What is GORP exactly? Some people say it stands for “good old raisins and peanuts,” and some say it's just a funny word for a combination of crunchy, salty, chewy and sweet things. GORP can include a huge range of flavors and textures, as long as the sweet and salty are kept in balance. Combine your favorite dried fruits and nuts, and then add crunchy ingredients like toasted corn, unsweetened cereal, and pretzels. Make these in quantity to keep stashed in your lunchbox and backpack.
