Thanks for the wonderful suggestion, I am sending off my request as we speak. This is what I have been looking for and didn't even know it. A tailor made energy pack. All the things I can eat and enjoy and I don't have to pick and choose. I can easily eat Macadamian nuts all day only they don't last that long and I so I don't take them. This is the perfect solution, a few hidden in the midst to suprise me during the hike. This is one of the best posts you have done answering a question I didn't even know I had. And the price is right too. Thanks David for another ray of hope

I think the concept of customizing trail mix to fitone's dietary needs is sound, but at $1 per ounce, this product isn't a solution for the mainstream.  This is an excellent example of why our economy is in trouble, and people are carrying obscene levels of debt.  "Covenience" foods are a tax on laziness.

There isn't any mix of foods I can think of that I'd put in a trail mix that costs anything close to $16/lb!  I can get macadamias, unsalted cashews, walnuts, pecans, low sodium jerky and many, many other low carb foods, the most expensive of which are less than half that cost.  Zip lock snack bags cost 0.10 each. Once packaged, frozen snack packs can be kept fresh indefinitely.  My estimate of the cost is $3/lb including the market vale of my labor if I put up 5 lb- enough to last for months.

Going shopping for each of the ingredients is bad shopping. It combines the worst characteristics of shopping without a list, not taking advantage of sales and impulse purchasing.  Overall diabetic food consumption should be planned in advance.  Walking down an extra aisle or placing an order by internet once a year doesn't take a significant amount of time.  If you know what ingredients you need, and where they can be found, they should be bought as part of your normal shopping routine over time.  It's efficient, saves time, money and fuel.

And I can control the quality of each components in each of my trail mixes.
