Here are some personal and group snack favorites:

-  dried watermelon (from fresh, the yellow-fleshed ones are awesome)
-  dried cherries (from fresh or canned tart cherries)
-  dried cranberries (commercially prepared as craisins)
-  dried pineapple (from canned chunks)
-  dried banana chips (from fresh bananas)
-  dried apricots (commercially prepared, Turkish)
-  fig newtons (or cranberry newtons)
-  smoked cheese and crackers (commercially prepared)
-  beef sticks (commercially prepared , Hickory Farms)
-  smoked venison (dry, not chewy)
-  hot tamales (the red cinnamon candies, replaced atomic fireballs - a choking hazard)
-  dried smoked salmon (from canned smoked salmon, just a pinch between cheek and gum)
-  dried tomatoes (from canned, diced (or crushed) and spiced tomatoes)
-  dried green olives (from prepared jars - really salty)
-  boullion cubes (another salt kick)
-  instant pudding (peanut butter chocolate is my favorite, but hard to find lately)
-  Gatorade drink mix (allows me to happily hydrate more often)

What I crave after a few days is chocolate milk and Coke Classic.
