I am a firm believer in a good trail mix in a large ziplock bag. For day trips, I pack 1 large bag and 1 small snack bag -then refill the snack bag as necessary. The large bag stays in the pack and the small bag goes in a pocket for quick retrieve. My homemade GORP list includes:

CHEX Party Mix - Bold Flavor
Peanut M&Ms
Banana Chips
Pre-Shelled Sunflower Seeds
Peanuts, Cashews, Almonds and/or Walnuts (any combo)
Dried Cranberries

This has become such a popular mix amongst my outdoor compatriots, we don't bother with meals on the trail (or paddling), we just graze all day. That's my list and I'm sticking to it!
