The other day we received an email from a very lovely customer who wanted to share what activities she fuels with BumbleBar energy. As an avid hiker, Diana (Seattle, WA) appreciates having healthy, whole food, energy packed and portable snacks to sustain her on the trails. Below she describes a day she got through her hike on coffee, water, and a Lushus Lemon BumbleBar.
Diana’s Story
“I like to day hike, and backpack and BumbleBars are my go-to hiking food. I usually have one each day I’m on the trail. Half of it is for my mid-morning snack and the other half is for my afternoon snack. BumbleBars are also my ’emergency’ food. Therefore, I always bring two or three extras, just in case I were to get lost or hurt and couldn’t get out. Truly, I always have BumbleBars in my pack. Nothing gives me the sustained energy I need like BumbleBars. And I have tried a lot of different foods.
True story – I was once hiking in Hells Canyon on the Idaho/Oregon border. I was with a large group, and we were having food issues, let’s just put it at that. We did not have enough food with us. On the last day, I had a cup of coffee and then hit the trail. I made it out on a cup of coffee, water, and a Lushus Lemon BumbleBar. Six miles, one BumbleBar, but I felt good. Only a BumbleBar could do that!
So, my point is that you should be marketing your products to all those crazy hikers out there! And there are more and more people hiking every day. They are always looking for the bar or food that is going to give them the extra boost they need when hiking. And I really believe that it’s the ingredients you put in the bars that give the sustained energy that’s needed for backpacking.”
Thank you for sharing, Diana! We love bringing BumbleBars along when we go hiking, and we’re glad they help you reach the trailhead too. Check out some other BumbleBar fueled hiking stories that wonderful customers have shared with us!
