<p><strong>TL;DR: How can I pack my food so that it isn't an odor nuisance in my backpack, in a lightweight manner if animals are no issue.</strong></p> <p><hr></p> <p>In a month I will be going on a 14-day trekking trip, completely self-sustaining. That of course implies carrying a lot of food, which smells.</p> <p>I do not plan to carry any strong smelling cheese but nevertheless I'm already annoyed by the smell of my backpack (and everything in it) after a day-hike if I carried any food which does have even the slightest odor.</p> <p>The food in question now is stuff like salami, milk powder, beef jerky, etc.</p> <p>I don't want to avoid such food because they're a great source of calories but if literally everything I will wear, use and sleep in smells like salami I surely will go crazy.</p> <p>I already tried zip-lock freezer bags and vacuum bags for clothes but they both let the odor spread through the backpack.</p> <p><hr></p> <p>Any recommendations are welcome but please be sure that they are available internationally, as I'm located in Germany.</p>
