Usually try for something light-ish and easy to pack.

-Pb&j leaving the truck in the morning
-Cheese stick for late morning snack
-Pb&j and cheese stick for lunch
-Mixed nuts and/or venison jerky for afternoon/evening snack

Drink wise
-Can of cold brew coffee at the truck
-water from my pack bladder the rest of the day.
 
I'd like to try a bladder/camel pack some day again, I tried one in 2003-2004 and didn't like it much. If think they have gotten better tho, don't know how it would work with my pack on.

They work pretty well these days. I buy the 2L large opening bladders from Walmart, they are like $15, fit my pack and don't leak. When it gets colder in late season you do have to start keeping the water line in the pack instead of conveniently routed on the strap or it will freeze quickly.
 
I wear a hydration pack when I do off road motorcycling. The brand I use has a squeeze ball air pump which pressurizes it, bite on the tip and water is pumped into your mouth instead of your having to suck it out.

Makes life a little easier when you're riding. You can also squeeze the tip by hand and shoot water out if necessary, i.e. to wash a scrape or to give a drink to a friend who either forgot to bring or ran out of water.

Some of the best meals seem to be eating your kill that was cooked over your campfire outside the tent. I especially remember my brother and I eating Huns roasted on a willow spit in Montana the night of the Hearns-Leonard fight. After eating, we drove to the nearest little town and watched the last of the fight at a bar.
"Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Thomas Hearns, billed as "The Showdown", was a professional boxing match contested on September 16, 1981 for the WBA, WBC, The Ring and lineal welterweight titles. Wikipedia"

Good times. :thumbup:
 
20201102_200114.jpg Here you go, all put together for opening day on Saturday. From the local farm and Fleet, all 12 -16 oz packages. 2x pistachio kernels, 1x pecan halves, 1x Brazil nuts, 1x butter toffee peanuts, 1x honey roasted oat bran sticks, 1x corn nuts, 1x golden raisins, 1x sugared dried pineapple, 1x macadamia nuts, 1x praline pecan, 2x peanut butter M&Ms. I've estimated the calorie content at 1300-1500 per cup, so it's not for dieting. This is a serious cold weather survival food with a good balance of fat and protein with sugars and complex carbohydrates for quick to sustainable energy. And it tastes great too! A quart bag goes a long ways, and it's gotten me through some wilderness trips with weather too foul for cooking and/ or bad fishing.

Man that looks good, it's not often I like everything in a mix maybe leave out the corn nuts, I like them but there hard on the teeth. Yet I love those hard cracklins. I'd maybe add coconut and dried bananas. I'd like to try with small cubes of jerky mixed it to.

It changes a little bit every year. Make your own blend! I put goldfish crackers in it last year instead of the corn nuts. I liked it, but the wife vetoed. Turkish apricots were interesting one time. Right now the golden raisins are a hit. Found some weird peanut butter chunks one year. They were like the center of a butterfinger. Those were awesome, but can't find them anymore.

I put on 3 lbs. just looking at that concoction.
 
I have seen more Whitetail Bucks over the years when I put my Rifle against a tree , & move my shoulder holster to the side.
Getting out a pork or chicken sandwich ( must be the bacon Chipotle seasoning)... That's the occasion when I see deer moving.

PS. The Sage from the last of the herb garden is in my pockets ... Masks my smell about 80%. Hey, it worked for our old Native American Iroquois.

You mentioned cheese cubes and my mind went right to cheese curds :p you can take the boy out of Wisconsin, but you can't take the Wisconsin out of the boy (or any of those good cheesy places) :thumbup:

Haha I thought the same at first to but sliced cheese makes more sense, are cheese was saved for thanksgiving so only ever snacked on it till after. Plus I think the squeak from eating curds may scare game away lol.

I love soda but would be there all day trying to open it without noise lol.
