Peanut Butter

[Michael]

Peanut butter is really calorie dense. It's got sugar, protein, and fat. So, while it's lacking in nutritional balance, it's really not bad as an emergency food.

Even a smallish jar of the stuff has enough calories to keep you going for a day, or barely fed for two. Larger jars have even more. It wouldn't be a shiny happy food to eat exclusively, and you wouldn't feel terribly satisfied, but you'd be fed.

Also, as mentioned above, it's great bait for dead falls. You barely even need to use any to attract a wee little rodent into your trap; less can actually be more, because then the little dudes need to really work on the trigger, rather than possibly becoming satisfied with a glob hanging off.

I love nut butters. I have tried the walnut butter and hazelnut butter and I love them. As too peanut butter, I eat it all of the time. It's great when you're having a low blood sugar episode. I've eaten enough peanut butter for that reason alone that I could fill a bathtub with it.
