DIY Tuna Creations

[T&Es_Dad]

As I prepare for my first multi day solo Backpack hunt in October I am building a spreadsheet with a breakdown of my daily foods with their macro nutrients. As of where I'm at with it right now I need to increase my daily amount of protein.
I am considering adding in Tuna Creations packages but they are relatively small portions, just 15-17 grams protein per package on average.
Rather than carrying multiple packages per day would it be safe to empty 2-3 packages in to a vacuum sealable bag, suck the air out and vacuum seal it up?
Has anyone else ever done this before? How long might it last? Other than light getting through a clear bag, can you see any other issues that could arise that i might be over looking?
Another thought i had rather than buying tuna creations packages was to DIY my own tuna blend from canned tuna or possibly even canned chicken, determine my portion size and vacuum seal them up, 1 per day.
Again, has anyone done this before?
My thought is 1 tuna package per day at roughly 30-45 grams protein per package.
Positive or negative let my know your thoughts on this.

They're sterilized after they're packaged, similar to canning. Opening them and repackaging them provides an opportunity for bacteria to get in. I wouldn't risk it. If even one of your packages goes bad on a hunt I bet you'd be wishing you just carried them all in the original pouch.

Could just get the large bags. 11oz family size is what I use.
I dont see an issue with carrying 3-4 of a different flavor per day though. Much easier to spread it out into 2-3 portions if they are each individually pkgd.

Depending on which brand or flavor, Protien looks like roughly 17-20g per portion for a small pouch or just get the 11oz pkd and have 66g in one meal.

Could you buy tuna, cook it, dehydrate it and make your own jerky? Rehydrate it with the meal…

Wouldn't regular store-bought jerky provide the needed protein?

Yes, but it would be in "wet" form. My thought is if it was dehydrated and vacuum sealed the risk of contamination would be reduced.
