salami - Backpacking Light
Jun 15, 2010 · Don't worry about taking some salami or summer sausage into bear country. The bears will be happy to help you take care of it.

Beef jerky, tuna in foil packets, salami - Backpacking Light
Aug 22, 2016 · Now this was un-sealed salami, not in factory-sealed plastic. I suspect factory-sealed or home-vac-packed with the outside carefully cleaned would be very low-odor.

Episode 115 | Tiny Things - Backpacking Light
Dec 30, 2024 · A few choices for light knives. My current carry is a Gerber LST at 16.8g, It’s a nice knife. Opens smoothly and locks precisely.

How much gorp/trail mix is enough? - Backpacking Light

Your favorite low/no water requirement foods - Backpacking Light
Dec 9, 2015 · Early in a trip, I bring foods that aren’t much different than what I might eat at home. Because (1) I don’t carry the first day’s food very far (better to have super-light and no-fuel foods at the end of a trip because that stuff gets carried the furtherest) and (2) I like to transition over a few meals from around-town food to trail food – I get fewer lower-GI issues if my diet doesn ...
Tritensil Review - Backpacking Light
Jul 22, 2018 · I’m impressed by the reviews of the knife’s cutting abilities – salami and cheese and bread – I wouldn’t expect that much performance from a plastic knife.
