Behind the Scenes: Food Packing

6/25/23 – As the season continues, we are getting more and more outfitting groups! We offer complete equipment, complete food, or complete outfitting (both equipment and food) packages. One of the jobs for crew is helping to pack for these outfitting groups. For food specifically, we offer a wide range of meals which can be selected using the food preferences form on the website. We then package it up with breakfasts and dinners in daily packaged portions and then separate bags for fresh food (such as burgers, steak, eggs, cheese, peanut butter, jelly), lunch components, and miscellaneous items (such as snacks, dishwashing gear, cooking oil and cracker meal for frying fish, paper towels, etc.). All of this gets packed into a canoe pack lined with a cardboard box and trash bag and is all set, ready to go whenever the group arrives! – Anna

Breakfasts and dinner are portioned and individually packaged by meal. Fresh foods can be paired with the freeze dried meals for the first few days and are packaged in separate small, soft-sided cooler containers to stay cold.
All of the food ready for a complete outfitting group of 4 people over 4 days.
Food pack all set to go. The box/trash bag liner is helpful not only to keep the food from getting crushed, but it is also a perfect place to put any trash or food waste in between the box and trash bag to follow the leave no trace principles.
