In 2 weeks I'm going to move to the Arctic where food prices are pic related. I'll be driving up in a big SUV, and traveling light so I can take literally hundreds of pounds of food and ingredients with me. What should I make sure I bring? I can cook, but honestly I'm not that good and my parents cooked for me all through childhood/uni.

MRE's.
All of them.
Oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, milk powder, canned beans, canned meat and fish, vegetable powder, tomato paste

They seem kind of expensive.
Learn to hunt.

I am considering this, I was going to bring it up with coworkers since there are copious amounts of elk, moose, and deer up there. If I could get most of my protein from hunting it would really be a load off.

Will you have access to a freezer, or some kind of special arctic stack where you can stock frozen food?
Where in the Arctic, exactly? Alaska or Canada?

That's why you steal them from the base, dummy.
yeah all of the above basically
tons of canned food and dry shit.
make sure you bring some shit with fibre, not just tomato sauce and spaghetti or some shit.
I don't know where you're going to get onions or something so if you wamt something that actually has taste maybe instead of plain tomato paste bring Heinz tomato frito or something.
Or just as many boxes of Joylent as possible.

also healthier than most canned meats I can imagine. I guess corned beef is fine to eat tho.

>$13 for a packet of store brand spaghetti

Which makes me think, why don't you bring a pasta maker and ingredients?

Because when your paychecks are twice that of Southerners and the income tax is in the single digits, you don't really mind.

Okay, so I'd store apples and onions in bulk. You can freeze chopped celery and carrots to make bean stews with meat or such. Apples and Onions also go great with game meat. And you definitely need carbohydrates like noodles and rice, so I'd go with a formula like
noodles = days / 2 * 250g
rice = days / 2 * 200g
If you only want to live of rice and noodles for lunch, increase amounts if you want to have them for breakfast and/or dinner.
