tubby and Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 My brother and i have some favorite caching snacks. i was just wondering what other Cachers like to bring on there forays into adventure. We like to bring Wagon Wheels, Sesame Brand Sesame Snaps and chocolate penguins. The first one to mention "Cachews" gets a beat down. Quote Link to comment
+robert Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 You have a sweet tooth. I typically bring granola bars. Quote Link to comment
+The Weasel Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 beef jerky and trail mix!!! Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Clif Bars and Sunflower seeds..though not usually at the same time. Bret Quote Link to comment
+The Cheeseheads Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I can get these really cheap at work. They taste pretty good, they've only got about 200 calories which beats loading up on a Big Mac and fries before a hike, and they're actually good for you. Quote Link to comment
OuttaHand Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I always mix up a couple bottles of the blue-colored Gatorade. Can't remember their name for it but it comes in a powder mix and is blue. That is my caching 'treat' that refreshes! We will sometimes bring granola bars along but usually remember them when we get back to the car. Quote Link to comment

+carleenp Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 (edited) I can get these really cheap at work. They taste pretty good, they've only got about 200 calories which beats loading up on a Big Mac and fries before a hike, and they're actually good for you. The Zone Perfect bars are about the only nutrition bar that I can stomach. They actually are pretty darn good! If I'm going for a long hike, I tend to carry trail mix and jerky. A local grocery store has several different kinds of trail mix in bulk and I mix those all together. It makes a great mix at a pretty affordable price. Sometimes I pack a PB&J. It usually gets smashed though and then the dog is really happy! She loves PB&J. I've enjoyed a few beers at a mountaintop cache. My Dad and I have been known to pack in beer. Stick it in the cold lake or stream, go fishing and come back to drink it later. Works well. Edited February 17, 2004 by carleenp Quote Link to comment
+The Cheeseheads Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 The Zone Perfect bars are about the only nutrition bar that I can stomach. They actually are pretty darn good! Good! Buy lots of them and make my profit sharing check go up! What I like about them is that they're filling so when I'm driving from cache to cache, I'm not tempted to stop at a McToy supply store...

+geospotter Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Are you guys in 'survival mode'? Trail mix? Granola bars? When the cache is over a mile hike we will bring along chicken, wine, cheese, crackers, fruit salad, apples, maybe some sandwiches, and water. Sure, we have the granola bars in the pack, but they're getting pretty old. The homemade oatmeal cookies sound good. Quote Link to comment
+Geo Ho Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I generally bring cereal bars or granola bars, beef jerky or SlimJim type thing and water. If it's going to be a loooong hike, then I'll bring fruit and a sandwich. That's that . . . Happy caching and stuff! Quote Link to comment
+The Weasel Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 (edited) If I get the hunger pains out caching, I just shoot me a squirrel and eat him there on the spot Edited February 17, 2004 by The Weasel Quote Link to comment

tubby and Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 A Wagon Wheel is a tasty treat involving chocolate, some white creamy stuff and some wafer in a round patty kind of shape. They sometimes have jam in 'em too. The are wrapped in individual little baggies, perfect for lunches. They are popular in Australia and Canada through the Weston company. They have been featured as a biscuit of the month at nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Blueberry pop-tarts and Mountain Dew. I don't leave home without it, and I need nothing else for a day of geocaching other than a Camelbak filled with water, if I'm doing any real hiking or if it's in the heat of summer.

+bradtal Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I like to eat the soft raisins I find in little piles along the trail... Actually, I like bottled water and beef jerkey. Quote Link to comment
