I found that Hamburger Helper type stuff etc is a lot cheaper.

Carb overload and ultra processed junk is the easy way out for light weight and stability but too much just doesn't sit well for me.
Pre-cooked bacon, salami/sausage, jerky, cheeses, nuts, dehydrated eggs, butter/tallow, a frozen steak for night 1 or 2, etc are a few of what I've brought on some excursions with success.
I also have spent extra $$$$ for ultra light gear (pack, tent, bag) along with going fairly minimalist so I can bring more/better food!

Pilot bread and peanut butter. One of my favorite but it'll need a layer of Malkins Rasberry Jam on top of the peanut butter! I love Pilot Bread! I spent about 4 months backpacking in Alaska and many more months throughout my life in the north and on the Pacific Crest Trail. One of my favorite was Rice a Roni spiked with extra butter. Also ate a lot of Ramen Noodles. If you add a handful of potato flakes it thickens it up nice. Mac and cheese ain't bad, either. I know when backpacking weight is a constant issue. However one of the things I craved when I came out of the bush was citrus. I started packing in 3 or 4 oranges and spaced them out every other day or so. Heavy, but a real treat. The thing I craved the most was animal fat. Whenever I would come out I would head for the nearest burger joint and get myself the biggest, greasiest burger I cold find. Moosetrot

Goober jelly sandwiches I make a loaf into individual bagged sandwiches then put them back in the bread bag until I want a couple. Teddy grams and canned chips work well also.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

pemmican, venison jerky and parched corn/peas for the hardcore...I hear that peak refuel meals are more tasty then mountain house but I ain't spending $10+ on one meal.

I hear that black orvis will match the midway sale price if you call them, in case midway is out of a certain meal...

When I was in Montana for 10 days in the snowcrest range we packed light as possible except for food. Close to 30 pounds each of food. Lots of nuts, summer sausage, cheddar cheese? Dehydrated beans ready in 5 minutes, lentils, and that was in my bag of supper food for three that was in my group. Snack bag had most of the nuts pristine bars m&ms, and breakfast was granola oatmeal milk powder eggs bagels stuff like that
Trapping is what built North America, why take that away?
