I think you made a good purchase.

We keep a 3600 cal Daytrex block in each vehicle, and a 1200 cal Mayday food bar in each backpack. They last a long time, and taste way better than pine bark or nightcrawlers. Who cares about long-term nutrition? You're lost in the woods and you need carbs for energy! And at $7.00?...a big ol' burger costs that much.

When there is nothing else, we have Daytrex or Mayday.
