[pct-l] alternative to bread?

[Jim & Jane Moody]

T o give some variety, I switch around among bagels, English muffins, pita bread, sandwich rounds, and tortillas.  You can also carry crackers in a stiff co ntainer, such as a Pringle's can.

Subject: [pct-l] alternative to bread? 

Hi to all 

In my hiking, both short and long distance, I carry bread for my lunch as 
my starch (supplemented by tuna for protein) as well as for snacking 
(peanut butter sandwiches). I carry one loaf of whole-wheat bread for 4 
days worth of lunches (i.e 4 slices per lunch, 16 slices in a loaf). I then 
carry more bread for snack stops. My problem is that it takes up lots of 
space in my pack. I have tried less bulky tortillas, but they go moldy 
pretty quickly. 

Can anyone please recommend an alternative starch that I can use for lunch 
and snacks? I want it be less bulky than bread, provide the same 
nutritional value and not require the use of a stove or preparation prior 
to eating (no noodles, couscous etc) . 

Many thanks, 
Gideon
