BOB foods

[bacpacker]

What kind of foods do you use or consider for use in your GHB or BOB?

My GHB has several breakfast bars, jerky, almonds, & a freeze dried meals.

BOB, will have jerky, almonds, dried fruit, Mainstay or datrex bars, & a few freeze dried meals.

I have a small folding Esbit stove that uses little solid fuel blocks. and a 1 Qt pot in the GHB. The BOB has a Coleman Peak one multifuel stove and 1 liter of fuel, plus a 2 qt pot. If I'm buggin out the wife will b with me so need to cook for 2 then.

What's everyone else carry and use.

In the backpack, I only have 5 MREs. Anything above that is hunting or Fishing time. But this is just a BOB.

Excellent topic.

Right know I'm rocking mostly MRE's and granola type bars. I have several esbit stoves with the trioxane fuel along with some full blown propane burners (although those are not in the bob)

I'm going to totally revamp my BOB's and emergency loadouts. I want to reduce weight, ditch crappy gear, etc. Part of that mission will include rotating out the MREs, adding more high calorie bars and some items like tuna (in foil bags) and maybe some nuts.

Looking forward to hearing everybodies thoughts.

I keep several foil packs of tuna, in addition to my MRE's. Got a few packs of ramen (can eat 'em dry like crackers or cook them). A few bottles of 5 hour energy. Some CLIF bars. And a pack of Mountain House Neapolitan ice cream as my "victory cigar/ mood enhancer"

never tried the ice cream is it any good? Tuna or chicken in pouches are very good. I've found the Luna brand bars are pretty tasty and really fuel me and the wife pretty well.

Actually, I really like them for what they are. And, after eating the other crap in my bag, they are that much better.

I broke down a couple mre's and I like the granola bars better than the clif bars. The tuna and chicken packs are great. Hard candy (Jolly Ranchers) is a nice little pick me up and store well.
