Ive never tried any of those products myself I just saw the add in Backpacker magizine and thought WOW! this could be good,finally I dont have to eat trailmix bars for lunch which can get old real fast. I normally eat a big breakfast like a MountainHouse and a few packages of oatmeal which packs lots of carbs and it usually holds me over till dinner,but those sandwiches from Bridgeford will be something I will have to experiment.
