Smoked salmon for backcountry trip

[farwest]

Im looking to see if its posssible to smoked salmon for a multi day backcountry trip, no ice chest or way to keep cool. Is it possible to smoke salmon and vac seal for this type of use?

Yes. Smoking was originally a method to preserve.
How many days? You could also make Salmon Jerky.
My favorite camping fair is MRE's. Heat water, dump in bag, eat the mush.

3-4 days is what I’m looking for. I usually eat freeze dried meals for diner or homemade dehydrated meals.

3-4 days ....need drying/heavy salting. Wanna eat it as is or re-hydrate?

I want to eat it not re-hydrate.

Does it have to be salmon? If not you have plenty of options: summer sausage, dry sausage, air dried meats.

If you go with MRE don't forget to arrange an exit strategy.
