I heard some where that you can do with out a lot of the necessities in life as long as you have a few of the luxuries.
Pickling on a boat should be easy - if you like half sour koshers. Jar pickling would be to resource intensive for a boat. If you know someone that owns a restaurant you can get them in 5 gallon buckets. And use the bucket to make more when you run out. Theres lots of recipes on the web.
hard tack is easy to make - water, flour, salt, bake at 200 for about 4 hours. wrap them in paper towels and store in a paper bag. My longest batch lasted 5 years. They suck but for survival food itll do. I bet soaked in rum for a while before eating may be doabale - havent tried yet.
If you want to carry the most weight for the money try survivalacres.com or something similar they can ship loadouts for up to 10 years. They have over 1800 items that can be mixed and matched. Everything comes in resealable #10 cans From looking at it the weight per person is 500-700 lbs per year of food which is 150 to 200ish cans depending on the meal plan. If you mix in occasional fresh or caught food this can be extended considerably. Storing 400 #10 cans (basically 400 gallons of food) shouldnt be that hard if you dont mind sleeping with food for a while. When I was on submarines we'd load out with food everywhere including bunks,passageways, showers, escape compartments, everywhere but the reactor room. We'd literally eat our way out of the boat.
