Menu Planning & Packing

We provide complete food packing and menu service for private Tatshenini-Alsek River trips. You select your desired meal options from our Trip Menu or use one of our Sample Menus as a guide and customize as you go. We will shop, label, pack, and provide a calendar planner, recipe book, and packing maps.  

Food Pack Organization:

Dry goods are packed in 2-3 soft, waterproof bilge bags (depending on the trip size) and lined with cardboard boxes to provide structure and organization.

Perishables such as produce, meat, and dairy are packed in coolers with block ice; you’ll have 1 cooler per raft.

We label ingredients and provide a menu planner, recipe book, and maps showing where is food packed. We will cover the food packing system during your group’s pre-trip meeting in Haines.

Menu Options

We have built two sample menus to simplify your food planning process. Use these samples as a guide to build your menu — or create your own menu plan by selecting from the recipes listed in the General Food Pack Information Form.
