Summer Sausage (was) RE: [at-l] food

[nealb at midlandstech.edu (William Neal)]

Summer sausage is a great backpacking item.  But I would get the small ones
unless you are going to feed a hoard.  The big ones are messy and do not
last forever unless the wrapping is left unbroken.  Sooner or later they go
bad.  Sealed, they last and last and...: I once bought a lot of the big ones
for less than half the original cost and they lasted for months.  I even had
a friend cut some up and freeze them and seal them and mail drop them to me.
None went bad. But the small ones are handier.

Ok folks..... need some more advice.  What kind of foods do you'all pack
when you do a mulitday hike???  im putting together a menue for my tri

I like Mountain Home meals in a bag (add boiled water, stir, eat) but they
are pricey.  But if you're only going for a week or less, then they are
affordable.  I also like peanut butter and bagels.... and summer sausage.
And of course, my favorite gorp mix.
