    1 energy bar (Clif or Power Bar)
    1 Mountain House pro pack dinner

    Re: Just a backpacking food thread sheep hunt

    Typical day for me:

    Breakfast - dried fruit, choc coffee beans, fig newton bar - if I ever eat another pack of oatmeal it will be too soon, plus it saves on needing to cook
    Lunch, choc bar (better than most protein or energy bars), cliff bar, trailmix, jerky, fruit bar, hard cheese and dry sausage and pita
    Dinner, homemade dehydrated meals, best thing I ever did, you actually look forward to dinner, and actually eat it all. I found most of those Mountain House meals so bad I threw half the meal away every night, plus they are grossly overpriced.

    Oysters must be popular, I seem to find the cans everywhere.....

    X10 on the oatmeal staying at the store, can't force it down anymore and burns up more fuel. Switched to Vector for breakfast, add water and done.
    for ten days:
    11 mountain house meals
    20 40g vector bars
    600g vector cereal
    200 ml Mio sport
    300g cashews
    40 8g hot rods
    200g banana chips

    with all the typical stuff, i also brought a small jar of penut butter on my last hunt. it really sticks with you. also a couple different types of cured meats and cheese (baby bell), you can add them into your mountain house dinners to spruce them up a bit because they start to get pretty bland after 5 or 6th day

    It's good to sneak a few beers in the pack of your hunting partner without them knowing. Once you summit a bitch of climb and said partner lets you in on the plan, you've never tasted anything so good.....
