> Hi, all:
>
> On the world's wettest camping trip a couple of weeks ago we tried out a
> 'candy bar' called a Power Bar. We'd made a carry of gear from the sand
> beach to the rocks (where the boat could get in with enough water to pick
> us up)-an hour's carry wading through the rising tide before we were cut
> off from our pick-up point. Then we had a 3 hour wait for the boat.
> Huddled under a tarp on the rocks on the edge of the ocean in the steady
> downpour. Even the best raingear in the group had leaked and besides
> everyone had sweated rushing stuff out over the slippery rocks.
>
> We went through the final hot chocolate, trail mix, etc. and still people
> grew cold sitting there- and out from under the tarp the wind whistled and
> the rain drove horizontally into your bones-there was no point in doing
> callasthenics out there! Divided up 4 bars among 8 of us and they worked!
> Definately helped keep our on- the- edge- of- hyothermia crew warm. The
> strawberry one tasted liked oily fake fruit, chocolate was o.k., and banana
> was quite good, don't remember the other-yes, we passed our littles nibbles
> around for communal tasting-the heck with hygene when you are freezing and
> trying to entertain yourselves!
>
> So now I carry one of those as well as the bolt cutters, duct tape, etc. in
> cantle bag on rides. Amazing-I would have said it was all hype, but it
> isn't.

The only problem I find with Power bars, is that they just about pull your
teeth when you eat them.
