Gear Log: Food

here One of my favorite aspects of outdoor photography is that it gets me away from the computer, outside and away from people.

https://purestpotential.com/jkijumeu That last bit sounds bad, but is admittedly true. Sometimes you just need to get away.

(Photo credit goes the the guys over at Dry Fly Media.) Zatarains cooked over a JetBoil can make any day a bit better – when you are basing out of a car. But who wants to haul all that around when you’re on foot?

At an adventure race last weekend I got my hands on some samples of a bar I hadn’t yet tried – Raw*Revolution. Organic, live food bars with sprouted flax seeds, the bars come in flavors like Chocolate Coconut (my fav), Spirulina and Cashew, and Cashew and Agave Necter. They taste amazing – like real, whole food instead of a candy bar – and give me a great boost during the long, hot days here in Austin.
