Cheese

Don't forget the old standby: individual serving string cheese.
Does the empty Baby Bel packaging work as fire starter material?

i don't know about it as a fire starter, but once while at the beach I used it to wax a skim board...worked great!

I do believe it is wax, but I never tried to burn it. Never had a campfire on this trip. I don't want to start another "do you burn your trash" thread .

I wouldn't dream of opening that can of worms.

Over the years of outdoor recreation I have found that Mild Cheddar lasts longer 4-5 days while others have gone rancide in just a couple of days

A long time ago we found that the really sharp Cracker Barrel cheese lasts a lot longer than the mild kind. But still, it's cheese, and you need to use it fairly fast in warm weather.

I'll eat any kinda cheese, as long as it's Not-cho cheese.

I looked up after making a teezers If you cheddar isn't making it- you are eating it too slow or your not storing it right... Red Dog. Block dry cheese lasts... keep it closer to the cold water bottle or take a reflectix and wrap the water bottle or bladder and stuff the cheese in the center to keep it cool. I use reflectix to keep my back from radiating heat into the water bladder.. it works for a cool drink in the heat of the day.

Example>>>>>>

I don't get annoyed about the idiot that gets loud and drunk till two in the morning... I wake the ass up at four and tell him how much I enjoyed his demeanor!


Hey I was in good shape as a young man... I could climb mountains, good at sports, catch a meal, and run away from trail runners....

Here is my favorite---

Regarding cheese: I dislike the way it gets "oily." Is there a way to store it to help this situation? Would it be better to place the cheese in wax paper and then in plastic?

In the summer I remove the cheese from its wrapper and wrap it in a new dry paper towel like bounty and keep it tight with a rubber band. This keeps the cheese from getting oily.

Cheese is calorie dense, also. Any hard cheese you find in the grocery store will do, cheddar, Colby, etc. Not many gourmet shops along the trail. The Cabot cheese is a treat as you get farther north, don't miss it.
