So old Skool !!! But the oldies are goodies ..

I use the bite size OSM's instead now ... just as easy to take a bite on the move

He did too. Well it works well for me.

Never heard of OSM before this thread, got some of the 1/4 bars for a snack on my weekly walk with Dougie and Jet today...

Pretty good, bit too much sugar for my liking, but decent energy food in a handy size

If you guys aren't too manly to bake, seriously make your own stuff! The oaty/nutty trainsmash cookies I have made are a good low GI option, no (refined) sugar in them, loads of energy packed goodies and still taste yum.

The cranberry ones are certainly sweet. The original apricot is OK and the chocolate are best (according to my tastebuds).

Tx Rushy, yup, had the cranberry one, will try the apricot next.

And yes Dougie, I'll eat the "trainsmash" oat and honey biscuits again, they were good.

this is how we use to eat at nights. Spent too much time cooking, cleaning and drinking instead of been out on the ridge track at last light. One year I put on weight Now we just have premade casseroles with Maggi mash spud and bread

apricot osm is my favorite

Longer stay plain rice with extra's to add, a onion/ garlic or two is good for flavor too

I used to get some powered drink with electrolytes in it but can't get them from where I used to...must be still available?

If the truck can get there its a whole new menu

I buy tubs of powered Poweraid from the supermarket, it's about $12 in the 'lifestyle drinks' isle great for any type of workout if you are the running type as well

My twin keeps reminding me that that I used to say "Baking was woman's work" when I lived with the folks. I have to keep reminding him that I was usually baking with mum at the time. Got a recipe?

A food dehydrator is great. Do your favourite casserole, double bag and freeze ready for your next trip. Works with spag bol sauce, fruit, fruit leathers, ... etc. Buy stuff in bulk when cheap and freeze as it doesn't dry as much as freeze dry, but can generally be eaten "as is" if desired.

depends on how far and how long. at one stage it was salami and bread for breakfast lunch and tea lol. usually take dehydrated meals. muesli with milk powder mixed in. milk powder is quite high in protein so aids recovery of muscles as well. on a long trip with big days I take some supplements to help out. glutamine is a good one (helps prevent muscle break down, just add to water) it's a popular supplement for endurance athletes.

Yeah the man has that stuff but I like the taste of poweraid better and find it mixes better than replace.
