Default Victualizing for long passages?

One thing you find is that lots of people over-provision. Remember, pretty
much anywhere you go there will be people, and they eat too. Carry lots of
dried things like pasta, beans, rice etc. Canned meats, vegetables, etc.
Ultra pasturized milk like Parmalat can last 6 months, and dried milk pretty
much forever. Flat breads like tortillas, pita, etc. will last a long time
if unopened and take up a lot less space than regular bread. Dehydrated and
MRE's last forever, but are expensive. Here are some links:

Hi,

What kinds of foods do y'all long distance cruisers carry for passages
lasting weeks without replenishment?
TIA
