XP, Food Buffs, Meseta, RDR (+50, 150, 250, and maybe 300) and Triboost duration is capped at 120 minutes. Using either of these when their respective buff is over 90 minutes won't work (but using a tier higher will overwrite it).
For gathering dishes, I think you can only have one active at a time, and can't stack. Don't quote me on this part though.
Edit: swapped Buff and Food around

Correct, to a degree; when you go to use a new Gathering Dish, it will automatically override the active one you have, but there are two separate categories* of Gathering Dishes: Gathering Buffs (the ones with the purple pickax on their icon) and Stat Buffs (the ones with boost symbol). You can have both a Gathering Buff and Stat Buff Gathering Dish active at the same time.
Personally, I just use Jerky for that Daily Mission since it just requires 5 Red Meat and 2000 meseta.
*Technically three, but the other one just acts as normal Consumables so they don't count for this ARKS Mission.

Jerky every day. Make a bunch at franca's using red meat and store in your storage.
Yep
Jerky lasts like 30 minutes. You can spend more than that on an expedition if you also harvest/fish, and try to complete client orders. Or if you do the other recommended quests.
Right, all these things last 30 minutes.
The problem comes from when you have a ton of alts you are doing quick dailies on and cycling through them.
Then it's a disaster because you have a dozen different boosters / foods maxed out and you have to figure out what you can make / eat / use to get around this. Jerky is a sound idea until you have 20 characters maxed on the Jerky timer. And the triboost timer. And the exp timer. And the....
@Furious I personally have never maxed on jerky. I don't have a dozen alts though, so I can spend some time with those i have. A last resort more expensive option would be gathering boosters. I do not recommend using those outside of their actual use, but if you are in a pinch, one of those could help you with that last daily if you are maxed on everything else, as none of them last more than 5 minutes.
@Furious Jerky doesn't max. Using a second Jerky will just reset its timer to 30 minutes, even if you still have 30 minutes left from the previous one.
