^ agreed- extra calories for warmth and energy should be high on the list, particularly in cold weather- not talking weeks of food, an extra 1500-2000 calories would easily suffice (6-8 bars or the like) 12-15 oz well worth having, especially if you get lucky and connect w/ a animal Mt or anyone else- What kind of bars do you normally carry with you? Been looking at a few options lately.

Probars are good, about 400 calories each. Add a foil pouch of Justin's Almond butter slathered on top and that's 600 calories that are about the size of a hockey puck. My other favorite is Kind bars.

Kind Bars are my favorite. But I am really not that picky and will eat just about any of them. However on my one or two day trips I take a Burrito from Chipotle with me. I don't get sour cream or guac on it just rice, beans, meat, and whatever extra's you like. It keeps really well and is a solid meal that is filling. No cooking, cleaning, just fast easy real food.

Generally I pack Mojo bars (Cliff)- like the taste Not a bar, but I almost always have a couple of bagel/peanut butter/bacon/honey sandwiches with too- they keep very well and loaded with calories. Last year on day 1 of the Bob Marshall Open, I packed a large burrito with for lunch- I'm telling you that tasted really good!

Nothing like a butthole sandwich huh. Do you use precooked bacon or cook your own when making them?

A lot of guys listed 2 headlights. I've never had one fail and fresh batteries will last me weeks. I had mine fail years ago on Kodiak with a bag full of bloody deer meat, just as night fell and we were still a mile from camp. Talk about pucker factor! Luckily, the guy I was hunting with was an Airborne Ranger and quickly provided me one (of his two) backups. That was the first time I'd heard the adage "one is none, two is one...." Since that day, I carry duplicates of most of the small essentials.

Bet it took you a full day to unclench! We have a lot of headlamps. I'm a believer and will have a spare.

yeah that would be the name of them I cook the bacon at home; I've used them up to five day trips without any problem- I'll sometimes use the mini bagels instead of the regular size ones and pack two for every one of the regular, eat a late morning one and then another in the afternoon

One trick with the bagels is put them in a ziplock with a book or plate over them and stand on it until they’re flat. Same nutrition and packs way smaller. I like the “everything” bagels.

Bacon and peanut butter, I'm gonna try that combo this year. I like to use pita bread for my packable sandwiches, it's indestructable.

I am always horseback, so I take a few extra things. A saw and hatchet, a slicker, bare bones horseshoeing stuff, quick tinder of some kind, my daypack, extra wool socks and leather gloves, a spare clip, spotting scope and short tripod and cheesecloth. Tea and a Billy Paul....'bout it.
