    I only bring food on all day sits.. I do bring water though for morning and evening sits. Always have food back at the pick-up for the drive home.

    All day sits .... I like water still, and hot coffee if its real cold out (small thermos) food...granola, apples, jerky.

    Water and jerky for morning or evening sits. Water, jerky and a sandwich if it's going to be all day. I try to avoid anything with caffeine in it like coffee or chocolate and try to eat something in the morning with a high level of soluble fiber so that I don't have to worry about dropping bombs when I'm up in the stand.

    I almost forgot. I'm planning on making up some pine needle tea and taking it with me on cold morning sits. It's warm, tasty, controls scent (smells like a pine tree) and has high levels of vitamin C in it.

    I only get out on saturdays and every time I get out I "plan" on an all day hunt so I either take what even sandwhich I can make at the house (normally PBJ :nana:) But if not then I swing by the gas station and grab a pepperoni roll. I also start off my morning with a Real Tree energy drink. I prefer AMP but love the fact that the realtree ones are re-sealable.

    Tekel look into Monster Import if you want a resealable can. they have a black twist top on them that you can open and close. if you're good you can do it with one hand.

    Venison jerky, water or apple cider, homemade granola. But only if out all day, which is more often than I care to admit to my wife.

    Normally I don't take stuff to the stand with me. Last year I did take some apples, because my apple tree cranked out a zillion yummy apples. I would leave my facemask on and try to eat the apple. It was my entertainment in those really dull times out in the woods. I would put the apple core in the tree when I was done..... just so no one thought I was trying to bait with a slobbery apple core. :)

    Poptarts (in a ziplock), granola bars, and occasionally I like to eat chunks out of a salt block, for some reason I always tend to
    accidentally drop it and it rolls and lands about 20 yds from my stand, weirdest thing...jkjk, calm down Wardens!
