Hi, this is Faceplant, faithful companion to Munchmix chiming in.

Since before we began hiking together I have been on a relentless search for a trail bar that actually tastes good. Not just tolerable...but GOOD. It took me awhile but I figured out the one disgusting flavor in common to every bar I disliked was "date paste."

Earlier this year I "discovered" a great trail bar that has NO date paste and has solid pronounceable nutritious and yummy ingredients.

I was so thrilled to make the discovery I wrote the company and got a REALLY NICE personal email back from them. They shared a tip that if you want to try these out, sign up for their newsletter at katesrealfood.com and you'll get 20% off your first order--I started out with their mixed box which gives you two of every flavor. Also, they're sending me some bars to offer as Trail Magic.... I'll be at Windigo Pass on on July 11 to set Munchmix up with a resupply and offer a little trail magic.

I'm hoping they'll share a coupon code to pass along... if they do I'll update here as well as sharing it on the Must Hike Facebook page.
