Each bar is individually wrapped in a sealed flow pack and shipped in a sturdy cardboard box, so it stays intact and mess free in backpacks, hip belts, and jacket pockets during long hikes, bike rides, and climbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I take these on a multi-day camping trip without refrigeration?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely.
