`snack Attack`

On our early caching days we would come back after finds hungry :o having not realised how long we would be out there, since then we carry along snacks. Our caching snacks are banana`s and pink grapefruit with freddo bars as a treat . Just wondered what treat keeps you going on your caching. :lol:

When out with Cachemad on a day out, a pasty, double-decker bar, flap-jack and a pint of milk from the first garage we get to around lunchtime is the order of the day for me....

 

unless.....

 

if we have our wives with us, it's a proper lunch at a pub.... caching with wives costs so much more! :lol:

I take a tube of high N R G type gel in my camelbak pack. Shot of that keeps fatigue and hunger at bay. Before, during and after exercise.

 

It is all I carry around in summer whilst on mountain bike too.

 

Used to make my own in a drink but now imported a few packs from Sierratrading.com to try out.

 

Stops me passing out anyway.

hehe, well yes actually.... the sort of pasty you get at garages anyway... cold, expensive, factory produced. Fresh bakery pastys though... that's a different matter!

I have a bowl of porridge before I go out and then usually survive on water and a sunday dinner when I get in. However, myself and JollyJax have started enjoying pub meals on our travels. We have been lucky and have not had a bad one yet

We had some advice from a Royal Marine (I suppose they know best how to survive in the wild) when some of us from work did the Three Peaks challenge a while back. He persuaded is to have a "Nutty bag" in our pockets with nuts, chocolate, dried fruit and biscuits chicked in it and mixed up. It certainly helped keep us going.

I'd suggest that a squirell or a fox or a wild boar or a lion even, would have more of an idea of how to survive in the wild?

 

and talking of Pasties... don't mention the G word...

Yeah well obviously a wild animal.... I meant know best compared to me :D

 

Anyway, those Ginsters pasties are awful - and on the Plymouth Argyle shirts... boo hiss :ph34r:

Bottle of water and a box of Kipling Almond Slices and I keep an eye out for 'proper' bakers and have whatever looks nice - pasty/cake/sandwich.

 

On the one day we did an all day walk, we had planty of diffent snacks, but have recieved the same advice about nuts/chocolate and raisins.

I carry a MOD 24hr ration pack... Either Menu B or Menu G, has snacks(Yorkie bars labelled "not for civvies"), biscuits, pate, drink flavours/powders, meals all in it... Plus a canteen of water. Also carry a small camping gas stove and multi tool.

 

Cheers

I must confess that I don't tend to carry more than I need to, and that includes food. I always have something like a Mars Bar in case of an emergency and if I am taking the car I may pack a sandwich or roll with a flask of tea.

usually anything that is in any local shop or garage...

 

Very occasionally it's been a lovely tea shop, or pub, but then it's a struggle to leave!!!

 

I DO always make sure I have tonnes of water - especially in the summer... in fact any time of year I usually have about 40 bottle s of water in my car!
