One of my favorite quick river snacks is a buncha cut up fruit of diff types, kept in the cooler.
I think it helps regulate my blood sugar and replenishes lost electrolytes from the beer. I eat a few pieces and feel like new again...not ot mention it's cold.
That and I have found that a bag of 7 layer dip combos seems to keep making it on the boat recently.
PBR is good, but I go with the Keystone Light. Perfect raft beer IMO: Watery, so when you get hit with a wave you can't tell the difference if it gets water logged, goes down smooth all day, keeps you (relatively) hydrated, and you can drink enough of them that you get a real solid buzz but doesn't pack the punch to mess you up when the float is over. When I'm taking a break from that, you go with a nice refreshing Twisted Tea to mix things up.
A good cheese dip and some crackers is pretty solid, with some summer sausage to go with that.
A couple of thick slices of summer sausage, 4 sea salt triscuits, 2 thick slices of good cheddar cheese and a gala apple. Pre sliced and packaged at breakfast, stored in cooler till someone is hungry.
During the middle of the day I dig a can of mixed nuts - maybe a dash of habenero hot sauce...a green apple if i'm feeling guilty, and course a bunch of cheap ass beer.
Boaters will eat old underwear with salsa. The best snack is one someone else carries and then hands me. I would eat a tin can if someone put salt on it.
cheetos (the crunchy kind) and hummus. My kids came up with hit…surprise. But I have to say it's pretty tasty and hits the spot. That was lunch several times last fall on the MF. We actually had a little salami with it too most of the time. Whatever the kids will eat, we bring.
