Treestand snacks.
Was wondering what you guys take on long hunts for snacks. Not sure what is more likely to spook game though probably anything crunchy. If a buck gets downwind its over anyway.
I've considered water with a apple flavor packet.
Applesauce small cups.
Apples.
Spearmint gum.
Beef Jerky
Apple protein bars.
Peanut butter and apple jelly sandwich possible grape?
Baloney and cheese sandwich.
Can't drive 20 miles each way for food everyday of the rut.
Any other good suggestions?

Re: Treestand snacks.
Slice of Casey’s pizza in a ziplock is a winner.

That would be really good, but for me half hour after eating that slice I'd be at the bottom of the tree, finding a place to pop a squat.
I like things that take awhile to chew up, like jerky.

I know that feeling.
Marinara sauce and me don't get along either.

Beef jerky, granola bars ( a little noisy) , cup of coffee in sealed yeti if I'm running on little sleep and got up early.

Re: Treestand snacks.
I like to be hungry and uncomfortable when I hunt. I probably should take a sandwich, maybe I wouldn't shoot so many small deer. But uncomfortable keeps me alert.

Re: Treestand snacks.
Two of those big round pb&j cookies and a can of grizzly long cut wintergreen is all the snack I need for a all day sit.

He is keeping secret the time he ate that green leafy vine growing on the side of the tree. Poison oak must have been rough on exit.
Anyone for green persimmons?

Re: Treestand snacks.
Cheese sticks and not the fat free ones. Mixture of cashews, almonds and craisins during the rut. Water.

Re: Treestand snacks.
Usually do two roast beef and cheese and butter sandwiches for the all day hunts and cold enough where won’t get rotten or too smelly.
If I am trying to be healthy I will get a couple of the Epic brand meat stick things. The one with the egg and uncured bacon tastes awesome and has a lot of protein. I always unwrap those things ahead of time out the store packaging and put into a simple ziplock. Less noise and movement to open.

If you aren't green and growing, you are ripe and rotting

Re: Treestand snacks.
After trying a few different things over the years this is what I take with on all day sits:
3 apples
2 muscle milk protein shakes
4 slices of wheat bread with peanut butter
3-4 protein bars
4 twenty ounce bottles of water
Very easy to pack food for all day sits this way, either hunting locally or out of state. After hiking in, sitting on stand all day, and then hiking out and driving home or to the parking spot, I really don't feel like screwing around with food so the shopping "menu" for the rut for me is pretty simple. Bag of apples, protein shakes, loaf of bread, peanut butter, plastic knife, protein bars, and left over Gatorade bottles in the faucet.
When it is really cold out I bring a thermos of boiling water with and mix it with the bottled water to drink something warm throughout the day.
Have tried jerky in the past while on stand but it has a really strong odor and always seems to leave my hands smelling like jerky, which I don't really care for even when I'm not hunting. (That and if it gets caught in my teeth while on stand that is a huge annoyance - all day!)
Have tried trail mix in the past but can't seem to stuff it through my face mask and into the pie hole without dropping pieces all over the place! LOL.
