Me too. Hiking in the Rockies the altitude killed my appetite for almost anything, had slim jims for breakfast though, about the only thing that had a taste I could eat.

I prefer jerky. I came up with my own marinade to monitor the salt content. Same idea as the slim jim: Great on-the-go protein bump.
4.5 pounds of london broil (raw) = 1.5 pounds of jerky (dehydrated)

I used to eat them as a child.
Then I learned how to read a nutrition label:

I make Pemmican for three day or week long backpacking trips.
It is easy to make and packs lot of nutrients.
There is also fat free recipes as well.

i like them too,but i buy the pepperoni sticks at walmart(the big ones for pizza making) then just cut a hunk off that its alot cheaper.
Slim Jims are horrible for you. They might be tasty, but they are also deadly. Yes read the label!

Actually I don't see deadly on the label. Or is it the mechanically separated chicken?

If I fed them to my dog and tried to sleep in the same tent with him they probably would be deadly...if you'd ever hiked with Ruger you'd know what I mean.

Enjoy your sausage. But don't ask to see how it's made.

Its right there next to twinkies in my book of eeewwwe.... Rugby likes them .... But I don't buy it anymore.....
I love making my own jerky and have gotten very good at it. My freinds cant wait to try the latest batch. Have you considered Jacks wild side instead?
