That's a huge pack! I could take an ice chest and inflatable raft!

Food storage depends on where you go. I often go where there are bear canister requirements. Sometimes I can hang the food to keep the smaller creatures out of it. In locations like the Grand Canyon, you might need a stainless steel mesh bag. It pays to research what kinds of animals there are where you plan to go, and find out if there are rules on how to store food.
