Gear of the Week: Epic Provisions Meat Bars

Our take In a trail food rut? The best way to break out of it might be these meat bars. With flavors like Venison Sea Salt and Pepper, Lamb Currant Mint, Bison Bacon Cranberry, and (our favorite) Chicken Sriracha, they’re more reminiscent of a gourmet meal than gorp. And with up to 13 grams of protein and 130 calories, they’ll give you a power boost and prevent you from bonking. Note: Testers said the texture could be a bit dry, so have some water on hand. 

Trail cred “The heat factor in the Chicken Sriracha bar is perfect,” one tester says. “Enough to make an impression, but not too intense at all.”
