Dry Salami keep s pretty well without refrigeration. I've used it backpacking for years. Be aware that it does have a very strong scent, which may attract bears and other critters, while repelling your friends!

These would be divided between the study groups such that each of the four odor-proof bags would have a matched ziplock control containing a similar type and quantity of scent.
