Re: Favorite Bars
Just finshed about 2 hours of mostly just looking around in the Boise Food Coop during a break in my grandpa duties. Finally noticed the Pro Bars that Maverick mentioned to start off this thread. Like the Idea of 370=/- calories per bar. Just about what I consume for breakfast when I have cereal/oatmeal. No cooking and maybe a little more compact, especially if I take them out of the wrappers and pack together in a baggie. Had one for lunch and it tasted pretty good. I'll see how they work this summer.

Re: Favorite Bars
So, should I bring you a few Pro Bars the next time we meet up instead of the Larabar
Cherry Pie?

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

I just hope we cross paths again. I'll probably bring both!

Re: Favorite Bars
Picked up a few at REI on the way to our early spring shakedown hike on the AT. They're fine, but expensive and not really any better than Lära bars, imho. I was also surprised by the huge empty space in the wrappers they come in; what's that about, do you suppose? Make them look bigger in the store? We'll definitely put them into the mix (I find I get bored easily if I just have one or two kinds of bars along); thanks for the suggestion, all!oldranger wrote: Finally noticed the Pro Bars that Maverick mentioned to start off this thread.

Re: Favorite Bars
found something in the organic isle at the super market:
"earnest eats granola plank"
http://www.earnesteats.com/our-foods/planks.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
not the most efficient in pack size (air bubbles), but 380 calories from a 3oz bar, and quite yummie, not much water in them. various flavors. Taking them on Whitney in a week - will report back how they perform in the field

The original power bar. My favorite. Great with peanut butter.

Re: Favorite Bars
Whatever happened to Pemican or Wilson's Meat Bars? Does anyone else remember those?
I have drifted away from "bars". I prefer a bag of nuts and dried fruit and jerky. As others have said, the bars are just to sweet for long term consumption. And those coated with chocolate (unforunately most bars) just make a huge mess.

Re: Favorite Bars
God, yes I remember them! The first (and only) time I took a Wilson's Meat Bar along, my buddy surreptitiously got out his camera, but I saw him. "What's that about?" I asked. "Oh, I just want to see your face when you take your first bite of that bar," he said. Eeeeeeyew! He was right!Wandering Daisy wrote:Whatever happened to Pemican or Wilson's Meat Bars?
