Dried fruit in your pants pocket?? So you like hot, mushy, sweaty dried fruit? Hmmm… And certainly you aren’t putting the good chewy granola bars in there? Or even the good crunchy ones with peanut butter or chocolate chips? I could grant you the plain crunchy ones... … but one does not simply put GORP into one’s pocket!![](https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/cZyza0Kxq_ejJqHm9QrT_A--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTM2MA--/https://media-mbst-pub-ue1.s3.amazonaws.com/creatr-uploaded-images/2020-06/f1fdd6b0-a3ee-11ea-9def-6ffa1e08d1d5)

How do you guys get to your snacks without taking your backpack off?? My pack has pretty generous hip-belt pockets on both sides. Plenty of room for snacks.

Spacious, airy. And those snacks are wrapped up, to avoid the Peanuts Pigpen syndrome. They might not fit in your skin-tight leggings...

Pants pockets and hip belt pockets are for extra mags and smoke grenades. How are you guys fending off mountain lions, bears, and Bigfeet without those? Is your plan to bribe them with tactical snacks?
…and I prefer to call my tights “Vigilante Hero Pants”. Worked for Robin Hood…

I figured it was a permit thing, but it also sounded like he had gotten pretty far and may have been able evade the rangers if he knew had a some guts and experience.
Thanks to jazzmom, Rebecca, and others I haven't had to sneak around any rangers.
