The ultralight philosophy has given marketers a heavy opportunity to respond in kind. I am going to start marketing NOTHING. I will even promote my product's ethical reduction of packaging by not using any. Interested parties in my ultralight product can donate 29.99 to ETS.

Is this organic? If so, I might be interested in getting some. (Also, can you let me know if it was tested on animals?)

Hey, if they can sell air guitars, boxes of rocks, and dehydrated water on e-bay, no reason you can't do it too...

I've thought about this as well. Since I generally loose 20 pounds on a hike I know that I have the stores there if needed. But is that optimal? I think there's a certain amount of morale building in being able to actually chew on something, at least for me.

My solution was simple and classic: Pemmican. Very calorie dense from all the fat. Provides a nice morale boost, something I think about more as my son gets older. and reasonably easy to store and carry. I just rotate it out when I make a new batch and haven't noticed any ill effects from 3 months in my pack.

Another nice advantage is that you can make it into whatever sized pieces you want. I've never messed with it since I always have a day pack with me but I think you could reasonably make small bars for a pocket kit.

MRPrice,

Do you have a good recipe for it?

Mike

I'll have to look when I'm home for the right ratios but pemmican is really straightforward

Pound, food process or otherwise pulverize jerky of choice into somewhere between granular and powder

Add some berries if you like 'em

Melt some tallow and then pour it over the powdered jerky. I use muffin tins since it makes it easier to be consistent.

I've noticed some people take some time to get used to it. I'll look up a more proper recipe with better instructions when I get home tonight

I'm interested in any and all types of recipes like this... Once again, why we should have a food / recipe section.

Hudson Bay Bread
Recipe Ingredients
• 1 Cup butter, softened
• 1 Cup of sugar
• 3 Tablespoons light corn syrup (or a little more)
• 3 Tablespoons of honey (or a little more)
• 1/2 Teaspoon vanilla
• 9 1/2 Cups finely ground rolled oats (I can only get 6-7 cups in, it gets too hard to mix)
• 1/2 Cup sliced almonds (I never use ‘em)
Serves: 6
This was a European staple before workers of the Hudson Bay Company packed it along on beaver-trapping excursions into what is now the American West. No light snack, this early energy bar reportedly stoked the metabolic fires of Sir Edmund Hillary as he ascended Everest.
At Home: Cream together the butter, sugar, syrup, honey, and vanilla. Grind the oats using a food processor or coffee grinder, then slowly stir in the almonds and oats. Press it all into a 13 x 9-inch pan. Bake at 325:F for 15 to 20 minutes. Don’t overcook; it crumbles. As soon as you remove it from the oven, press the mix firmly with a spatula (VERY important). Cut into squares and let cool in the pan.
Calories: 400 Carbohydrates: 54.36 Cholesterol: 33 Dietary Fiber : 2.8 Fiber: 3.4
Protein: 9.1 Saturated Fat: 8.3 Sodium: 129 Total Fat: 17.4

Be advised that this mix becomes VERY difficult to stir as it gets thicker. I don't know if a power mixer with something like a dough hook would help or not...

Sounds tastey. I have said mixer with dough hook. I bet it would do the job.
