Hey tboykin, the fish in a can combined with bears is why I always burn all cans in the fire pit. Every where I hunt, there are big grizzlies. Two places I hunt, 15 miles apart have 3 boar's over 800 lbs. And a sow around 700 lbs. Where I hunt and how I set up my campsites, along with my food and camp kitchen I have to follow a very strict camp procedures that I don't allow myself to get lazy with. Knock on wood, I have never had a grizzly in camp, ever. Where I will be for a few months this year has me nervous, so I will use my parimeter Carolina reaper trip alarms and I am going to invest in an electric bear fence.

Steve, are those tasty bite food bags good? I have two flavored pouches of those and I still haven't tried them. It's been over a year and a half now.

Bear fence = good night's rest.  Have used mine often, don't be grudge the extra weight a bit.

I like wolf brand chili, bring some sourdough bread and throw bits of that into it (sometimes fritos). I also like to put some of those uncrustables sandwiches in my cooler. I like a big 5-liter bag-in-box of merlot (they last for a month after opening). I usually have a few cans of various types of beans - baked, fried, etc. Some freezing cold lemonade is nice too.

Sometimes I'll bring my ooni pizza oven - do some wilderness pizzas, nachos, quesadillas, calzones, etc. I've got a cast iron pan for the oven so I can throw a steak in there as well and it cooks in 5 minutes.

What I wish they made were canned pastas that weren't the Chef Boyardee crap that just tastes like sugar to me.

Aha! That got me wondering why can't I just "can" my own home cooked food in vacuum sealer bags? Which made me slap my forehead and realize of course it's possible, that's exactly what MRE's are. :laugh: So, why not look into making your own better tasting (and cheaper) MRE's with a vacuum sealer machine which are fairly inexpensive, instead of tin cans? Just reheat on a little camp stove to be safe. For 3-5 days, seems like it'd work for stuff like spaghetti with sauce that is already acidic (natural preservative), etc. Or maybe add some citric acids to stuff experiment to see if that helps preserve.

If I was doing a bunch of pack hiking where I had to carry everything on my back this is what I would look into. And pickling for veggies (drain the juices and vacuum pack them too). Luckily I can get most places with an ATV so I can pack heavier. But I am still going to look into doing this for remote bush food since a vacuum sealer machine is only $40 and I could make that up quick by saving money cooking my own food.
