Provisioning For Voyages

[Tophat25mk2]

As a young kid we lived in Darwin surviving cyclone tracy, my dad was a copper there, we had the police station at timber creek for a while, growing up in the early 70 s Darwin always had fresh food issues everything was trucked up, i had a very simple diet which continues today, we existed on tinned food, the odd wild cattle that dad and black tracker knocked off, today i still eat very little meat, no veges,
My ideas on provisions are quiet simple, who needs a fridge except to keep beer , coke , butter though not necessary for me.
My provions list would consist of
Powdered Milk
Condensed Milk
Coffee Milk
Cant live without my cordial, tea and coffee
SPAM, SPAM Bacon
Tinned Spaghetti, Baked Beans, Braised Steak
The inevitable 2 min noodles, Pasta Meals in dry form.
Oats I love my porridge.
Pancakes in the bottle.
Lots of dried fruit.
Various Dried Biscuits.
Home made ships biscuits or hard tack, last for eons, closely resemble eating nothing really but salt, salt up north aint a bad thing,
This about does me.
When in cooee of a shop the old hot chips , fresh milk, cold beer.
I can exist on this but with a good sniff about Woolies im sure other items could be had, being limited to a metho stove with no oven kinda limits things too

So what do you all carry on voyages around the traps, what am I missing out on, baring in mind you have to store all this stuff too

Someone told me about tinned peaches and UHT custard, now i always keep a few cans onboard, can also substitute as a quick make-do meal, if getting into an anchorage late and you don't feel like cooking anything.

Wraps keep fora good amount of time.
My old favourite is "Rice Cream".

Ah yes the old tinned creamed rice love that stuff, dried fruit n nuts always a good thing to nibble on, sultanas especially, i did see a nice barbeque styled thing at bcf that runs on them little cans of butane, its to big for me, the little twin burner cook tops you can get now might be ok, not sure how safe a 40 odd year old spirit stove is these days, i dislike lpg on boats, them butane tins are ok.
