you basically want to take the most calorie dense foods you possibly can (aka the least amount of water weight)
here's a pretty comprehensive plebbitor list comparing common backpacker foods and pre-prepared meals: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DsLpp9lEXGZTKWVMyA3eNTeN4NHTSGGAwln1yoWI0Cw/edit

guys like skurka do shit that doesn't involve running into towns. he circumnavigated alaska and shit. he's been places no man probably has in 5-10k+ years. totally enabled by the fact that he's a rich nepo baby who never had to worry about getting a job.
but yeah that's true. did you know an entire costco pizza fits in a gallon ziploc bag?
