I also read a story a guy wrote about hiking in the Sierra Nevadas using only some pemmican, fresh pine nuts and raisins. The pine nuts are pretty fatty with some carbs, the pemmican helps with the fat and protein, and the raisins give a bit of a carb boost. He took like five pounds of food and it lasted him quite a while because it's quite dense and high in calories.
I'd love to make my own pemmican because the commercial stuff is so expensive, but I suspect it would be even more expensive making it at home when you also consider my time.
BTW, dried, natural (i.e. unsweetened) cranberries are extremely tart. Every dried cranberry you see in the stores is sweetened in some way. Dried blueberries would work better than raisins if they weren't so rediculously expensive.
I'd say nuts, pemmican (fat and protein), and some dried berry or dried fruit without added sugar.
