[pct-l] Bread/Tortillas/Cheese

[dicentra]

Stuff with preservatives last longer. And are easier to find as you resupply. 
I've had the natural tortillas from Trader Joes go moldy on me in 2 days.  And 
when I lived in (wet!) Port Angeles we had to keep our bread in the fridge or it 
would be gross in 24 hours.

I know Stumbling Norwegian shipped himself cheese sticks. He didn't have a 
problem with it - Think about how cheese came into existance in the first place. 
Don't do this with soft cheeses, however.

I am curious how people who send themselves resupply boxes include things like 
bread, tortillas or cheeses. Don't these go bad during the several weeks in 
advance the box needs to be sent? Seems like breads/tortillas in my home only 
last a few days, perhaps that is due to the more natural brands I tend to buy? 
If these are items that you have mailed in your resupply boxes are there any 
certain brands that last longer or tips that you could share?

Or are these items bought on trail to supplement your box items, and if so do 
almost all stops have access to these basics (Warner Springs, Hikertown, KM?)

Thanks for sharing your experiences!
 Lisa
