FOOD
This is important. I packed the minimum amount of food. Bad idea lol. Take more than you think you need. You will be starving the whole time!
Breakfast
Instant oatmeal was great. If you get the normal sized packs, you'll want to double those up. My favorite was Banana Nut! Gina loves Apples & Cinnamon.
Mountain House freeze dried meals are where it's at. We loved the breakfast skillet, spicy breakfast hash, and biscuits & gravy! (wished we had some sort of hot sauce with the skillets. We also packed tortillas to make breakfast burritos. YUM) We made coffee every morning! Folgers and Starbucks have instant packages that were perfect.
Peanut butter and honey tortilla roll ups
Trail mix
Pepper Jack cheese sandwich crackers
Oat and Honey granola bars
Beef jerkey
Welches fruit snacks
Fruit roll ups
CANDY
Go ahead. Pack the candy. You'll need it.
Hot chocolate was a perfect after dinner treat, especially on cold nights!
