Food while driving

Big jar of dry roasted peanuts.

My brother used to murder some Vienna sausages in the road

Beef jerky
Red bulls
Little Debbie snacks
Fried pies

....when driving 1-3k straight...I'm gonna want some food.

Has nothing to do with discipline. If I'm on a trip and can't stop long enough to sit down and eat a meal etc..., I'm eating in the car whether it's a pack of peanut butter crackers or a sandwich or a boudin ball or whatever.

I'll bet you're the kind of guy who walks out to the mailbox and opens your mail and reads it on your way back to the house.

I wait until I'm in the house. Mail ain't gonna change.

I'm not a guy. Mail is on the house at the front door. Very little walking needed. I'm not waiting on an 8 hour car trip to eat something when I don't have time to stop long. Happens sometimes. My car isn't a collector's item. It's a car and it's cleanable. My house isn't a museum. I live in it. I eat in it too.

Spoken by someone who just doesn't get it.

I've seen 38 states...can't say I've ever regretted a road trip.

The road trip is the point...seeing as much as possible of backroads and offroad areas is the point.

I was explaining to the guy above that it has nothing to do with discipline...if I'm 3-4 hours off hwy and a few hours to a campsite in 0 degree weather...we warm up some food and eat while driving.

There's not always time to stop and eat in a restaurant, Zach. Sometimes I get little notice that I have to drive somewhere, so I can't leisurely stop at a restaurant and sometimes I just don't want to do that. I want to get to where I'm going. I'm not going to be hungry to keep a smell or crumbs out of a car.
I don't care whose car smells better than mine. It's my car. No one else has to ride in it if they don't want to, but if they do, they can eat something in it. It's not on the top of my list of important things in life.

I bet that Brookshire's fried catfish you buy for Lucy stinks your car up pretty badly. I'd rather smell the smoked boudin and boudin balls I pick up on the road.

I don't usually bring food and I've never eaten canned food on the road. I usually bring peanut butter wheat crackers or breakfast energy type bar type things. Same stuff I bring when I fly and don't have time between flights to get a meal.

I don't take a lot of long trips in the car like you do. If I do, it's planned and we have planned stops for meals and break the trip up staying in hotels. I hate being in the car longer than 8 hours. That's not fun to me.
