I know a lot of this info is scattered all over the forums and is highly debatable, but I was hoping to get a lot of info in one place. My fiance and I are really new to backpacking and just trying to figure things out. Maybe this will help others figure out days between town stops?
It's an easy game. Complete the sentence above replacing X with these foods in these conditions. Assume the weather is 90F days/ 70F nights.
Block Cheddar Cheese, original packaging opened in ziploc
Laughing Cow Cheese, cardboard opened wedges sealed
Cream Cheese, unopened individual tub like from deli
Grated Parmesan in ziploc
Pepperoni or Hard salami pre-sliced original packaging opened in ziploc
Pepperoni or Hard salami, whole same condition as above
Summer Sausage original package opened in ziploc
Precooked Bacon, original package opened in ziploc
Real Bacon Bits original package opened in ziploc
Raw Eggs, stowed in plastic egg keeper
Whole wheat tortillas, opened original packaging
Shelf Bagels (not deli or frozen), opened original packaging
Now, would you add any days if it was 50f high/30f low? How many? Also, if you have any other "refrigerate after opening" foods I missed but are popular, it would be greatly appreciated. I want to take the info I get and put it in a Google Doc spreadsheet to share with other noobs. Obviously for different opinions I'll put info in a range (ex. X food, Y1-Y2 days).
Thanks in advance for any info!
