[pct-l] SuperSecrets - Nuts

NUTS: Nuts are one thing most people like to eat on the trail.   Consider 
chopped nuts to reduce bulk in your container.  This will greatly  increase your 
carrying power for the same amount of space.  In other words,  bulk out your 
container.  Don't forget the cooking section of the grocery  and the small nut 
packages there.  Many are chopped for cooking.  Do  not get the really small 
chopped sizes like for sprinkling on foods, but the  medium chopped nuts. These 
are a good compromise between compactness and crunch  appeal.  Trader Joe's 
usually has a good selection of chopped nuts too, but  in larger packages, 
which you might not need.  Tip: Trader Joe's has a  peanut called "Blister" nuts 
in a plastic container.  It is an excellent  peanut that is specially roasted 
and has outstanding crunch appeal.  It  does not come chopped, so you would 
have to chopped them up for the trail.   Highly recommended.
