Mmmmmmmm, Pemmican! Modern version with Crisco butter-substitute shortening (OK or rendered bear fat if you kick it old school), variety of dried fruits & nuts: cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, mango, papaya, apricots etc. pistachios, cashews, macs, almonds etc. Different flavor every day. Never another raisin or peanut. Keeps at room temp, forms to whatever shape fits best. Especially for long distance hikes: high fat content in nuts and shortening: fat is much more efficient energy by weight. 9 cal/gm vs 4 cal/gm for carbs & protein. For every additional ounce of fat you carry, eliminate 2+ ounces of carb or protein. And how do you spell flavor? F-A-T. Wash down with real lemonade or limeade made from powdered juice. Mmmmm.
