how about putting your snacks in a small lock and lock or tupperware? That way, It wounldn't get crushed. You could have hooah, snickers etc inside without worrying....

Jerky? Hard candy (wrapped) like Werther's? Dried fruit?

I would look at trail mix bars/gorp bars. Trail mix is trail mix for a reason. Doesn't go bad, has some sugar and some protein and doesn't crush (well it does but it doesn't matter, so you tip the bag in your mouth rather than eat it like a bar). Whatever you decide on, carefully evaluate the protein/sugar/fiber content. Having your glucose level spike quickly then drop is not optimum in most situations. I always mix in oats, and recommend you do the same. Most recipes are a little too fast carb for me, and the oats help balance it.

I'm not familiar with a lock-and-lock, but so far hard sided containers are too bulky to fit in my Jumbo unfortunately. Barely room for two snack bars. FWIW, the Snickers melt. Thanks for the ideas tho. -john

CLIF bars (available from REI and elsewhere, but not in New Zealand). I seem to recall liking the carrot cake ones and one of the chocolatey ones. Mmmm.
Here in New Zealand we have "One Square Meal". It's two bars made from apricot, oats and nuts and other stuff, which are packaged side by side to make a square shape (about 5" to a side). Each square is a fully balanced meal (it is alleged). It's more like tramping/sporting fodder than survival stuff. I don't think eating three "One Square Meal" packets a day would be good for you after a few days.

go to the supermarket and look at the snack section, choice what you like, try it at home. When you like it buy it more often. Buying "special" foodbars and stuff is way to expensive, for something that i may eat daily.
