Has anyone tried those packs of Tuna and Salmon that don't need refrigeration it their Packs? Any idea on their Pack/shelf life? Thanks
 
The shelf life is almost as long as it is the cans. The tuna is really good, better than the stuff in the cans if you ask me.

If you want a really "nice" little snack for a day hike, try the ones with the crackers, tuna, mayo packet and relish packet. Tuna salad on crackers, the only draw back is the packaging. Shelf life is pretty good on these too, I think about a year.
 
Not sure about the shelf life, but I've taken them backpacking and they work great. They're heavier than dehydrated backpacking meals, but have the advantage of not needing any preparation at all. . . you can just open the bag and eat if you want or need to without having to build a fire or fire up the stove to boil water. I like to take pita bread or tortillas or something like that to make wraps. Quick and easy and yummy.
 
They are A+. Awesome flavors available too. The sweet and spicy one is freakin awesome!!
 
Excellent way to pack meat into the woods. Pretty long shelf life but high in salt and cholesterol. Tastey as all hell though.
 
You bet. Pretty handy way to have your protein along. I have been trying the different ones,getting ready for spring. In case the other fish don't bite.:D
 
The Bumble Bee brand has a shelf life of about three years. The lemon and cracked pepper flavor is excellent. Also not all of the cholesterol in fish is the bad kind. Eating fish that isn't deep fried contains the good cholesterol that lowers your bad.
 
I had a packet a few weeks ago that was just over three years out of date, and it was in perfect shape. Tasted great. It wasn't stored in any special way, just somewhere in the kitchen. I started to look around and there were five more packets in there so I opened them all up and tried them over a couple week time frame. All were just fine. Shelf life is very good.

Lots of protein and good oils in those packets, well worth the weight. A pouch per day goes a long way to keeping you strong and your tummy satisfied.

I like them much better than canned tuna or salmon, they taste fresher and aren't shredded into tiny pieces. I left a couple pouches in a drawer for a year, on purpose... they were just fine when I opened and ate them. You might be able to find low-sodium ones but I'm not sure. I just drink a little extra water with them.

Only problem is, they are not cat-proof! My kittens got into a box of camping stuff and tore them right open :grumpy:
 
the little cans of tuna and mayo mix is great on crackers and the empty cans can be melted entirely in the fire so you don't have to take them out with you.

There is a very good chance that you have eaten pouched tuna in places you wouldn't have expected. Quite a few food service companies and sandwich places use pouched over canned.
 
I have eaten a lot of different types of these and all were delicious. Light and easy to pack too.
