I've found kitchen bugs in one of my BOB's, long stored at home, once. Zip lock bag and the Cliff-bar pack itself didn't help to stop them from chewing through and feasting inside. The Nature Valley's Trail Mix bars on the other hand, in the same BOB were perfectly intact. I guess that's because they have natural honey as an ingredient and probably a better packaging. They are my preferred emergency food for long storage and EDC now:



- Trail Mix is packaged in smaller serving amount for quick snack on the go without crumbling around;
- it can be easily forced into a preferred shape right in the package to save space in the pack or other container, also without crumbling;
- it has a bit more calories per once 2x(140cal/1.2oz)=280 vs 240=1x(240cal/2.4oz) in 1 Cliff;
- and its taste is way better than any of Cliff's flavors.
