Favorite pack snacks?

[DTP]

With the season closing in, I'm sure a lot of you are doing your final shops, and planning meals.
What are some of your favorite pack snacks that can help get you through a day of elk hunting?



A staple in my pack for the past few years is peanut butter, bacon, and banana wrapped in a tortilla. YUM it's so good!
I use to be a candy junky, but I'm trying something a little different this year. Instead of heaping amounts of swedish fish and sour patch kids, I'm going to have individual packs of famous amos cookies.

How about you guys? What treats are a must in your pack?

Starburst Jelly beans are my biggest vice. I normally bring about 1/2 cup for each day.

My pack typically has jerky, trail mix, and some mini candy bars - snickers normally does the trick. I normally bring some big bags of jerky to camp and put some into a ziploc each day, but now Costco sells boxes of individual packs that I'm planning on bringing.

Im not much of an elk hunter, but my teenage boys like to weigh down their packs with beanie weenies and Vienna sausages plus some small packs of peanut butter crackers and breakfast granola bars

You know, small packs of peanut butter crackers sounds like a good option!
I better go pick some of those up.




The funny thing is I load my whitetail daypack with as much food as I do for an elk hunt.
It's bad, but I just snack all day in my tree stand during the November rut

Damn I need to get on the candy train. I take dried fruit, trail mix, and chewy bars, and dried fruit bars...

2 Honey Stingers, cookie dough probar, and 6 pack of oreo cookies per day along with the flavor of the day protein bar. I generally save the oreos for when I'm in the bag at night but sometimes they dont make it.

I usually take clifbars, jerky, snickers almonds.
New to the pack this year a suggestion from a friend.  I've got a buddy who does the spartan races and he swears by Clif Shotblocks. I'm a landscaper by profession so I thought I'd give them a go. Let me tell ya when you wanna keep trucking and not sit. Eat 3-4 and it keeps the engine running and you don't have as bad of muscle exhaustion and overall stamina seems to be a little more on the level.  I HIGHLY recommend them for archery season as they keep me going landscaping for 12hrs in 90-100 degree summer heat.  Amazon has a killer deal on them as a multi pack.

Sounds interesting. I'll have to check those out!

Clif Shotblocks

Interesting, never heard of them

Picked these up today. 
They are "healthy" cookies and don't taste horrible.

dried pineapple!!!!

Gotta make sure I throw in a bunch of fun size Snickers! Can't get enough of them when I'm hunting. Otherwise, I don't really eat candy. Of course, I have the typical trail mix, granola type snacks too.

+1 for shot blocks.  After a couple years of experimenting with tris, they have lots of great light carb sources that are really good.  Cliff, Stingers, GUs, Gatorade all have different gel packs, blocks, etc... Just about any bike, running, and outdoor sports store will carry several.  Or you can just do an Ironman and they hand the stuff for "free".

Yessss! Another fan of he blocks!  Also I might add I am kinda a funny fan. Gummy worms bears sour patches etc. these taste good enough and have the right kind of gumminess(if that's a thing) I feel it tricks my body thinking it's treats when it's doing myself a solid in reality and I don't short change myself!

I love the Shotblocks. But you really have to stay up on brushing and flossing. The stick pretty good.


I eat cherry frosted pop tarts.  Hunting is the only time I allow them.
