Lemon cous-cous?! What's that like? With the additions it sounds surprisingly nice (and light needing only water)...

Nielsen Brown said...

Thanks Maz and its available at Føtex. I also like cous cous with Tuna for shorter trips.

I can't see any booze?....

Maz said...

For sheer lightweight bang for your gram it has to be a bit of port. Quite classy too, if you add a bow-tie to your kit list (23g).

hrXXL said...

wow 780g is ver much. I only need 500-600g per day with round about 2700-3000 calories

Eat Natural bars are great but very expensive. Cranberry, macadamia and dark chocolate is my favourite variety.

Nielsen Brown said...

Joe and Maz, booze is not a food so therefore not shown ; )

Hrxxl, yes I carry possibly a little more than I need, but I usually come home with no spare food. I snack a lot on the trail.

Gavin agree about the price of the bars, but as you say they taste great so for a long trip I use them, but not for an overnighter.

Roger said...

Looks like a nice combo. You will defenatly not starve on the trip.
Very nice with the snacks on the trail. It keep up the speed and increase the distance.
But cant see any liqorice?! Neccesary. Especially the salt ones.

Maz said...

Danes and Liqorice. Dear God...

Nielsen Brown said...

Thanks Roger and Maz, I live in Denmark but am not a fan of liquorice (salted or unsalted)

Roger, yep, I do not expect to go hungary.

I like the Ritter's Sports bars too, also because they are loaded with calories. But they turn into puddles on me in summer, so I mostly use them in winter.
