Cheese While Backpacking

How does cheese hold up on backpacking trips? I’m thinking of using those Tillamook cheese squares on 4 night backpacking trip in the summer. Has anyone tried this?

First night meal- Premade, sliced, then frozen beef and stuffing meatloaf, instant mashed potatoes, frozen green beans, gravy. Perfect on a cold evening in the backcountry of Kananaskis, AB!

Would you try it?

30 year old backpacking meals. Packaging has held up nice over time, could be worth adding boiling water and giving it a taste test.

Knorr Alfredo sauce meal idea

I am putting together a Mylar bag with 2 oz. of rice noodles, 2 cups freeze dried broccoli, 1/2 packet (21g) knorr alfredo sauce powder, 1/4 cup whole milk powder and 1 oz packet of Trailtopia freeze dried chicken. Add 2T Parmesan cheese after rehydrating.

Any thoughts on my ratio of these ingredients and whether I can successfully throw them all together and just add 2 cups boiling water and wait 10 minutes? The knorr sauce made a huge burned mess when I cooked it in my pot last trip. I’m hoping I can get away with just tossing everything together in the bag. Thanks for any feedback.
I’d try it out ahead of time but don’t have spare chicken to use and it’s too late to order more.

Last minute 5 night/6 day trip food load out

I would usually have a bit more home made food in my bag, but I'm pretty happy with what I've pulled together in a grocery trip. I'll pick up a few pieces of fresh fruit and veg for the first couple of the days on the way out. Weighing in about 4.5kg at the moment and all vegan!

Question: Can you add cold water to dehydrated/freeze dried meals and leave overnight, as opposed to boiling water?

I'm gonna be flying in to a remote village in Alaska, and am worried about having to buy butane once I'm there. I'm going to be hitch hiking to the trail head, and instead of bringing a camp stove and buying butane, I'm wondering if my dehydrated/freeze dried meals will reconstitute with cold water and 8 hours of time instead of boiling water.

Ideas for Meals

Hey everyone, I’m going on a 5 night long camping trip soon in the mountains and I’m looking for some easy ideas of meals to prep/ make while I’m there. I’ll be in a front country site, no power/water but I will be bringing a little backpacking propane stove with me, lots and lots of water and a cooler. I’ve never done a trip this long, so any ideas or suggestions of things to make for meals would be great.
