They freeze well. Try putting two or three in a ziplock so you have a stash ready to go. I bet they will last a couple of months in the freezer.

Breakfast: poptarts, cheeses, carnation instant breakfast with Nido powder, breakfast bars, dehydrated meals (like Mountain House)
Lunch: nothing, just nibble on gorp, candy, cheeses, snacks all day; don't have to waste time with a big stop

Forgot to add: You can use different nuts--I have used almonds and pecans--they are all good. For more calories, add a little bit of peanut butter.

SoCal Mike,

I made the bars that you shared with us.........Man They Rock ! Easy to make and if you love oatmeal like I do they are great tasting as well. Got the first batch in the freezer.

Sorry if I asked this question before how long do they last a room temp in a sealed bag? I'm going to be sending resupply boxes to my self and do want a nice shade of green on them.

Thanks again for sharing

Best,
Floyd

I like the smaller size jar of Jif or similar. I think it's 8oz of PB? Honestly, the little packets or tubs are just not enough unless you bring a ton of them.

I have brought the large squirt bottles of strawberry jam on the trail.

Breakfast is cereal and dried milk - usually raisin bran and/or granola with added dried fruit.

Lunch is usually English muffins with cheese and/or ham/turkey/beef (Buddig packets) or tuna. Plus cookies and chocolate or dried fruit. Koolaid or crystal light to drink.

I also sometimes do peanut butter, but DH doesn't eat nuts at all, so usually we do cheese instead. Our GORP has chocolate chips and raisins, but no nuts.

I really enjoyed nutella mixed with coconut oil on tortillas last week. The 'koka moka' Pro Bar was also a good start for the day.

Glad you like them. The praise goes to Sarah who shared the recipe in the link I provided. She's awesome. You didn't ask that one--you asked about freezing. Not sure how long they would last at room temp, to be honest. If you could vacuum seal them, I imagine they would last a bit longer. You might want to contact Sarah directly; she's always been responsive.

I have used the individual cup servings of Jif for basic lunches or just small Tupperware containers.
