Favorite food to eat in a treestand?

[Rich LaBombard]

Hi Gang:
Any secret recipes for food that you just HAVE to have in a treestand, if you are staying for the day?
Looking for tips and ideas.
(I love jerky, but it has a strong smell, and of course M&M's are great on a cold day)

hard candy, small candy bars, apple, bud light, pop tart.

I need carbs so it is PB&J sandwiches, snickers bars, and homemade oatmeal raisen cookies for lunch.

I've got a great recipe for fruitcake...I know...I know ...fruitcake, but this is more like a nut bread with some fruit.  No way am I a fan of the traditional fruitcake, but this stuff is flat out tasty and filling.  Its chock full of walnuts, pecans, dates, raisins and marischino (sp?) cherries.  I have yet to come across a person who dislikes it.

Starkman, sounds good to me.  Would you be willing to share the recipe?

Anything that won't instantly cause a gastrocolic reflex resulting in my finding a nearby bush to both relieve the problem and spook would-be game.  

I've found that sweets, chocolate, and coffee are the worst, and a good ham sandwhich, water and an apple gets me by on my dark-to-darks.

I can't take credit for the recipe...as I got it from my mother in-law, but it is tasty.

The recipe is as follows:

Step 1
1 1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup pitted chopped dates
1 cup maraschino cherries
1/2 cup seedless raisins
 
Step 2
3/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
 
Step 3
3 eggs
1 tbl vanilla extract
 
Put first 5 ingredients in bowl.  Sift next 4 ingredients over mixture.  Beat eggs until light.  Add 1 tbl vanilla.  Pour over fruit-nut mixture and mix well.  Line a greased 9x5x3 loaf pan and line with wax paper.  Turn mixture into pan and press in firmly.  Bake in slow oven (300-1 hour 35 min, you may want to start checking at about 1 hour and 15 minutes as not to overcook).  Cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes, then loosen around edges and turn out on rack.  Remove paper and cool completely, or if you like it more moist, place in fridge before cooling completely.  Wrap in several layers of saran wrap and store in refrigerator.  Will keep up to 3 months.
Enjoy,
Bob

I bring apples and maybe some raisins and a juice box or two for most of my sits, but if I am hunting all day I will bring a sandwhich and some chips among other things. I always have apple flavored gum as well, just a thing I started when I was 20 and do not leave without it.(22 years now). Shawn
