GORP: Good Old Raisins and Peanuts

Jocelyn Campbell reminded me of GORP in another thread.  I ran it through Google: Good Old Raisins and Peauts.

There is no written in stone recipe for this.

In a bucket/bowl/tub/coal sack mix together you choice of
Nuts-cashews, peanuts, pecans, hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, pine nuts, them big giant ones
Dried Fruit-raisins, prunes, berries, cranberries, banana, apricot, apple, pineapple, coconut, shredded fruit leather, that stuff your grandmother puts in those awful cakes at Christmas, whatever is around or strikes your fancy
Candy-M&Ms, chocolate chips, candy bars, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, gumdrops, gummy bears, those little fiery hot cinnamon dots, gourmet jelly beans, busted up hard candy
Seeds-sunflower, roasted pumpkin

Chop up the bigger ingredients as you wish.
Add a sprinkle of spice to make it nice.

Skip the Cheese Puffs.

I found this neglected old post in which the original author was summarizing their search results. It's the kind of thing that people would have an LLM do nowadays. So I decided to try that and see how it differed from the original.

GORP is a great base, but you can make it way more exciting! Here are some tasty additions that work well for trail mix:

Sweet Options
- Dried fruits: cranberries, cherries, apricots, mango, banana chips
- Chocolate: dark chocolate chunks, milk chocolate chips, or M&Ms
- Yogurt-covered raisins for a creamy twist
- Coconut flakes for a tropical vibe

Savory & Crunchy
- Pretzels or pretzel sticks
- Cheese crackers (like Goldfish or Cheez-Its)
- Roasted chickpeas for extra protein
- Seeds: pumpkin seeds (pepitas), sunflower seeds

Nut Variety
- Almonds, cashews, walnuts, pistachios for more texture and flavor
- Honey-roasted or spiced nuts for a sweet-savory kick

Fun Extras
- Granola clusters for crunch
- Wasabi peas for a spicy surprise
- Mini marshmallows if you want a s'mores vibe

Personally, I'm kind of OK just using lightly-salted peanuts and raisins and often take that hiking!

Mine would have pecans, cashews, banana chips, papaya and pineapple.
