Packing Food in Tubes - Into the Arctic
Janet Trépanier: I feel like we’re in the future eating at a tube.
Cory Trépanier: Well, tubes that are made at home. At the Home Depot I bought 23 feet of that ABS piping here, four inch diameter that we can carry all our food inside here in Bear Country. And by foot I lay down here the rubber seal and there it should be a bear proof container or something like that. If any bear can get through in here then he’s walking to it.
It also gives us a chance to carry it on a pack that you’re already going to be food. Normal barrel containers are kind of little barrel in. They are not much room in the pack of the barrels so we thought making like this. We can strap one on each side of our pack to at least one per person. The food that Janet had prepared back at home.
Janet Trépanier: Spaghetti and sauce and then hamburger. It doesn’t look very appetizing. Hopefully once it’s all in the water and wind and well it lets you know what it looks like.
Cory Trépanier: Now, if I put those stuffs that doesn’t smell anything? Until you’ll put that up and so it should be very bear-proof and it’s very compact. There’s a meal in here for all-purpose once you dehydrate though. Maybe bear-proof but you’re not having a food enough I guess so.
Janet Trépanier: It’s not going to work because you know they’re never going to come out of there to get them in.
Cory Trépanier: Okay, breakfast, oatmeal.
Janet Trépanier: And one of these.
Cory Trépanier: And hummus for lunch? I’ve already got there and a dinner so we’ll get our holidays worth of food and it just works like it’s posted. It’s the only shot at all in here alright, down at the bottom. This is the long cave in and we’ve got the sauce. Breakfast, dinner and lunch for day one and it’s coming to both there, so we should be able to fit three days worth of one too.
Kids are going to be at the base camp. We can use the barrel to carry the bulk of the food and rather than carrying them around 10 days with the food and all the barrels and all the tubes. The biggest from being that those beagles over there they are really cute to carry. You don’t really fit the tubes to them.
Janet Trépanier: And all the other stuff too.
Cory Trépanier: And all the other containers with their jam and coffee and everything else, so do the compromise using a barrel or you use your canoe in all the time and because we’re going out with someone from politic who is can be hang all our gear out there by ATP. We’re good to use at base camp and we’re going to hike overnight. We’ll use these tubes to put the food that we’re needing for a couple of days at the camp so the best of both worlds.
