I'm kinda with oldranger on this one. We tend to carry 151 because of the bang for the pound. Our mix is:oldranger wrote:Cocktails (151 and lemonade or limeaide),...
1 poly bottle
2-4 oz 151
1/2 a "tub" of crystal light (fruit punch or lemon, or orange)
fill with water
Shake
Put on the headlamps, take out the cards, and play Pai Gow until we get tired.

Instant hot cocoa. Nothing says comfort on a cold dreary day better than hot cocoa heading down the gullet. Add a heaping teaspoon of instant coffee for some added kick.

Well, it's not strictly food or drink, but just as important at the end of a day on the trail, particularly if I have my fly rod out, would be a Montecristo Flor Fina robusto.

Chicken noodle soup for bad weather and 151 & Crystal Lite Lemonade and snow for good weather.
Tequila and hot cocoa is good too.

151 & Crystal lite is my favorite too.
BTW, I think that we met on the trail to Eagle Peak last year (June 21st I think). You where leading a group and asked me about the weather at the top.

a) smoked oysters. I always have one along for that day when I just need a bit more than peanuts and dried fruit for lunch. Plus my dog loves the oil for a special treat.
b) that can of Boddingtons that I stashed away for just the right moment
a and b together, in that perfect lunch spot, 4-5 days in with the rest of the world left behind = perfection. Can't wait to be there in about 8 days from today...

BTW, I always carry smoked oysters and assorted Sardines as well. So great on crackers in the mid-day..
