"Real" food to prep for Alaska

[cfdjay]

Spending Sept in Alaska and looking at possible 20+ days in the field. Bound by weight restrictions just looking to get ideas for "real" food to prep/pack/vacuum seal that is weight efficient and keeps for awhile to supplement the Peak Refuels. Was thinking trail bologna, vacuum packed cheese, hard salami, tortilla wraps..... what else?

I always like some jerky along on my hunts, and possibly some dried fruits and nuts. Haven't tried them myself but heard honey stingers are good

I used my dehydrator to make a "brittle" of mashed sweet potatoes and shaved coconut, sweetened with maple syrup. Also dehydrated a bunch of apples and sweet potato slices.

Instant mashed potatoes hits right with fresh caught fish, ptarmigan or moose tenderloin

Never thought of that. Thanks man.

Instant potatoes, instant stuffing, rice, gravy mix, butter, pasta, flaked parm cheese, chicken bullion to cook pasta in, dehydrated peas, dried apricots, crasins, ramen noodles, cup o soup (new cup every day), hot chocolate mix, oatmeal, angel food cake, banana bread, precooked bacon bits.

Calories per ounce for pasta, grains, anything with high fat content, or anything mostly sugar are pretty close.

Peanut butter for sure, pepperoni, nutella, tortillas, honey, tuna fish. Good old PB&J really hits the spot at times.
