Summer sausage and Parmesan cheese is handy as it keeps well. Most hot cereals work real good. A hunters pudding makes a breakfast or a desert. Raisins are sweet, as is chocolate. Dried onions or dried mushrooms, and any sort of dried chopped veggies like carrot parsnips ect. And sliced dry potatoes are good. Pepperoni or other dry sausage, dry smoked bacon. Blocks of maple sugar. Coffee or tea.
Dry green peas cook up pretty quick, about an hour and a half. Ships bread or Johnny cakes carry well. Rice is light and packs lots of calories. Cooked salt pork carries well. Little tins of spices. Several days worth of meals can be carried for a few pounds.

Boiled beef can be shredded up and then the fibers dried. It keeps like jerky but cooks up to a broth real quick.
Dry potato slices, a hand full of dried veggies and a hand full of that dried beef makes a real tasty soup on the trail in about half an hour on the fire.

Parmesan or Asiago you need a hard dry cheese.
Round roast works great as it shreds in to long fibers

on the Parmesan cheese. the harder the better. We're talking real Parmesan cheese, not that sawdust in a green can.
Yes indeed the hard blocks or triangles. Some of Old English and French cheese were as hard as Italian cheeses today, but now are rare.
Strong cheese scares folks away, but a few bites and suddenly it taste pretty good.

Day trips? I take dried pears and dried bananas. And I prefer a block of sharp cheddar to go with a bag of sun dried tomatoes. The combo is fantastic! Pair it up with spicy venison snack sticks from the smoker.
Not H.C., but I also take peanut M&M's, and a Lifestraw so I don't have to carry water.

Used to be coffee, instant hot cereal or oatmeal, "pocket soup", jerky, summer sausage, maybe some maple sugar candy. Things would be interchanged depending on weather and how long a day I planned.
Now for a day hunt it's, coffee, a mix of Brazil and macadamia nuts, banana chips, maybe some dried apples, "pocket soup" or bullion, jerky or some type of dried sausage, maybe a few hardboiled eggs.
Totally non-period cheat. If it's cold and I don't plan to be out all day, I skip the coffee and stuff I need to heat water for. I sneak a small thermos into my haversack containing a mix of hot beef and bone broths, and a tablespoon of refined coconut oil. I often add unrefined to coffee when it's cold out and I need energy and warmth.

I've never met a cheese I did't like. Just sayin'.
The grocery store., But, I'm also willing to travel a 100 miles to buy good groceries.
A small wheel of Gouda or Edam cheese also travels well, as it is usually encased in wax.
So long as the weather is not to hot.
A small waxed cheese is great, after it’s open the end dries quickly and forms a study protecting the rest. As long as it’s not too hot the laughing cow brand individual soft cheeses are good as they are in little wax wheels.
Walmart around here sells hard blocks of Parmesan and Asiago. A local liquor store has a big gourmet food counter that has some hard to find cheese
Parmesan was imported to America when we were still colonies.

The only short YouTube clip of "Oh, no, not again" I'm seeing is from Spaceballs, and it doesn't seem quite fitting for here.

Lots'f cheeses travel well. It was presumably discovered by accident, but was kept 'round 'cause it preserved the summer's milk for the winter.
I don’t like to carry cans. As trash cans are hard to find on the trail.
Spam,in of its self is close at least to pork products of the time. It’s probably safe for a few days out of the can and in your haversack but I might get nervous over it in any warm weather.

Folks: Let's not turn this good topic into another heated discussion about Spam please. If you do, expect me to start poking the old Delete button.
