Green tea and sushi.

[hutash]

Italian sub sandwich. Leave off the oil and vinegar and just carry a small packet to add at lunch...much cleaner. While I apprciate the euro style lunch, this has all that with out the hassle of cutting it up. Plus I add lots of pepperocinis. Might as well get some fiber.

On cold tours add a thermos of hot sweet tea. Hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps is not a wrong thin to bring.

My head is in this space too; there’s got to be an efficiency to it. Bringing a fancy spread with lots of parts is too clunky/messy.


Lots of good ideas in this thread

Can't go wrong with euro style hunk of dried meat, block of cheese, half a baguette, and some fresh fruit. Half a bota bag of wine and a Swiss army knife for extra credit.

FIFY (That's exactly the lunch I was going to suggest, minus the wine as I can't stay upright on skis with any alcohol in my system.)

You might be surprised to find out that you can pre-cut the meat and cheese and bread, but that is pretty uncivilized.

Hell, I’m really going to blow your minds, you can even buy meats and cheeses pre-cut.
Who knew?

But then you don't get the joy of using your Opinel Garden Knife out in the field for slicing chucks of said meats, cheeses, apples, etc... no substitute for the hand curated custom cuts, really. It's about the experience or you'd be waiting in line to ride a chairlift.

I prefer to field dress an elk, and make backstrap tartare.

[hutash]

Pine trees...did you know many parts are edible?

Or, you can just take Grape Nuts.

When I first embarked upon these winter pursuits, one day I climbed to a saddle with @Ernest_Hemingway. We paused to rip skins and restore our energies. I produced my typical backpacker's lunch of vac-packed string cheese, salami, and a modest California cabernet in a plastic flask. Ernest kindly, but firmly, pointed out that one tours in colder weather than a summer trip, and it is possible to bring a hearty lunch that eschews the pre-packaging and preservatives. He was carrying a good chunk of Manchego, morcilla (Spanish blood sausage, it freaks out the Amis but is really quite tasty), and a wine skin of Rioja. He didn't have to point out that a wine skin is infinitely preferable to a barbarous wine Nalgene.

When in France or Schweiz and in need of a treat, paté and a cheese such as Morbier or Raclette (too soft for summer, but in winter, just smelly enough to attract an avalanche dog without rendering one's backpack permanently stunk out for bear country) can be paired with a nice Sauternes. As long as one remembers that a gentleman does not pontificate about wine on the skin-track, for even the humblest wine is superior to no wine at all in cases of emergency.

I learned much during my apprenticeship. The value of a good mentor in this business cannot be over-stated. And should you ever visit Granada, may I recommend trying a tortilla de morcilla, it does wonders for a hangover.

I learned a lot about women from calls to slap the bag.

[sista]

I suggest you to take green tea and the sandwiches.A pack of cold drinks if there is too much hot.

Pork rinds and beer

As a kid it always baffled me why a soldier in the Swiss Army would need a corkscrew. I deduced that they must have some life-sustaining substance like emergency water rations in big corked bottles. It still didn't add up, because in an emergency couldn't you just push the cork into the bottle? I eventually became distracted by Rambo-style survival knifes that could be used to murder your adversaries, saw down a small tree, and hold a pack of waterproof matches, now that's some straight up military grade utility.

Jump forward 15 years and I'm sitting on a pickanick table on the sunny south shoulder of Mont Fort. My date breaks out a delicious hunk of dried beef, a block of gruyere, an apple, and rips off a piece of the baguette as she's obviously ravished. She looks at me and her eyes are screaming the gringo forgot his knife. Luckily I have my BC gear in the pack as I had no idea what the day was going to turn into, and yes, there's a multi-tool with a knife. With a big smile I grab my leatherman and start dicing up the apple. She looks pleased, different but useful. Just then a frenchie swoops in with a bottle of Fendant and his cheesie (pun intended) swiss army knife. The wheels start turning... these fuckers sit inside those ridiculous bomb shelters and get drunk on white wine while whiddling away at a chunk of cheese for two weeks a year! Perhaps they were in front of their time? War these days looks a lot more like Swiss detente than Rambo. I think with a little training I could fly a drone while sipping on a nice California Cab.

BTW, did I leave chocolate out of my original post? Fucking gringos.

[MMMSKI]

just keep it simple PBJ

Strong work with the Ernest post, but I miss Papa himself.

As for pushing in the cork, sure it works in a pinch, but it's like using a baggie for a condom, functional, but not satisfying.

[BCMtnHound]

Put me down for the dried desert fruit, prepared meat, cheese and filled bota bag group. If the sled is a part of the tour, then the hotbox strapped to the can is a real bonus with re-heated fried chicken, pizza, or sausage. A thermos of hot green tea and honey is also always in the pack.

[Aclark]

Chocolate!!!

[Sutter]

Croque Monsieur or GTFO.

[Ed el Loco]

Requires a quick boil stove. For cocktails I like the snow pour over margarita.

[Name Redacted]

Leftover Pizza w/ lots of sausage, mushrooms, olives, and congealed pizza grease.

Alternatively, I'll make a dry sandwich with sourdough, cheddar, and turkey. Bring mayo packet on the side.

[glademaster]

Whatever it is, it needs to be something quick and easy enough to eat standing up. Sitting down to lunch mid-tour is a great way for lunch to mark the end of the tour. Cold, stiff, and with a belly full of motivation-robbing calories is no way to start an afternoon.

Also, booze and herb wait until we're back home for the day.
