Remember that the menu can be spiced up according to taste by bringing along a complete selection of spices and that condiments like hot mustard or dried salsa can enliven the lunches. A few canned goods like a meat spread or whole green chilies don’t add that much weight and pick up a meal considerably. It may also be possible to live off the land a bit by picking berries in season or by catching fish.

WHAT’S IN THE PANTRY
Think of the pantry pack in the same way as a closet space off the kitchen where you keep the bins of flour, bags of sugar, and other cooking staples that might be required for any meal. My expedition pantry usually includes the following:
extra bag of flour or bannock mix
powdered milk
cooking oil or margarine
spice kit
selection of hot drinks
cold drink crystals
daily treats
selection of condiments
extra matches in a plastic bag
desserts
beef and chicken (or veggie) bouillon
