Here are a few hints I haven't seen posted:

A propane heater can be a godsend!  I bought one after spending two 
seasons freezing my butt off.

As a low rent district camper, I have also found that if I warm up a 
fleece blanket (in front of above mentined heater) wrap it around 
myself, then crawl into my bag, I don't spend half the night trying to 
warm up my sleeping bag. ('Course it helps to have a husband willing to 
sleep in the bag with me *grin*)

And about snacks.... for those of you with a bread machine, or time to 
bake, there are some swesome fruit/nut/whole grain breads to be made.  
I make one with dried apricots and hazelnuts that is really good.  The 
horses like it, AND it makes a good packing material for your apples. 
It's especially good with sliced cheese, or cream cheese.

Personally, I'll eat about anything if I'm hungry..... once, a riding 
buddy and I were talking about the grossest things we ever ate while 
out and about.  I told him I once "drank" yogurt which had sat in the 
back of my pickup all day when I got lost on the trail, doing 23 miles 
instead of 9 on a training ride.

He said he had once shared several hotdogs with a friend which had been 
in the toolbox of his Baja Bug during a roadrace in Southern 
California.  They had broken down, and ended up stranded for an entire 
day.

Needless to say, I conceded he'd won that little discussion! Blech!
