      • smoked fish in vacuum sealed bag should last a few days
      • 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
      • carry soft veges like tomatoes or mushrooms in your cooking pot
