I grew up in a Hungarian immigrant home, and grew up on stuff like this:

I have found their cured sausages fantastic for trips, as them come vacuum sealed, hold up well without refrigeration and are about the most delicious stuff on earth.  Anything this guy makes is first rate.

What other meat products do people take?

the 'scout' sausages are nice.  You can divide them and individually vac seal them, no need to deep six em. The nice thing is you can simply open it up and eat it, no need to slice or what ever. Hot isn't *terribly* hot, but I'd suggest you get some of each to see which suit your taste best before going.  The larger salamis are nice for bigger groups. The bacon is slab-style and cured.  In my house it was served as is, or diced into other recipes.

Jim's Blue Ribbon summer sausage, beef or garlic - never pork. I grew up on 'em and wouldn't doubt old friends still work there plus they are available in a few stores where I live now. They're hard so don't necessarily NEED refrigeration.

Bacon lasts weeks with a little care as well. If the store keeps it barely refrigerated and the use by date is months from now... Canadian bacon, same deal. Just consider when you opened it and the conditions it experienced.

Zups makes a no-refrigeration pepperoni that is exceptional. They call it pepperoni but it's something else entirely, smoked, spicy, coarse ground... keeps forever.

My mom was more of a paprikash than goulash cook.  I make a pretty nice chicken paprikash myself. I do it a little different each time, and I don't think I've ever actually seen it written down. Let me know if you're interested, I can give it my best shot.

Any of the foil packed store bought meats are excellent.
I get my wild game sausage from these folks.
Their venison/jalapeņo sausage sticks are out of sight!
One of them. some sliced "wax" cheese, rolled in a pita or any flat bread makes a filling a quick paddling lunch.
 Sausage also makes a nice "filler" for dinner meals, like rice/cous-cous or any grain dish. Also good in the Zaterains New Orleans style rice dishes Grin
