I actually like Tang...especially with a little vodka!:D

I do a lot of backpacking in the off season and use Heed by Hammer nutrition. It is a powder comes in a couple of flavors. Kinda takes like flavored water. I mix it in my Camel back. Does the job.

I thought that emergen-c tasted horrible. I would not want to be drinking that on a backpacking trip.. I do like the crystal lite packets, if nothing else, it gives the water some flavor.

Doe Nob- Where do you get the starbucks instant coffee? I've looked around a few local stores, and cannot find it.

I've found mine at Starbucks in the past. They sell them there in my neck of the woods at least. Moca, French Roast and a few different other blends. +1 for me on them. A bit high in cost though but I like a cup of coffee in the morning so it was worth it for me.

I get mine at Costco or Starbucks and have found it in the grocery store too. At Costco (of course) you have to buy a large pack of it but I love to have a cup in the a.m. and I also love to have a cup around noon when I take a break. Trust me, there is little better than being at 8k feet, cold to the bone, and being able to have a hot cup of coffee that (event though it is instant) can pass for decent coffee.

They have several options of it at the grocery store by my house.

I ended up finding some at the local grocery store, kinda pricey for coffee, but I have a slight addiction to good coffee, so it's worth it.

I didn't think the Wilderness Athlete stuff tasted to bad. It was plenty strong the way they said to mix it so I put it in about 1/3 more water than they called for. Tasted fine to me and did seem to have some energy boost to it. I plan to take it on my antelope hunt next month.

Has anyone used the gatorade powder or something similiar?

Thanks

I missed this thread!

CYTOMAX! The stuff is awesome. Has a good amount of carbs and lots of electrolites. I use it while on 100+ mile bike rides, and I'll definitely be using while backpack hunting this year. I like that it provides energy through carbs rather than sugar and caffeine (although I LOVE caffeine). Tastes really good too.
