mc2mens	04/25/2012 11:59AM Red wine and scooby snacks.
msnature	04/24/2012 02:41PM Cherry sours or Oreos Vodka Kool-Aid is a must for every evening tho.
BWPaddler	04/24/2012 02:23PM Raspberry Crumble (MH) is the thing we all fight over. Can never take enough. I don't do the chocolate on top, so basically it's just real dried raspberries and cornstarch or something into a really fresh tasting warm raspberry sauce. Mmmmmmmmm. A close second is Cache Bay vanilla pudding with whatever dried fruit I have on hand (strawberries or raspberries or blackberries typically).
Spartan2	04/23/2012 05:09PM quote crumpman: "Kanoes can have all of my watermelon Jolly Ranchers, I'll keep the rest. My wife kept calling Jolly Ranchers, Joly Rogers, we all call them Jolly Rogers now. Our special treat is cinnamon sugar rolls made by twisting biscuit dough on a stick, covering with cinnamon sugar and baking "marshmallow style" over a campfire." That is sort of amusing to me. . .Spartan1 is always calling them Jolly Rogers, too. :-) And those biscuit things sound yummy. Will have to try that!

MrBreeze	04/23/2012 04:58PM Glad to see I am not the only one who enjoys a good cuban cigar with his whiskey after dinner in the woods. Single malt is prefered over the Jack though.
crumpman	04/23/2012 10:33AM This summer my future son-in-law told us that the last time he went fishing his father fed him Teddy Grahams to keep him quiet. From here on, I will have Teddy Grahams for the lad on every trip. His dad passed away suddenly about a year and a half ago, I wish I had gotten to really know Bill.

Lemieux	04/23/2012 10:05AM Seagram's VO lake waters and any form of tobacco works for me! I prefer Jack but no one else in my group does. I might have to bring a personal traveler this year.
alpine525	04/23/2012 10:02AM Every night after dinner we have red wine and some type of chocolate. It's become our ritual to sit by the fire and sip the wine while watching the stars and listening to the loons.
keth0601	04/23/2012 09:48AM quote boonie: "quote keth0601: "quote boonie: " Never heard of Ginger People ginger chews, but I love crystallized ginger. Same thing...?" They're a chewy ginger candy with a tacky consistency similar to a caramel chew. They're not as strong as crystallized ginger but they've still got a very strong ginger taste. I used to chew on crystallized ginger a lot as well(helped me quit smoking). These have a more pleasant texture IMO and the wife likes them too(crystallized is too strong for her). They have a few different flavors too. I got a 5lb variety pack this year for our trip to the Caribbean since they work wonders for motion sickness." Where do you get them?" I got the variety pack on Amazon but you can usually find them in organic or health food stores.
schweady	04/23/2012 08:31AM Kenny's Candy Co. Strawberry Twists (far superior to any licorice, especially if straight from the factory). A close second are s'mores made with Keebler fudge-covered grahams. or maybe with peanut butter Oreos.
housty9	04/23/2012 08:00AM Oreo's and milk before bed time.

TeamTuna06	04/22/2012 08:58PM Bushmills and a cigar
Chilly	04/22/2012 08:14PM quote bassnut: "Ghirardelli" Heck yes! I pop one in on long portages.
mocha	04/22/2012 07:07PM jolly rancher "fire" flavor; black licorice tea; jiffy pop; and a few cokes in plastic bottles for the first few days.
Soledad	04/22/2012 05:34PM Lindt Dark Chili Chocolate is great, or some hot Danish Licorice
whiteh20	04/22/2012 05:21PM Cigar and butterscotch drops
dicecupmaker	04/22/2012 05:11PM Australian Style Black Liquorice.
Mongo65	04/22/2012 04:54PM 2 years ago I brought a liter carton of Merlot to go with the BW pizza night. Went over very well. My group also appreciates Jell-O mold treats.
Canoeski999	04/22/2012 10:27AM Roasted marshmallows with my crystal light and vodka
Savage Voyageur	04/22/2012 10:04AM A Cuban cigar and a cup of Jack Daniel's Kentucky Bourbon is also fine with me.
Spartan2	04/22/2012 10:00AM I get a lot of things from packit gourmet and now I am going to add these to my list. Look great! Thanks.

I pull them out after a day of portaging and everyone is happy. Also like packitgourmet's sticky toffee pudding cakes. Easy to do in a pan of boiling water with silicone baking cups. Yum! " Where do you get both of these, assuming they're a mix?" The mix is from packitgourmet.com. The silicone baking cups are these Super easy to make. Add water to mix, pour in the cups, and boil for about 15 minutes.

Never heard of Ginger People ginger chews, but I love crystallized ginger. Same thing...?
Captn Tony	04/22/2012 07:03AM Pringles and a salted nut roll for lunch.

kanoes	04/22/2012 12:51AM jigging for monks...no 13 striped ground squirrels were harmed in the filming.
bruceye	04/22/2012 12:13AM A tin cup of hot cocoa topped off with a snort of Tia Maria. A hand full of GORP to be shared with a red squirrel, mouse or camp jay. I'm already there.
kanoes	04/21/2012 11:18PM quote overthehill: " Fig Newtons or dried apricots." dried apricots...yes!

Those Ginger People ginger chews are the best! I have to hide them from the kids or the whole box is gone on the first day of the trip! We eat them while paddling and save our chocolate for around the fire.

h20	04/21/2012 09:41PM Back in the day it was sour balls. I have evolved to Jolly Ranchers.

SunCatcher	04/21/2012 09:26PM Blueberry Muffins in a Reflector Oven with Honey SunCatcher
Jeriatric	04/21/2012 08:51PM Whisky and a cigar while I stare at the stars and lake. It is most appreciated when I am solo.

TriTodd	04/21/2012 08:35PM Little Debbie fudge brownies. Oh yeah!
Scout64	04/21/2012 08:29PM A little Brandy.....
walllee	04/21/2012 08:27PM blackberry brandy,good cigar
GSP	04/21/2012 07:34PM quote mr.barley: "Red licorice twists." I second that as a second. THE BEST Are Serenity Seeker's homemade caramels!!!!!!!!! NO CONTEST
Spartan2	04/21/2012 05:58PM I tuck a small Hershey's Symphony bar (the one with the toffee chips and almonds) in the very bottom of the Rubbermaid food box before the trip. This is the box that we carry in the tent pack, and contains the staple items like pancake mixes, dry pasta, syrup, Bisquick, baking mixes, etc. and my Jello-mold oven and some cooking supplies. It also contains a little survival food, and the instant coffee and tea bags. The bar sits at very bottom of the pack where I don't see it and can't be tempted, but I know it is there. If there is a particularly difficult day, one with muddy portages, one that rains all day and is cold and gloomy, or one that I don't think was a good day, it is my comfort treat. And if I don't pull it out at all, that means that the trip was very, very good, and I'll eat it at the end of the trip for a celebration! I usually share it with Spartan1 (or offer to), but not always. :-) I never eat a Symphony bar at any other time, so it is saved for special.
Savage Voyageur	04/21/2012 05:53PM Popcorn and butter/salt, washed down with some crystal light/vodka drink.
bear bait	04/21/2012 05:43PM skittles fizzl'd fruits.
mr.barley	04/21/2012 05:42PM Red licorice twists.
kanoes	04/21/2012 05:37PM its a treat for the entire trip. jolly ranchers, especially partial to watermelon.
bassnut	04/21/2012 05:31PM Ghirardelli
gutmon	04/21/2012 05:30PM Lemon drops.
Sierra1	04/21/2012 05:19PM When you're in the BWCA at camp and ready to either retire for a night at the fire or make dinner what kind of special treat do you like to have. I like the Monster Mix trail mix from Target. That or a sip (or six) of Jameson before retiring for the evening.
