#3 Make a friend for life.....

After about the fourth day of a rigorous trip, suddenly and unexpectedly produce a Hershey chocolate bar and hold it out to your canoeing partner.

The response is quite profound, mesmerizing to the recipient. Time seems to stand still while your breath is suddenly halted, your heart rate increases and your eyes widen as they focus on the glimmering wrapper. It gives new meaning to the term "shock and awe"  Wink

Never made a friend with chocolate (although I think my wife has. . . ) but I have made plenty by sharing the jug.  To each his own I guess. Undecided

Your last trip partner handed me a beer one time.  Much better than a candy bar.

Please Darrel, tell me MT isn't referring to moment you two shared on a recent trip.  I refuse to believe this took place between the two of you.

Don't like my humor PJ? How about this........bring what ever nutritional supplement that floats your boat. After bustin our tails for 4 days that chocolate bar really hit the spot and from now on I will sneak a few treats along to share with who ever I'm with.

You know what? You win. I was going to present some other items that could of provided a little something to chew on but why subject myself to PJ and his scathing commentary?

Whoa, nice hat Magic!  Thumbs Upup

FWIW - I came home with 5 Hershey bars. I took 6. Kid saw the leftovers in a bag and asked if I wanted to split one (our usual agreement). I said no, go for it.

A few minutes later she comes back asking what's wrong with the 'em and here you go. (it was way more than half)

Parts were still melted and other parts were like Styrofoam.  Huh  The almonds were still pleasing however. After my first disappointment, I ate the PF Brussels I added as a last minute whim for desert.

Candy is heavy but it makes me smile way more up there than here. You can't screw up Scittles or red licorice. Even the one pretzel stick I came home with tasted like a Zip-Loc bag.

ha! we used to take bags of skittles. the year we swamped, my little brother thought hed save space and poke a pinhole in the bag. he sealed it with scotch tape. after the 1 and 1/2 hour subsurface adventure, the entire bag was a slimy gooey glob of deliciousness.

i usually try to sneak in some special treat or meal for the group. the day i figure out how to pack in cheese for the 2nd to last day for an over the fire pizza, im totally doing it

Buy some of those little Baby Bell cheeses sealed in wax. Figure out how many you need for pizza(s).
Get a little mini-grater from a gourmet packer site.
Vacuum bag your portion size. Store in center of food sack. Get's real hot, put cheese bag in canvas bag. Wet and put back in food pack.You want the wet bag to be able to dry/evaporate/cool.
I think unless it's brutally hot, you would be okay.

Ah, probably because you have quite a bit more history together. I am not at beer level status.
