What’s everyone’s favorite lunch when hunting and hiking the mountains?

[Coffindaffer]

I’m looking specifically for lunch ideas here.

Preferably not dehydrated/freeze dried because I have no intent to carry a burner for
Boiling water

Y’all like sandwiches? Wraps? Just snack a lot on trail mix or bars? What’s everyone’s go to?

We’re going in and out of the woods every day, so breakfast and dinner are irrelevant. We’ll have those back at base camp

 

[BaconSammich199]

Usually just a random assortment of bars. I prefer to eat a bar every few hours vs just one meal. And a Snickers , always have a Snickers

 

[ODB]

Peanut butter and Jelly OR meat and cheese

And a snickers, always have a snickers.

 

[InkedElkSlayer]

Favorite?…
My wife’s green chili, shredded chicken enchiladas wrapped in aluminum foil.
Or, 2 jalapeño cheese elk smokies the same way. If I truly want to spoil myself, I butter and garlic salt the Hawaiian buns and toast them as well. Good energy for the packouts.

Tortilla
Sliced cheddar
Pepperonis
Pizza sauce in packets

 

[Northpark]

For the situation you described I love cold cuts and cheese and my own trail mix which is a pound of almonds a pound of dried cranberries and a pound of dark chocolate chips all mixed together.

 

[ElDiablito]

Cheese/salami
Justin’s Almond butter/crackers
Peanuts/raisins or almonds/dried cherries

 

[slowelk]

peanut butter, jelly, extra sharp cheddar cheese, bacon sandwich

 

[Back Country Hunter 2]

Epic Wagyu Beef Strip
4 Duke's Shorty Sausages
Kind Chocolate Bar filled with peanut putter
Dried apricots

I do tuna wraps sometimes.
ziplock of pepers and onions
A couple tortillas
To-go condiment packs - mustard or mayo or hot sauce
Tuna in the foil bags (rather than cans)
Good enough for who its for.

 

[BRTreedogs]

Bagel with cream cheese and summer sausage

 

[Scoot]

I eat the mountains for lunch!

This.

Peanut butter and Jelly OR meat and cheese

And a snickers, always have a snickers.

Also, a can of coke in the middle of the day sure is nice, as long as you have a way to keep it cold. The can itself hardly weighs anything, so it's not that different than carrying water.

 

[Geewhiz]

Starkist buffalo chicken. It will change your life.

 

[Lowg08]

Tortillas with peanut butter, smoked almonds, peanut butter crackers and some gummies.

 

[AndyB]

peanut butter, jelly, extra sharp cheddar cheese, bacon sandwich

This , only on a Tortilla with 2 rashers of Bacon, comes out at over 700 kcal.

By this logic we can carry beer too! I like the way you think.
