>>465839in ye olde days people made cheese because it was a preserved form of milk. they didnt drink a whole lot of milk back then. they didnt have refrigeration. they made butter, yogurt and cheese. try taking some kefir with you if you need a dairy drink while heading out. shit can sit around for weeks and it just gets better. since this is an /out/ food thread and some dont know that cheese is fine to take out, and is quite a popular option for such an activity, i figured i'd mention eggs are fine to take out. i've seen special plastic carton for them so they dont get crushed. if you get some homegrown eggs the shells are twice as strong as the store bought ones. to better preserve without refrigeration coat them in olive or any other type of oil. not the most weight or space efficient. a splurge item.
