Resilient Nutrition. Excellent

I used RN's energy bars on cycle rides; and latterly, energy bars, nut pouch and meal bars whilst on a 13 hour hike. I was primarily getting familiar with them for longer trips. I will be reliant on them over a 100km weekend hike very soon. I like them. Dense calories and nutrients, and nice variety provided by the range I was carrying. In order to improve them, from my perspective, I have some minor suggestions: 1. It would be great if the nut pouch was much bigger. It is delicious but in its current form it is consumed so fast, why bother with a resealable pouch? Make it 4 times the size and it would be worth it and less waste over a trip. 2. It is a shame the wapping is plastic but, unfortunately, it is probably the best solution for longevity. Could the wrappers be designed to tear open but not tear apart? i.e. in current form, when opening, the corner often detaches and when wearing gloves, it is easy for these bits to get dropped. Overall, I liked the RN range and look forward to using it in more demanding conditions. Update one week later..... Have just used RN for a 40 hour hike from Carlisle to Newcastle along Hadrian's Wall, approx 112km. It is good nutrition. I stand by what I previously said but most importantly, the rations remained interesting and enjoyable, and they kept me moving.
