Good fishing trip snacks need to survive a cooler-free morning, fit in a tackle bag and taste great when you finally sit down. Love's Jerky Co. makes thin, crispy beef jerky we call meat chips, handmade from a family recipe passed down from our founder's dad, Leroy. Pick a flavor, build a box and pack it for the trail, the campsite or the boat.

Why Love's Jerky Makes Great Fishing Trip Snacks for Hiking, Camping and the Outdoors

Outdoor days are unpredictable. You might be on the water at sunrise, hiking to a new spot by noon and back at camp after dark. Jerky is dry, compact and ready whenever hunger shows up, with no cooking and no cleanup.

Our beef is thin-sliced and dried until crisp like a chip, so it breaks apart easily and does not take a full jaw workout to finish. It is handmade and made fresh weekly, and a bag keeps for about 6 months from the made date, so you can stock up before a long season.

Real beef, simple ingredients. Beef is not marinated, sodium is lower than many brands, and several flavors have just two or three ingredients. Toss a bag in your pack, jacket pocket or tackle box and go.

Packing Tips for Fishing Trip Snacks on Hiking, Camping and Outdoor Days

A little planning keeps your snacks tasty and your pack organized.

  • Split a 5oz bag into zip-top bags for each day so one open bag does not go stale in your gear.
  • Keep jerky in a hip pocket or tackle box tray so you can snack without stopping.
  • Pack a mix of heat levels, such as Real Salt for everyone and Red Chili Powder for the brave.
  • Seal bags tightly after opening. Crispy jerky is best eaten soon after the bag is open.
  • Pack out every wrapper. Leave the shoreline and trail clean.

5oz vs 1.5oz Fishing Trip Snacks and the Sample Pack: Which to Buy

The 1.5oz bag is a single-outing snack that slips into a pocket. The 5oz bag costs about 25% less per ounce, which makes it the better value for a weekend camping trip or a group.

Not sure what you like? The Sample Pack gives you 6 flavors for $50 in six 1.5oz bags, with free shipping. It is an easy way to find your favorite before committing to larger bags. Free US shipping also applies to orders over $66.

Why Thin and Crispy Beats Thick, Chewy Jerky on the Trail

Thick, leathery jerky can leave your jaw tired halfway up a climb. Ours is thin-sliced and dried until crisp, so it snaps and melts into flavor quickly. That makes it easy to eat between casts or at a trailhead.

Every cow is different, so some batches run a little chewier. The flavor stays the same from batch to batch.

Fishing Trip Snacks for the Trail, Camp and Water FAQ

What are the best fishing trip snacks from Love's Jerky Co.?

It depends on your heat preference. Real Salt and Salt and Pepper are no-heat crowd pleasers, Hatch Green Chile is mild to medium, and Red Chili Powder is medium. Habanero Teriyaki is very hot. The Sample Pack lets you try six flavors.

How long do fishing trip snacks like jerky last in my pack?

Our jerky keeps for about 6 months from the made date, so it works for a weekend or a whole season of trips. Once a bag is open, reseal it tightly and eat it soon, since crispy jerky is best fresh.

Is the jerky really crispy, or is it chewy?

It is thin-sliced and dried until crisp like a chip. Every cow is different, so some batches are a little chewier, but the flavor stays the same. It is a lighter bite than thick, leathery jerky.

Which size should I buy for a camping or fishing weekend?

The 1.5oz bag suits a single outing or pocket snack. The 5oz bag costs about 25% less per ounce, so it is the better value for a group or multi-day trip. The Sample Pack gives you six 1.5oz flavors.
