[at-l] Cold weather food management (was PB Question)

Cold temps require more advance prep...

Make the PB sandwiches ahead of time.  They are still good frozen and you 
don't have to try to spread the frozen PB.

Cut cheese ahead of time into small bite size chunks.  Even if they freeze, 
they'll warm up in your mouth and be great to eat.  Same thing with chunks 
of sausage.  Store them separately in ziploc bags or your cheese will taste 
like sausage.

Cookies, brownies, and crackers are all good when frozen.

Reese PB cups and Nutrageous are still easy to eat when frozen.  Snickers 
and Power Bars will crack your teeth when frozen.  :-)

Put offset tabs on your ziploc bags to you can open them with mittened 
hands.

Keep your water under as many layers of your clothing as possible to use 
your body temp to keep it from freezing.  Store it upside down so that when 
it does start freezing, it will be the "bottom" that freezes first and 
you'll still be able to open and drink the rest.
