    Just doing a little survey. What food do you take in the stand or blind for a long hunt?

    Not much. I'll usually have a bottle of Mt. Dew, and maybe a pop tart or some jerkey.

    I generally only take a bottle of water. On a typical work day, I wake up eat a light breakfast like a granola bar, then Idon't eat at all until dinner, after dinner I eat until I go to bed.

    So it's not a big deal for me to go in the stand and not eat all day.

    As much as I can carry!! Cold season I'll bring a Stanley thermos full of coffee and a Stanley thermos full of oatmeal. It's amazing how good steaming hot oatmeal is at 11am when it's 20 degrees!

    Cliff bars! But the wrappers are really noisy, so if I'm really on top of things I open them and put them in ziplock bags.
    Apples, definitely for my breath on the way into the stand, and snacking.
    I basically stick to that.
    I think jerky smells too much, atleast my homemade venison jerky.

    Soft Peanut Butter cookies and bottled water. If it is an all day sit, I will do a protein bar. I have learned to put them in a Ziploc bag to keep down on noise.

    For whatever reason Snickers bars are the first thing I throw in my bag. And usually just take a bottle of water. When I was younger though I would take a full on meal turkey sandwich, crackers and cheese, grapes, Snickers, and water.

    In the tree stand, which isn't that often, minimal. In the blind, which is often in the morning, a thermos of coffee and some fiber one bars. I usually don't crack any of it open til after an hour of light, though. With my kids, everything in the pantry. It sounds like we're making a five course meal in there but on a windy day it isn't a problem.;)

    Sandwiches, Cliff Bars, Energyy Drink, peanuts, water. I used to eat a lot more but now that I am getting older my metabolism is slowing down and I am not as hungry.
