Arctic Waterway Canoe Trip

Bear Chow · 05-31-2011, 09:12 AM

I posted this on Pirate as it has a bigger audiance, but there in no reason for me to not rub it in your faces too.

I am headed to the Upper Missinaibi River for a twelve day canoe trip the first of July and I'm looking for ideas for meals for after the first 48 hours. Since that is about the limit to keep meats. Open fires may or may not be allowed, we won't know until closer to our launch date. We will only have a couple high output single burner stoves. If they allow for open fires, I may do some ground foil baking.

I'll be traveling with 12 Boy Scouts and 3 other adults and expect we will need at least 3500-4000 calories a day. So I'm hoping to find some tasty, stick to your ribs recipes. Anyone got something to share?

Thanks,

When I went and did boundary waters u north I think we did alot of freeze dried meals they actualy weren't that bad.but an idea to keep ur meat longer would maybe be to somehow keep ur meat I a bag and tie it to ur canoe and drag it along in the water.I don't know where ur going if its a river trip or lakes but you could try that.

I have used dry ice before and a little chunk of that stuff goes a long way... Also MRE's could be an option..
