Just looking for some "non-cooking" ideas for breakfast and lunch. I already have sandwiches for lunch but am looking for a little variety for our 6 day trip.

Thanks all,
Bobby

I always make lunch a cold smorgasbord. Great on the trail or in camp. Pull out the lunch stuff sack and set out tortillas, pita bread, crackers, peanut butter & jelly, cheese & salami, jerky, leftovers, granola bars, GORP, dried fruit, candy, and whatever else is on hand. Then let folks fend for themselves. It offers plenty of variety and allows picky eaters to take what they like and not go hungry.

I also throw in a few packages of cup-o-soup for times when you are in camp and want something warm - just heat up some water.

For breakfast, well, breakfast doesn't have to be breakfast food, so see above. Otherwise, there are breakfast bars, tang, cold cereal with powdered milk (or boxed shelf-stable milk), bagels or english muffins with peanut butter and jelly, etc. A quick water boil, however, will yield oatmeal, coffee and coaco, and hot water to rinse your cup and spoon.

Ditto-I'm like bannock

Lunch-

Cheese and salami in tortillas, PB in tortilla, Tuna fish on crackers or in a tortilla-I think you get the idea. I sometimes also bring fruit or pudding cups that need no refrigeration, some gorp or fun size candy bars and almost always I have some jerky for at lunch and on the trail.

Breakfast

Breakfast oatmeal bars
Dried fruit
granola and fruit
Granol bars.

I find a hot breakfast takes very little extra time as the water can be boiling while I am packing. Seeing it is only hot water for oatmeal there is little to clean. I boil enough water for a cup coffee, oatmeal and cleaning up my coffee cup and oatmeal bowl before heading off. Really takes no more time then a cold breakfast.

We do bagels and cream cheese with some smoked salmon and salaami with crackers and of course GORP. Breakfast and dinner is always hot and cooked.

Beer & Whiskey?

Don't Pirates have Rum for breakfast?

I like the smoked salmon idea!

Bannock, Do you ever prepare bannock?

We bought a roll of Homestyle Hard Salami at Zups on the way in this year and it was gone in a couple days! No cooky=no messy. It was easy, but separating the thin slices of swiss on day two was tricky.

Pop Tarts and Oatmeal for breakfast and summer sausage, cheese and crackers for lunch. On layover days maybe pancakes and a hot lunch. I hate to cook a big breakfast and most of all clean up after a big breakfast.

Best breakfast I make is Bacon (shelf stable) and cheese English Muffins. Assemble and put over fire or stove for a few minutes inside of a pot/pan oven to get it melted and gooey.

No cleanup required.

"Bannock, Do you ever prepare bannock?"

Yeah, that's how I got the nickname. :) Tripmates gave me the name before I ever participated on an internet bulletin board. I prepared some and the group members had never heard the term before. They half suspected it was a name I made up, so they started teasingly calling me Bannock. It stuck. :)

bass, as a matter of local pride most northern pirates drink Windsor...

however, I have had more than one Captain/Coke in my day!!
