For road trips, I like to take dry cereal like Crispix and popcorn
(home-made, no microwaved stuff!). But, it sounds like you've got the
"to-go pantry" covered Oh, and maybe some V8?

James might like that; I'd pass. I worry about food safety, and I'm
kind of ignorant about smoked meats, since I hate them -- is smoked
turkey basically stable at room temperature for a day, or should we
pack it in a cooler?
