anyone else remember when the gourmet meal during and post caving was 
an open unheated can of something, often glugged down without benefit 
of the unnecessary weight of a spoon?  campbells soup was popular as 
well as beanie weanies and god knows whatever other delights.

There is a well-known caver, still active in the Austin area, whose main 
choice of food on weekend caving trips in the early 70s consisted 
predominantly of Vienna Sausage. And, not just any Vienna Sausage but 
_*IMITATION*_ Vienna Sausage. I was never sure of exactly what went into 
the real thing (since it already was a stumpy hotdog), so I cannot 
fathom what was in the stuff he ate. However, it had the appearance of 
medical waste when the can was opened. Might explain some things today.

[Texascavers] food for caving

2009-09-05 Thread David
Back in the good ole days, we didn't have a lot of food to choose from
compared to
the mega-stores we have now. Does anybody remember a trip to
Piggly Wiggly's?

Nowaday, we not only have mega-stores, but we have lots of different
stores that get there
products from all over the world.I guess we can thank
globalization for that ?

Anyways, here is a new product that I recommend you take on your next
road trip to

[Texascavers] Food for caving trips

2014-02-15 Thread David
A really experienced caver should write a really good informative article on
the best foods to take on different kinds of caving trips.

Here is a new pizza that might someday become available:

http://media1.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2014_07/187681/140214-pizza-everlasting-002_30a22e709f7fb97fb302cf6c77260614.nbcnews-ux-640-440.jpg

Ref.

http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/innovation/military-scientists-create-pizza-lasts-three-years-n30686

Muddy hands make it difficult to eat sandwiches.   I think most cavers end up
eating a little mud.I know one time just east of Slaughter Canyon,
we had to eat our
food ( at the picnic grounds ) during a sandstorm, and the gritty sand
could not be kept out of the food.

Beef jerky seems like a good idea, but I think my stomach has a hard time
digesting it.

On a related note,

Cavers should try to take care of their BM, shortly before entering
the cave.   Right ?
Or is that just a speleo-myth ?

In the early days, we used to take cans and cans of Vienna Sausages or Deviled 
Ham for cave food. When Mike McConnell and I used to take first-timers to 
Mexico over Xmas, we finally started taking the canned chickens and sometimes 
got veggies in the market for camp food. Took canned hams to the people who 
lived in the area where we went caving and they looked after our rigs.

[Texascavers] Food for road-trips

2017-07-28 Thread David via Texascavers
The new Strawberry-Mango Chicken Salad at Wendy's gets the Official
Locklear Seal of Approval.


Back in 1984, when I started going on road-trips, we were very limited at
fast food stops and there was not time or money to sit down at a
restaurant, plus we were often dressed like vagabonds, especially after a
caving trip.  There was no Taco Cabana, nor Chick-Filet, nor Canes, nor
Carl Juniors, nor anything fancy like Freddy's or Ruby's.There was
Dairy Mart, Dairy King, Dairy Queen, etc. Whataburger was in very limited
places, and many places closed at 9 p.m.   It was like living in repressed
3rd world country by 2017 standards.   ( There is a country song about this
- It was not just a different time, but a different world ).

We would often eat our own snacks.   I would carry crackers and cold
imitation crab salad.  And sardines and tiny cans of Deviled Roast Beef.

I recall one A.S.S. trip to Enchanted Rock in 1987 where 3 of us split a
cold can of refried beans and cold flour tortillas, because our 4th party
was getting his final cord X-Rayed at Fredricksberg Hospital, and we all
got very hungry waiting in the Waiting Room to find out if he was going to
be paralyzed or not.

Years later on other trips,

I was always surprised when I would hook up with San Antonio cavers as they
had a travelling chef accompany them.

I heard a rumor that hard-core cavers in the 60's and 70's were so tough
and hardened, that they could eat roadkill, or dog biscuits to survive.

Mud is GOOD. So is charcoal. Gets rid of the carbide. 

But whatever you do, do not eat beans. Even with hot sauce.

Theoretically, Soylant could become the ideal caving food, especially for 
expedition caving (primary considerations: bulk/nutritional 
density/packability, ease of preparation, & cost). Have not done any analysis 
of the above considerations, but assume it would be favorable, or at least 
competitive (price should drop after production ramps up). Not crazy about  
some of the latest tweaks to the formulation though. First production run has 
been delayed until Mar/Apr time frame. Anyone signed up to receive part of the 
first shipment (be a Guinea pig/beta tester)? Of course, serving size/dosage 
would require adjustment for increased physical activity. Would definitely 
recommend an above ground test run (well) beforehand, although some cavers may 
become above ground adherents irrespectively. A side benefit (as David brought 
up) is reduced waste generation (once again, probably best to transition a few 
days ahead of time).
Conventional alternatives are a whole other matter, and in my experience are 
based on (above ground) personal bias.

My bad (spelling). It should have been Soylent.

Since you are handling catering for the ics...can we get box lunches with fried 
chicken for the field trips?

However,

I don't agree with their list of "Spelunker's Favorites."

Note they claim that spelunkers are people that "study caves."
