[pct-l] #45 Super Secrets of Backpacking

#45 - Switchback's Super GORP - You know how we like to get double or  triple 
duty out of our gear and supplies.  My latest recipe for trail GORP  is for 
breakfast and for snacking on the trail.  Take some granola and mix  with nuts 
and fruit for a powerful combination.  You have a very nutty  breakfast 
granola and a nice sweet/salty trail snack all in one.  Very  tasty and stays fresh 
in containers like empty Crystal Light tubes.  Here  is my current recipe:
1.  Wild Oats vanilla/almond granola (50% of  mixture)
2.  Salted Virginia peanuts
3.  Salted  cashew pieces
4.  Salted almonds
5.  Add dried  fruits like blueberries and cranberries as desired.
I have always found the  chips or nut based GORP recipes to be wanting.  This 
recipe is very tasty  and satisfying.  Plus, it has lots of good things for 
you on the  trail.  Experiment with the ingredients for your particular  taste.

Cheers, Switchback
