What is your favorite Pogey Bait for day to day munching?

For me a combo of trail mix and or jerky has always been a favorite of mine. But I have a weakness for Jalapeno flavored chips and Chex Mix. No one thing ever did it for me. But the one thing I didn't care for but I saw a lot of people munching on was pork rinds.

I picked other, I always wanted to maximize space so Id load up things that could be compressed. Packets of Tuna/chicken salad were my go to snack. Peanut Butter packets from the chow hall as well. Jerky was always good too though.

I picked other, I was a crackers and smoked oysters/tuna spread/cheese kind of guy.

Tortilla chips (especially with salsa) is my fitness kryptonite. I can walk past the donuts and candy all day long, but tortilla chips, game over. I'll eat them all.

When I was Infantry, it was jerky with pretzels or salted sunflower kernels (skipped the shelled kind, as I hated spitting out shells just to get to the kernels.) and powered Gatorade for my little treks into the desert.

When I went into the Reserves and we took poggie bait on cross-country drives, whatever gas station fare was available along the way was fair game until we closed in on our final objective; and knowing we'd be spending a week or two at some far off post, with limited or no ability to hit up a shoppette or gas station, I'd load up on jerky (always), and perhaps opt for more comfort snacks and some candy. Don't get me wrong, I loved our cooks and all, but there's only so much they could do with what they work with!
