@bluefoxy Nice list. A piece of chocolate is a must for me.
Hmm, yeah can’t...survive...without chocolate... :)
I always take a bag of trail mix that I make myself. M&M...and cranberries are my fav. =)
Snap! M&M’s :) How good are they. Alas, I’m diabetic so I have to be careful with that sort of thing. Still when expending energy on a hike or trek it’s not so bad so I indulge a little.
Agree! A healthier alternative could be yogurt. Equally as sweet. Another way to use yogurt is to coat pretzels :)' yuum.
Stop it. Yoghurt pretzels?! Must have them! :)
I second that and beef jerky!
Always !
Thank you!
Maybe dark chocolate will have less of a melting issue.
I don’t go anywhere without my spork.
I love the titanium sporks. They are awesome!
That’s what I have, those titanium ones are great. On my truck I’ve got a fridge/freezer and always carry water and food plus my Jetboil. I have a GoBag on board also with all the items I’ll need in an emergency situation. Being ready for the unknown is my thing.
That's great you are prepared and ready to survive! Thanks for stopping by :)
A must!!!
