I've been planning a 3-5 day getaway and have had my pack stuffed since last Saturday-unfortunately for the last week my right knee has barely been able to support my own body weight, much less a ruck in the mountains... so I've been moping about perfecting the kit, specifically what I'm taking for food. I discovered 'thinwiches', round flatbread in presliced pairs. They were pretty cheap. I also dropped 70 cents on two small cans of grocery store brand peaches. I've got a spoonful of cinnemon sugar in a dimebag and I'm dying to try this combo either wrapped in tin foil or stone baked. I'll let you know how it is, seems like a pretty awesome cheap camp treat that also has some nutrition value.
 
Brings up good memories of camping when I was a kid.

Along those lines, How many of you pack the foil packs of Tuna and salmon for packable or emergency food source? These should be good for protien and shoul keep well. Jerky and dried fruit is also in my BOB.

For camping I gotta have hot cakes and bacon included.

I eat those all the time. Easy to pack, and loads of protien. I store some long term, but its all canned.

right next to all the other bread, by the english muffins and bagels. It's like 1.88 for a pack of 16 pairs. I eat a crapload of salmon and tuna while backpacking and usually keep a big stock for the BOB, but usually in cans. Cans are awesome tools for improvising alot of different stuff. I particularly like to make fish hooks from the lid poppers they put on them nowadays, and then use my leatherman to trim the lid down and work it into a spoon. makes for great bait and hook for catching smaller fish like bluegill, crappie, sunfish etc. The only problem is the game around here, the fish, varmint, deer etc are very lean and living on jerky and tuna and salmon and trout and rabbit alone will give you protein poisoning. That's part of the reason why you're supposed to eat the eyeballs and the brain. I don't like canned ham and beef nearly as much as tuna or salmon but I have made a point of keeping it around more for packing purposes, just because of the fat content.
 
Good idea Payette.

For those who eat the pouches of tuna, I emailed Starkist last summer and asked about keeping them in my pack in high temps e.g. in the car. They said as long as the pack is still sealed it should be fine. I tried one at the end of the last summer and it was fine.

Just a little tid bit.
