	I grew up in a Hungarian immigrant home, and grew up on stuff like this: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) 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? Andrew

	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.

	Some processed meats I take: pepperoni, hard salami, polish sausage, kielbasa, chicken in foil envelope, tuna in foil envelope. Some recipies: spagetti with tomato sauce; boiled dinner with sausage, carrots, cabbage and potatoes; baked beans with sausage; chicken and tuna boxed "helpers"; boxed pasta salads; jambalaya rice meal.

	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. a

	Any of the foil packed store bought meats are excellent. I get my wild game sausage from these folks. Their venison/jalapeño 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 (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	Spam "Singles" now comes packaged in individual 3 oz. foil packets. Pricey but convenient and conforms to the can/bottle ban. I've had good luck dehydrating homemade marinara sauce for pasta dishes. It take a half hour or so to rehydrate it in camp. Real nice on a rainy day when cooking under the tarp. I also take pre-cooked bacon. Saves a lot of time and doesn't attract the bears like frying it in camp. Just put the pre-cooked stuff in a foil wrap and put it next to the fire for a few minutes to warm and re-crisp it CanoeFly

	What other meat products do people take? I pre-cook most of the meat I take, then I seal them in "foodsaver" bags. Once cooked, all this meat is safe for quite awhile. I cook breakfast sausage, brats, and hamburger then seal it this way. The meat I don't precook is pepperoni, (for camp pizza) hard salami (for lunch), tuna (the kind that comes in bags), and venison jerky (which I suppose you could say is already "cooked"). prouboy

	First or second night I'll eat a 14 or 16 oz. Ribeye from Zups call ahead and have it double freeze wraped and frozen. Then there is the sloppy joes , chili dehydrated at home, pepperoni, landjaegers, dried tuna, and some smoked sausage.

	We usually take about 1- 1.5 lbs of hot or sweet sopressata or dry cured salami (store bought) to cut up for lunch with hard cheeses (aged gouda, piave - parmesan-like). This needs simply to be kept cool, and since we trip early season, no problems. Some homemade smoked venison hot stick also keeps well for a number of days. homemade trail bologna is good for a day or two, if kept cool and dry.

Nothing like some cold Canadians and wild game brats too give you that "up north" feel Its little things like that and his homemade sauna, that make up for his occasional lapses in pick-up and delivery times.

Heating anything cured with spices, releases oils in the spice, which gives you a boost in flavor. A little related tip. When pan sautéing/ meat/fish/poultry, instead of adding the spices afterward or sprinkling on while cooking, when you add the cooking oil to pan, sprinkle in the spices. Don't crank up the heat too high, the spices will get bitter, but at a sauté, the dry spice will release its oil, and give a more intense flavor than spice sprinkled in late in the cooking process

	I bring Schmidt's german beer sausage, garlic sausage and landjaegers. These are phenomena; - made in Nicollet, MN, USA (small town near New Ulm - big German area) Like a few other posts here - it is a faily owned operation that;s been around for a very long time - high quality, amazing stuff. I bring several sticks with me on each trip. They keep well for days and days on the trail. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	Hey Ibfly This has caught my interest. Sounds like something that would be a great surprise for the first night eats for my crew. I know this is going to sound kind of dopey but doesn't this stuff have to stay refrigerated? Zero experience with this sort of thing other than running down to the grocery store and throwin a few brats on the grill. What you have suggested is it like a "summer sausage" or do you put the fire to them? I wonder if they would they even ship something like that to Michigan? Anyway sounds like the real deal. Care to elaborate further?
