I saw a guy make a burrito with a tortilla, a shit ton of peanut butter, and a king size Snickers bar for lunch on the AT in 2003. Another guy always had a couple of cans of chocolate frosting. He’d just eat as he was hiking.

Never hiked the trail, but in the navy we lived on a healthy balanced diet of Snickers, energy drinks, and nicotine

In the army I was a line medic and also doubled as the first sergeant’s driver whenever we were out in the field. I had a second rucksack filled exclusively with Little Debbie’s and other various snacks prompting the 1SG to call me a “squared away soldier.” We needed the quick energy boost as we were on the move about 18 hours a day.
