I think that when Steve has despaired about ancient milk turning rancid, it's either powdered or an ingredient in a chocolate bar. Weird that there isn't more condensed milk in rations; I wonder if you could make little packets.Condensed milk is pretty shelf-stable. I don't think you'd see it last as long as some of the ancient food he's eaten on the show, but it should generally be good for a few years.
You can use a rock to sink it in the hot part of a hot spring, too. It takes longer and tends not to convert all the milk, but the woods automatically makes everything more tasty.Boiling a sealed can of sweetened condensed milk (Eagle brand if American, Longevity brand from Viet Nam anywhere else in the Pacific Rim) for about 3 hours never letting the water sink below the level of the top of the can turns it into Dulce de Leche, aka the most delicious caramel sweet you've ever tasted in your goddamn LIFE.
