed!

We read about this one on another hike site. Putting water into an packet of instant oatmeal and eating it right from the pack. We've since tried it with both regular (non-heated) water and heated water. Worked great either way. takes awhile to get past the weirdness of it but it's OK when you do. The other is bulghar. You can simply pour some water into a bag of it the night before and, presto, it's ready when you wake up the next morning. Add dried mint and some dried cirtrus peel and it's great.
Depending on your mood, you don't even need a sweetener to make it palatable. You can turn the zip lock inside out and lick it clean and reuse it, too.

Check out the new "liquid jell" powerbar type stuff at REI. That stuff is pretty good and a great substitute for you ordinary "powerbar". _________________ "IRONMAN" cometh, hiketh, destroyeth |

Well, I forget the name of it, so i call it a "liquid jell". However, it really is good and a great change from the usual hard powerbar. _________________ "IRONMAN" cometh, hiketh, destroyeth |

I like peanut butter and honey on a tortilla. Roll it up and enjoy. The tortillas keep well on the trail and pack easily due to the flat shape. Containing the PB and honey is kind of a pain but can be worked out. The PB gives you protein and slow burn calories, the honey gives you juice right away. Those gels like "Powergel" are mostly simple sugars and are probably best for races/marathons where you need a quick shot of energy NOW. I read an article some years back comparing them form different makers that didn't find a significant advantage over honey. Of course they're conveniently packaged though. Plummer150, sounds like you have used them. Have they lasted you over the long haul? _________________ Mike T

Churchs Chicken has little packets of honey, just like the little ketchup packets you can get at all the other fast food places! Haven't found any packets of PB yet _________________ ~Tracy

And with the weight of his pack, it's usually something substantial. _________________ Mike T

Ha, thanks Mike. You found em. Those are it. There kind of a nice change from the bar form which is why I'm starting to use those power gels now instead. _________________ "IRONMAN" cometh, hiketh, destroyeth |
