Bumble Bee Chub Mackerel is far less pungent than many canned fish options. Once opened, the aroma is mild, so it works well alongside other items in a road trip cooler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow portable is each 15 oz can for backpackers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 15 oz can is compact and lightweight, and the pack of 12 fits easily into a car trunk, cabin pantry, or boat galley. For ultralight backpacking, you can decant portions into a sealed container to save weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the can hold up to rough handling on a boat or trail?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Is a pack of 12 enough protein?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A pack of 12 provides substantial protein for one or two people over an extended trip.
