Hey everyone! Thanks for so many responses! I totally agree, now that I look back on some of my trips, Clif bars will get old! I’ll take up some of the suggestions that were posted for sure!

Awesome! I appreciate the recommendations and I’ll take a look into the Mt House meals for sure then! I also love the idea of a dessert as well! Thank you for your help! So pumped to get everything together!
