Tom fats are your densest calories so pack nuts, but low sodium ones. Usually raw or roasted almonds are in my pack. Also, instant parboiled rice is quick and sticks to yer ribs, brown rice comes this way now. If yer going for a week trip from your home and back, then you could prepack all your meals by roasting down a bunch of stuff then packing it. CHEESE is my favorite trail food though high in sodium if the hard cheddars, Italian types <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
