Daily Snacks/ Meals Bag Dump

[jdf]

You have forgotten one of the 10 essentials. Tortillas! The catch all backcountry bread. Nothing like a good Mountainhouse burrito. Bagels are nice but seem to always take up more room than I want to give up. The smaller 8ish inch tortillas work really well and pack easy. "PB fit" and jelly packets can really hit the spot (backcountry PB&J tortilla sandwich). PB Fit is a very healthier powdered peanut butter that just requires a little water to make. It's one of those little things that can make a backpack trip decadent. If PB Fit is not your thing then almond butter packets work really well.

I Did tortilla before on trips I like bagels better. More filling to me and I just smash them flat

I like to have tortillas at camp. They don't need any special care or need cooling, but they don't take up a lot of room. They are great for heart tacos, or nutella and bacon breakfasts, breakfast burritos....damn near anything. Peppers and onions are easy to take care of and useful with the tortillas. I don't carry tortillas in my day pack, though. I'd rather just snack during the day.

I always throw a little bit of special brownies in for back at camp in lieu of alcohol...

I usually have a month's supply of instant coffee in a ziploc bag, almonds, jerky, dried fruit.
I dehydrate burger and such ,
instead of mountain house usually dehydrated burger or tuna/salmon packet, dehydrated veggies(morels, tomatoes, etc.) and knorrs.

Funny you mention this, last year we did a canoe trip in Canada and had a package of burger that I thought was steak. Steak on a stick is one of my favorite campfire meals. I just bring frozen and eat the first night. I Didn’t know what to do with it so we cooked it and mixed with instant mashed potatoes, then wrapped in tortillas. It was awesome. They were almost as good as campfire brook trout.

Good way to eat the rest of your food all in one night. So I’ve heard...

I tend to get sugar crazy on backpacking trips, so a big sack of Peanut M&Ms is a must.

I usually dump a box in my bag for a day out spring bear hunting.

Dried fruit ( cherries, bananas, mangos, strawberries), nuts( pistachios, peanuts, cashews), jerky, tuna or salmon pouches, cheese (smoked keeps best).
