When you're sick of everything else, try equal parts honey, peanut butter
and nonfat milk powder. Mix it together and put it in a refillable
squeeze tube.

There is a recipe for Logan Bread in the popular book on climbing Denali.
Forgot the name of the book, but I think Glenn Randall wrote it.

Oh boy, you are going to owe me big time for this one. Back in high
school we used to bake up pounds of this stuff for long backpacking
trips. (that was quite a few years ago.) So, I called my old packing
partner and he went right to the recipe.
From the NY Times Natural Foods Cookbook:
4 cups water
4 lbs whole wheat flour
1.5 lbs raw sugar or brown sugar
12 oz non-fat dry milk powder
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons salt
2 cups honey
1 cup molasses
1 1/4 cups oil
1 cup sesame seeds
1 1/2 cups wheat germ
Pre-heat oven to 300; greased pan; bake 1 hour.
However, we both remember some additons - mainly dried fruit (dates,
raisins,...).
I hope this is the same stuff you tried. I remember it as VERY dense
with a strong molasses taste.
good luck and happy flatulence,
Mort

There is a recipie for Logan Bread in an outdoor cookbook titled
"Gorp, Glop and Glue Stew". It's pretty simple stuff and you can
modify the recipie for your own taste and then make it by the ton
for 1/3 the price of Power Bars.
This cookbook also includes other delicacies like varmit stew, many of
which sound inedible. I do not believe the author has actually
taste tested them all. ;-)

From Willie Hunt wil...@cs.indiana.edu:
Logan bread.
12 egg whites (egg separator is helpful)
3 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup wheat bran or oat bran (whole wheat flour needs more fiber
1 cup raisins
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup powered milk
1/2 cup honey
3/8 cup molasses
1/4 cup corn syrup (pure maple syrup is better but $$$)
Mix with blender, pour into 2 large buttered pan or glass, bake in
oven at 275 for 1 to 1.5 hours (just test it till probe is clean), and
enjoy. Longer baking will dry it out more and thus reduces weight,
makes it last longer, but makes it less soft.

There is also a recipe for same in Herb and Jan Conn's book _The Jewel Cave
Adventure_. I tried the recipe many years ago and the bread was very good.
This book is still available from many cave suppliers including Bob and Bob
and the NSS bookstore.
