>>2396320I envy you and hope your enjoy your trip :-)
I never bring beans or lentils, it's just not practical to make a cooking fire every day here (central Europe).
>>2396646I think you meant the cooking time for beans, which is long. However, if you establish a camp and are able to get a fire up first, you are fine.
>>2396660Na, that's ok. In fact i think it's really healthy. Your poops will be well structured.
>>2396825Hard cheese like Italian parmesan (Parmesan Reggiano, don't buy substitutes) will be good for weeks in a backpack in medium climate. It's 30% water, 30% protein and 30% fat. Always buy ungrated, grated has higher surface and will spoil sooner. The cheese will taste kind of dry by itself, because it's high protein content.
If you can get away with young Gouda from a climate/traveltime perspective, i would prefer it.
If the cheese is vacuum packaged it might hold for month.
Picrel, don't forget a pocket fish.
