- Salami and chorizo both last well and don’t even need to be cooked, also vac packed prosciutto
- cheese kept in its vacuum pack is also good for a few days - BabyBell and hard cheeses such as Parmesan last well
- quick rice mixed with tuna, long life cream and pre-cut celery and carrot in vacuum sealed bags (stays fresh and then can be cooked at camp site - not pre-cooked)
- vac packed steak should last 3-4 days hiking winter <14 degrees, perhaps 1 day longer if it was frozen.
- can freeze 2L bladder of water and keep perishables next to it to make them last longer, although the water is no longer frozen in 12hrs
