Food in the field

[joshkk]

Greetings, all!

I wanted to hear from people what sort of snacks and food they carry with them while big game hunting. If you're out for 12-14 hour days during elk season and covering terrain, you've got to eat! I am hoping for advice about specific foods in relation to things like minimizing scent, ease of consumption, etc. I am also curious to hear about how people package their food, like how to avoid the crinkle of a ziplock bag.

Thanks!
Josh

I like sausages like landjaeger or a chunk of summer sausage, an apple or banana, a chunk of cheese and hershey's bar. Lots of water. This what I eat when I am hunting

Trail mix and water when out in the field. Non-perishable protein and carb bang for the buck right there!

Hey, a peanut butter and a nanner sammich is hard to beat even when it's smushed in the baggie, you just turned it inside out and lick it off the bag.
Messy, Hell yeah but it tastes so good!!!

Cold turkey or chicken.

Pressure cooked yams.

Lots of water.

Might have dried papaya or kiwi or regular bananas.

Ziplocks are the norm. I pack my extra clothes around it.

It's good to not see mention of canned foods here.. lots of them are good fare but might kill you given a couple freeze/thaw cycles.

Oh, and a touch of Moose Milk on a cold fall morning, afternoon or evening!!!

 

[DuneHopper]

Shortloin Jerky peppered, water/, some Mint, a twinky, deviled ham sandwiches, dried banana chips and apricots.
a water purifier just in case. About everything food related, I leave in the truck water and dried fish snacks. ( added forgot small sandwich bad of Doritos I like them, and they light up easy if needed.)

 

[Certaindeaf]

Who needs food...

Heck most of these knuckleheads around here don't even get out of their trucks. Easy to carry a big mac and fries in the cupholder. lol.

Landjaeger is great! My usual source has dried up (Ha!) so every once in a while we go to Hess in Lakewood and buy a few pounds of it.
