My Trail Rations
Rock-a-hominy....it's ground parched corn, and it is different than corn meal.
Dry cured bacon...if you can't get this or don't want to drop the coin for it you can use the shelf stable pre-cooked bacon, but you may need to carry more to equal the calories that I get in what I carry as you lose some of the fat, and if calories are a concern such as in very cold weather.
raisins..., mostly for the potassium in hot weather; good quick sugar source in cold weather
jerked venison ...or a person could just use over the counter jerky like Jack Links
ship's biscuit if I'm out of rockahominy
gunpowder tea (a type of green tea) or loose black tea...
151 rum with lime and sugar...cut with hot water when consumed as grog. I know some folks that mix it 50/50 with regular rum, which gives you better rum flavor and it's then very close to the original cask strength of rum.
In cold weather I carry some sugar for the tea
I've also carried butter in a tin, and or cheese, also in cold weather
IF it's a foraging trip, like we are going to fish or try for some squirrels, I will carry my salt horn and some red pepper flakes
