    My dad used to make GORP and it was soo good. It was peanuts, cashews, M&M's, pretzels, and seasame sticks. I think there might have been more things in there, but I forget. Anyway, it was delicious! But now I make my own thats lower-calorie. It has yogurt covered rasins, puffed corn cereal ( the non-sugary kind, organic ), and freeze dried raspberries. Its so good, and I'm going to keep making different mixes with other freeze dried fruits and mixes, etc.

    Normally you would use peanuts, pecans, m&m's, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, you can even throw in dried fruit like apples, grapes, raisins, maybe even some pretzels.

    Granola, cheerios, dried cranberries, charob chips and unsalted peanuts.

    Yummmmm. Sometimes I'll use almonds instead of the peanuts though.

    the trail from my refrigerator to the couch consists of crackers and spinach dip, cashews, raisins, hersheys candy with almonds, oreo ice cream (or strawberry or chocolate mint depending on how far I plan to travel that evening), ruffles chips with onion dip, popcorn with lots of butter, popsicles, werthers candies, cantelope, pie if there's any around, and a subway BMT if I plan ahead.
