I hate raisins! But I love some trail mixes as long as they don't have raisins in them. How hard is that to find?
A buddy at work said to me, "you're one of those military types, you'll probably like this". His friends started a company called Nutty Idea (http://www.nuttyidea.net/index.php/) where you can create your own trail mix. He said he gets a lot of business from the troops overseas.
I love to snack as I hike and I think this will be a good change from the usual.

EDIT: Made my first order
"The UK"
Bananachips (2oz)
Papaya Tidbits (2oz.)
Sunflower Seed (2oz.)
Sesame Stick (2oz.)
Cashew (2oz.)
Pumpkin Seed (2oz.)
Honey Oat Clusters (2oz.)
M&M's (2oz.)
Looks like a cool concept.
I always hated the premixed store bought mixes. They're way too expensive for the little you get and you don't get to control what's in them.
I noticed recently that our local grocery store chain has a natural food section. In that section there are a bunch of bins full of dried fruits, nuts, seeds, miscellaneous candies, granola, etc.
The prices are pretty good and I get to mix and match the ingredients to what I'm in the mood for.
Also, SAMS CLUB has a pretty decent mix - but you wouldn't like it because there are raisins in there.
Just put in my first order
Raisins 2oz
Banana Chips 2oz
Walnut 2oz
Cashew 2oz
M&Ms 4oz
Macadamia Nuts 2oz
Cherries 2oz
I'm gonna have to make a little modification when it gets here. Any good power mix requires some chocolate covered espresso beans. Great find Stonewall!
created mine:
"NESA NUT"
2 oz raisin - just for you stonewall
2oz cashew
2oz Almond
4oz Macadamia nut
6oz M&Ms
next idea
"Stonewall bash" lots of raisins ;D
wonder if I could do a bulk order of different flavors?
I was looking and you can buy most of them individually as 1 pound.
Can I get a trail mix with donuts in it for mission base duties? >:D >:D >:D ;D
Papaya Tidbits (2 oz)
Cashew (4 oz)
M&M's (2 oz)
Pistachio (4 oz)
Hazelnut / Filbert (2 oz)
Macadamia Nut (2 oz)

Just signed on to post the same thing...I know this is something very simple, but I love it.
Since I'm not hiking trails and hugging trees these days, I figured the perfect use for my mix.
I get home from work around 16:45 every day and by 17:00 I'm on my way to the gym. Sometimes I grab a quick snack, but everything is either too much or too little. A handful or two of my mix is PERFECT.
My son loves my mix too. I think I'll change it around and double up on bananachips and honey oat clusters. Seems to be a lot of seeds too, so maybe I'll get rid of the sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
Good stuff. Glad I found it.
I've made my order, and man, it was almost perfect. a tweek and I'll be good to go.
