What is your go to home made hunting snacks

[bard]

What is your go to snacks when in the back country? I prefer bringing home made over always having chocolate bars and store bough trail mix. My two favorite are Protein power balls and Smoked Chex mix. For the protein balls I tend to go with

Peanut butter, ground oats, protein powder, honey, and chocolate chips. I am not fussy on what protein powder. I have used vanilla, but prefer salted caramel and snickerdoodle. Simple but great tasting and seems to last a long time out of the fridge. way prefer it to just protein or chocolate bars. works great as a quick breakfast as well.

for the chex mix I like the normal stuff along with bugles, mini beagles, up the nut content including macadamia nuts. I like the recipe off hey grill hey for the sauce. Meat church voodoo rub is great on it.

I don't really make anything, but caramel m&m's are a gamechanger for trail mix for me.

Peanut M&M’s were what God ate on his 7th day of rest, so I do the same while I’m in the mountains.

For homemade, I just enjoy some jerky. Or a bacon-Nutella tortilla wrap. Don’t knock it til you try it.

Mixing peanut & caramel M&Ms in my mouth is my version of homemade.

Not homemade a heck of a way to hit sugars carbs and proteins. 1 rice crispy treat, peanut butter on that and summer sausage on that. Sounds horrible but it’s actually good

Did the link not go through?

If not, I’ll have to ask her how much she adds of each. It’s one of those recipes she just keeps in her head.

My bad.

It looks like we posted at the same time. I didn’t see your post.

I was referring to the ones that @bard mentioned in the original post.

Peanut butter balls like you minus the protein powder. I throw some crushed walnuts in there also. Homemade jerky is my #1 and I usually pack 1-1.5 lbs for a 3 day hunt. I like pistachios the flavored kind, sunflower seeds and lots of electrolytes are some essentials. Dehydrated strawberries are wonderful also.

Eating the last bit of last year's elk in jerky form tends to fire em up during archery season.

I dont know why but skittles have become a staple for me! I usually do them with cashews and gummy bears... but after a few days in the cold the gummy bears will work your jaw. I think I am just going to swap them out for swedish fish this year.
