Sounds like quite an expedition! Wish I could be there. Remembering some of
my experiences . . .

Aluminum foil is one of the best things to take - it's versatile as hell.
Great for wrapping fish for cooking. But there's a good bit of heavy stuff
there - cheese, canned ham, ham, bacon, salami, canned sausages, etc. Sounds
like it would be good to eat, and if you don't have to carry it very far, or
if you have horses or helicopters or something to carry it, I guess it's not
much of a problem. But in my view, by the time you carry all that stuff and
the utensils and fuel to cook it you'll be too worn out to do much fishing.
The materials you use to wrap all that meat will also make a hell of a
bundle of very aromatic garbage. Do you have bears?

My personal preference is to focus on high-carbohydrate, light-weight stuff
that will satisfy energy requirements without adding lots of weight. I like
to minimize the water, because I can always find water anywhere I'm fishing,
and by either boiling it or adding iodine I can make the water potable.
Dried fruit, dried vegetable soups, dried meat (jerky), dehydrated meals
(somewhat expensive, but can be good). Maybe some chili pepper and other dry
spices, and aluminum foil to wrap the fish in for cooking.

I happen not to like ramen noodles - not much substance, and lots of salt to
make you think you're getting something to eat. It's really more of a salty
snack much more suitable for a winter snack at home.

That will free up capacity for whiskey or aquavit. Enough of that and you
won't miss the culinary deficiencies!
