Tom asks: Do any of you have recommendations for other cheeses that can stand up that well, despite warm temperatures and no refrigeration? On a two week in the Queen Charlottes a couple of years ago I vacuum sealed high quality American cheese (which I normally hate because it has no flavor, but the more expensive deli-store stuff is quite good. Especially in fresh air) It lasted just fine right up to the last day. Each meal's worth of cheese was bagged separately. The weather was cool. In hot weather places I have put a small dry bag full of perishables into the water at camp and have even buried it in the sand on beaches. Never seen a spot of mold on anything except once on flour tortillas after a week. (The Foodsaver thing was a good purchase, especially combined with a dehydrator.) But I camp a lot. Double sandwich bags pressed really tight to get the air out might work as well.
