Cpt.Caveman Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 I eat a lot of greasy burgers and fries. Plus eggs bacon and potatoes for breakfast as well as pepperoni pizza and slug down a lot of alcohol as normal meals. Just curious what other people out there are grubbin on. Don't need to be serious if you don't want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 We forgot to pack a lunch yesteday on a long hike. I found 2 old "carrot cake" cliff bars in my pack and we each gagged one down. Pretty gross. I had to wash my mouth out with many beers to get the taste out after we reached the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 Hey Bronco. Just be glad those clif bars weren't apricot. You might have starved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambone Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 I'm stoaked about the new Cliff Bars with caffeen in them... it's like havin a cup of coffee in your pocket! The wannabe sport Ice climber on the wrapper is pretty cheesy though. Cavey, I'm right there with ya, the more grease the better! Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texplorer Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 I want to take a pic for one of those Patagonia ads with the "Commited to the core" captions below it. I'll be sitting on the hood of my 93 cougar with all my rock gear out and pouring mountain dew out of a 2-liter onto my sugar frosted flakes. Of course I'll have to borrow someone else's Pataguchi gear since I'm just a poor climber and don't own any myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizard_brain Posted October 2, 2001 Share Posted October 2, 2001 Salt cooked in grease....Mmmmmmmm! Good during AND after climbs. I usually take a can of pringles on a trip - they don't get pulverized like chips in bags do, but the cans do sometimes burst when you get up to higher elevations, so eat them on the ascent!

erik Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 i used to eat real bad, but since i have reached my enlightend point i tend to stay away from crap. i will admit that i am a sucker for a greasy cheese burger, but what good ole' american ain't. now it is fruite and veggies and the what not.

MysticNacho Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 I like eating sticks and twigs myself. Bark is good if your really desperate, although it can be gummy. Speaking of gummy, its a hard diet and I lost a lot of my teeth, and the ones that remain don't exactly attract the opposite sex. Why don't I eat plants you ask? Because I don't know the difference from a poison oak plant to an oak tree, and it scares me. Why not meat? Because I like my animals to be happy and fearless, not worrying about falling under the butcher's knife. Just like a hindu cow. Now that's a fearless cow.

Beck Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 Imitation Bac-os for salt replacement with snickers bars, peanuts or sesame snack crackers,oatmeal or granola, tang and cold instant coffee for breakfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal_Gravity Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 I used to eat those sesame snack crackers... but even I couldn't stand my own stench. Fart City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure it's those sesame things? I've never known those to cause that. I do know that the freeze dried meals make for pretty noxious fumes. The other week I just about gagged myself. Has anybody ever found the real cause of the proliferation of flatulence when in the outdoors? Also, does anybody have any ideas/solutions - like, does "Gas-X" or any other of those commercial products work? (hmm, maybe we should start a thread on this - seems like it could be a pretty entertaining topic.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 I think it's giardia from all that untreated water everyone's been drinking!! Freeze dried food is a definite culprit, shouldn't be eating this overpriced styrofoam unless your trips' going to be more than 5 days, pack good stuff instead, I've usually got fresh veggies for the first three days, always accounts for the heaviest bulk weight in my pack.

Terminal_Gravity Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing better ( or better for you) after a long day of GU & Cytomax than a big Greasy Cheese Burger with a side of prime rib and a pitcher of beer. If you play hard enough and burn those calories climbing, then eat what ever you crave. Unless, of course, you're trying to become the next Bobbi Bensman. I'm not and I'll bet Caveman is not either. My 2 cents. [This message has been edited by Terminal Gravity (edited 10-03-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 Landjager, baby! Original power meat snack food. More calories than wimpy jerky, keeps you warmer at night. I like eating tofu too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 I had pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner yesterday. I am working on developing some extra insulation for winter. Bring on the Carbs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libater Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 To answer the question regarding keeping Mr.Methane down... I have found activated charcoal tablets to be extremely effective.... also great for international travel in places where food is dubious.

Dru Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 A good cork or sphincter control works better than dietary changes. Winter is coming. 10 "logger special" breakfasts are a damn sight cheaper than a fancy-schmancy North Face jacket with electric heater coils!! Plus it gives the ladies something to hold on to.

Cpt.Caveman Posted October 4, 2001 Author Share Posted October 4, 2001 Does anyone eat the "Whole Barn" at the Reynold's in Lillooet? Yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikerwa Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 I think that the greasier the food the better. All of that grease keeps the muscles slippery, and in proper working order. And thanks to Cavey, I've been smoking a few more cigs as I am pouring many beers down my throat. sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 Dru: The other thing stored fat is handy for (that you cant do with a jacket) is when you run out of food you can live of it for 2 weeks while you body withers away.

Bronco Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 And why are you guys concerned about fartin' in the great outdoors? It's the best place to blast away!! I climbed with a guide a couple of years ago who considered it a refined form of pressure breathing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 farting is your body maintaining the pressure differential with low-pressure air at altitude. imagine if you didn't fart as you climbed everest. you might explode on the summit from the pressure gradient between your sea-level-pressure guts and the 8800m outsides.

EddieE Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 I hunt snafflehounds with my bolt gun. If I'm unsuccessful it's pepporoni sticks, corn dogs, coffee and beer. Power gel with double caffeine for bravery. If you drive up to Paradise with a sealed container of yogurt in your car, it blows up. It's kind of the same thing with your butt when you fart...hopefully its not as messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
