      Comments about Bear Valley Pemmican Bar:

      These are great to keep in the car, or your pack. Living in Florida, these do well when they are heated up (from sitting on my front seat in the car), brownie-ish. I keep several with me so that if I am running late at work I can eat one of these and not skip a meal. I would recommend drinking plenty of water with these and ladies, the protein may cause a little stomach bloat / gas!

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Bear Valley Pemmican Bar:

          I love to use these as one of my "base foods" = I eat one a day on the trail as a meal while on the go. The taste is great and they have a long term filling feeling. Just drink at least 8 oz water otherwise they sit heavy in the gut. They taste great. They do expire after a short time for which I only gave 4 stars. Good calorie /weight ratio (1/2 serving per bar?, ya sure).

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Comments about Bear Valley Pemmican Bar:

            I have not yet found this item in the REI stores, only by net ordering. Frequently I will buy food items to try out before purchasing for a trip. This is one of those buys.

            This bar is soft, not too sweet, and goes down easily. I tried the fruit and nut which was ok, and the carob-cocoa, which I liked, and will buy again.

            I often will buy items in quantity, for earthquake preparedness, and future hikes. I bought these in January of '09, and was very disappointed to see that they both would expire 2 months later, in March '09!

            I am now placing an order for a hike I will be on in June, but with the flimsy packaging obviously being the cause of the short storage duration, these will only be bought for immediate use.

            Try them, these are good tasting, I think you'll like them.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

              Comments about Bear Valley Pemmican Bar:

              I've used these food bars for years as a major part of eating right on long distance hikes on the PCT and CDT. For the first two weeks of hiking I would eat two a day, and after two weeks three to four a day. Every time I purchase more than 100 (450 in '05) one of the "Mealpack Ladies" gave me a call to make sure I got my order. I got the sense this is a small company (Albany, CA, next to Berkeley) that hadn't sold out to corporate interests like the other food bar manufacturers.

              The bars are nutritious, tasty, and chewy. Unlike powerbars and their ilk, they actually taste and feel like food.

              I took to many with me on my 05 two months section hike of the PCT and put the bars I didn't eat in the "free food hiker boxes" at resupply points. Most people liked them, but not all...

              Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
