What kind of emergency snack/meal/drink/tools do you always carry with you in your hack pack? Mine are:
Drink:
Yerba mate (dried tea)
Yerba mate straw
5-hour-energy or similar
No-prep snack:
Nuts or granola bar
Meal:
Instant oatmeal packet
Ramen packet
Food-related hygiene:
Folding toothbrush
Small toothpaste
Dental floss (doubles as general purpose string)
Tools:
Collapsible silicone cup/bowl
Filtering water bottle
Spork
P-38 can opener
Knife (in multi-tool)
zip-lock bags
All of the food/drink items have in common that they don't weigh much and don't really go bad. We usually buy these items bulk and re-fill missing item when at home base.
I'm not sure I'm happy about the ramen (so salty) and all of the granola bars I've tried are so sugary (bleh).
