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.:)
