Not normally. I carry a couple waters... the real small ones. If it's an all day hunt, which is rare, I'll carry a couple Reese Cups, a couple power bars, a couple Granolla bars and maybe a couple apples. And yes, I usually don't eat it all. About a week ago I was cleaning and deordorizing my fanny pack. There were still candy bars in there from last fall. NO... I didn't eat them.
