Power bars and Clif bars are a no-go for me. I know a guy who keeps a power bar in his "survival kit" because he knows he won't be tempted to eat it unless his life depends on it. And ten years later it'll still be just like new. Knew a woman who did long distance bike races, she liked 'em because she could cut them into quarters and stick them to the bike frame, peel them off and eat as needed.
Clif bars are just too sweet for me.
"Power Bars: They'll be there when you need them!" My sentiments exactly. Only a starving man would partake. The drawback is that they are so rank, they may cause vomiting, which makes a survival situation more dire. Trail mix for me. Kar's makes the best commercial varieties, IMO. Actually, my homemade mix is better as I use dried cherries instead of raisins. Add some nuts, M&M's and sesame sticks for a tasty mix. Also, Tedthorn speaks wisdom with the PB&J tortillas. They are filling, tasty and stupid easy.
