For snacking during the day and during the times when I'm riding the fire/logging/mining roads of Northern Ontario Canada I like to carry nuts, cashews and other dried fruit in small zip-lock bags in a handlebar bag. i recently discovered the slide seal bags that are eaier to open and c losethan the zip-lock type of bags.

Because my tours are around two weeks average and are totally self-supported I prefer to use light weight food from the supermarket. I'll buy noodles, instant potato mix and similar stuff and then supplement that with freeze dried meat or dried meat. I really miss the Magic Pantry entrees of yore.

One thing to watch out for though is a sudden change in diet from normal at home food to tour specific food can lead to loose movements of the bowels.

Cheers
