Food Supply for Hunting in remote areas accessible by Bushplane only.

You guys can't take Grandma's cooking on hunting trips and you definately can't take Grandma to bake huckleberry pies.
 
Did you mean "Bündnerfleisch" ? That's some good stuff right there...

Yes, fat fingers on a cellphone.

They used to sell vac seal bags with a semi porous membrane so you could make bresaola/bunderfleisch/ bresi in a fridge. I've also done it in wine fridges and the old fashioned way.

I'm also a big fan of making charcuterie from game meat, might be my fav part of the process tbh. Kassler ribs and brine cured hams from bear are really something else.

More likely to bring poplar or birch smoked dry meat along though. Much better soup than jerky lol. Think of it as northern charcuterie

My grandma is dead and she made meringues and tortes and probably spent more time in the mountains than most CGNers...

Not a fly in hunting trip, but friends and I did a boat in camping trip for a few years in northern mb.
One year we tried saving weight by doing the Mountain House Chilli thing.
40% of your daily recommend salt intake per serving was so bad we couldn't eat the stuff.
I strongly suggest you read the ingredients and try the stuff for palatabilty before heading off the grid.
As another poster said, there are freeze dryers out there, but each unit runs a few K
 
Imagine payin' (tens) thousands CAD with an outfitter who wants to serve you Mountain House meals. What a sham.

Putting a bad light on all the others who are actually not too fat and lazy to serve their clients a proper meal. Super low-end !
 
It's easy to over do it with dried fruit, normally a guy wouldn't sit down and eat a dozen fresh plums or apricots.
 
I like the taste of the Beef Stew, Beef Strogenoff, Chillmac, Mac and Cheese, eggs and bacon (new version that doesn't need a cooking), Lasagna, etc... not so keen on any of the rice dishes. Sometimes eat them at home if I can't be bothered to cook.
 
Just do a Fig Colon Cleanse before the trip and then bring an extra 10lbs of real food, win-win.
 
My mountain packing experience is limited, but my wilderness canoeing experience is over 5 decades strong, and many months spent in the bush... we pack similarly for the long portages, often with no trails, as we do for the mountains. Mountain House meals, are decent, which we supplement with nuts and dried fruit, protein bars, pepperettes (used sparingly), chunks of cheese, and jerky. One benefit of the canoe trip versus the mountain trip are fish... we always have a good meal of fish available, and generally we can slingshot grouse and hares along the way aswell. Once the moose is down, tenderloin medallions are the main menu item.

Worth remembering a half dozen figs exists in nature, a bar of chocolate doesn’t. Or vodka or tang for that matter. ;)

What a strange line of reasoning from the man advocating freeze dried pasta. Something occurring in "nature" (a crop with 1000's of years of selective breeding) doesn't make it healthy. I used to chew tobacco, all natural from the ground, great for ultralight missions.

To be fair concern over consuming too much fruit is odd from the man drinking everclear and tang and not ####ting in the mountains.

Despite my general bemusement with all the posters in this thread I'm going to go out on a limb and say one hunts a whole lot further from his quad...
 
There's people catching/eating spawned out black coho salmon too. It's great ! Way better than a "fish bear". Thumbs up !
