While I agree with Hubertus that a Snickers bar ain’t “real food,” I also agree with SteveMcD’s implication that among candy bars (not counting your high-end yuppie brands), Snickers is worth carrying. I don’t even particularly like them — I prefer my pnuts in the shell, esp. at happy hour, and not in candy or other “foods” — but I’ve learned that they are more “satisfying and lasting” than all other candies I’ve tried. Except of course my wife’s homemade chocolate fudge crammed with pecans. But try and get her to cook that during hunting season! 🙄 I hunt in pretty darned rugged country compared to most folks, yet unless I’m backpacking overnight I never have carried “survival food.” Just food. Canned chicken white meat is a great filler (just be sure to bring a ziplock bag to pack out the can). Snickers. Venison jerky if I have it. We can live for a really long time without food (and most of us would benefit from a week of “starvation”). We we can’t go long and still function without water. I personally rate staying warm first, water second, shelter third and food last. But then how many of us ever have or ever will truly need survival food for more than a night? It’s far more “comfort food.” I once backpack hunted for 5 days and 4 nights with just a big bag of trail mix, a few candy bars, a pound of venison jerky … and a pint of bourbon. I did not suffer.
