Another raisin eater. They'll carry you through anything.>>>> Hi Dave, Yep been eating and carrying them in camera bags, photo vests for years. They're the greatest survival food you can have. Hell they're the only thing you can keep in a camera bag for three months without them trying to escape! And still taste great! I buy in bulk, put them in a freezer bag and they have been my only food for a couple of days in the past. The "couple of days" weren't planned, but we were damn lucky I had "planned raisins!" The photographers whom I've worked with at the Olympics over the years always said, "Well we know Ted will have two things. Leicas and raisins!" It's a hell of an international image, passing bags of raisins along the photog line waiting for the athletes to get their act ready.:) ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
