Hi Jude.
We also do a lot of remote outback work where shopping is every 3-4 weeks.
I just make normal meal packs of meat (2 of us) and freeze these in our 60l. Trailblaza. Frozen peas, mixed stir fry type veges also.
Also freeze milk (take a bit out first) which will last 3 weeks.
With veges., the main thing is to pack them so as to minimise bruising. Spuds, pumpkin. onions etc. bruise very easily in transit and then deteriorate very quickly.
When back at
camp after shopping, all our vege's go into a couple of the old style perforated metal "meat safes" which keeps them cool enough to stop them sweating, another problem.
We make our own bread, something that is never a shortage.
Tinned food is our last resort, but its always handy to have a few tins of fish etc. in case of an emergency close in due to weather.
Reckon with your thinking and preparation for this, you will have a great trip.
cheers furph
