We also bring hard salami and durable cheese, like an extra sharp cheddar. Gives you good dense calories. Trail Mix, mixed nuts, etc. too. |

Of course there will be fish, will bring some jerky as well and was thinking maybe some instant potato sides. Any other suggestions? |

Below is our menu plan for our 8 day trip. It may change if I have time to dehydrate our own stuff, but mostly I make due with grocery store dry ingredients. My son likes lots of goodies available for pancakes and oatmeal breakfast so I pack those in little snack size Ziplocs. I group all ingredients for one meal together in a labeled freezer Ziploc. We don't do any cook in the bag type meals. All are cooked using a pot or pan. Here is our menu plan |

There should be lots of choices for dehydrated sides on your local grocery store shelves. Finding inexpensive lightweight proteins are a little more challenging. Its probably too late for you to dehydrate your own ground meat “gravel”. Tuna, spam singles, and sometimes chicken can be found in foil packs. Other than that, I have used textured vegetable protein. |

Some of us like to separate our meals packing them so each meal is in one bag, others work more of a pantry style. If others are going with you make sure you get their input on the menu, nothing grouchier than a grumbling stomach. Take enough, but there are more reports of taking too much than running out. Our appetites change when our routines change. Ultimately less good food is better than more bad food, and usually weighs less, too. |
