Re[2]: [at-l] Power Foods for Backpacking

     Two quick responses:
     1) DON'T BE DISSIN' MY POWERBARS, MAN!!!
     2) Powerbars are great for endurance sports (for which they're made), 
     but regular ol' GORPage (peanuts, raisons, M&Ms) pack a much more 
     potent punch for backpackers, nutritionally, calorie/weight wise, AND 
     financially. I constructed a PowerBar-equivalent GORP serving (from 
     the nutrition labels) last year, and gorp kicked major (hiking) booty.

     (Major PowerBar fan, but also, hey, a hiker. (Which is to say, Don't 
     try running with Gorpage as your fuel, or you'll be wearing it before 
     too long. Bleah!)
