Mackerel was just used for fish bait where I grew up! mmmm... spinal column texture.

Our Valley staple in the 70's was Top Ramen with a can of tuna mixed in. When we were in splurge mode we'd buy a package of Fig Newtons and a quart of Hoppy's Favorite chocolate milk.

Ugh, kipper snacks.

I get seriously violent when people bust those things out around me. No way do they make it into the haulbag. They get tossed the minute homey ain't looking. I don't need all my gear smelling like a Detroit hooker with a yeast infection.

Dirtbags aren't usually so prissy. Who cares what it smells like?

I lived on just Peanut butter once. It was pretty boring(dare I say Bland?);-)

I've posted this before, but bread,cheese, and smoked sausage in the backcountry. Add gel when you need a boost.

Rice and beans, and tuna salad (add lots of veggies) when car camping.

You'll eat for something like a couple of dollars a day and be full when you tuck in for the night.

Luxury & dirtbag really shouldn't be in the same sentence. That's happenstance & cannot be counted on.

to make Don Paul's prepackaged indian food recipe rule, add raisins and Peanuts, even better if you throw in some fresh veggies like cauliflower, broccoli

20lb bag of potatoes for $2, some bacon ends, pinto beans, a gallon or two of Red Mountain, and the cheapest coffee. Sold $80/cord for hand-cut oak (ax and misery whip only) on the lower Kings River, winter 1977/78. Living under a big, smelly, canvas tarp in the cold valley fog. Had it pretty good, we thought. Freedom!
