Your meals have lots of sauce, am I cooking it wrong?pad
That is by design since we focus on creating basic meals that allow room for added ingredients like the handy tuna packs, chicken, and cut up jerky.

Your packaging is different from most outdoor meals.pad
We design our package to be multi-functional with "Leave No Trace" outdoor ethics in mind. It's re-sealable for other purposes like packing out trash and clear so you can see the food and measure water and it is also a bowl for eating most of our meals!

I add the sauce pack and it takes some stirring to mix, why?pad
Most of our sauces include pure 26% Whole Milk (not non-fat instant) or Butter. We focus on ingredients that add calories and taste good so keep stirring, it's worth it!

The package is so small, is there enough food to fill me up?pad
YES! Our ingredients are primarily dehydrated, not freeze-dried. Dehydrated ingredients shrink as they go through the drying process resulting in a more compact package. This is a big benefit since backpack space is limited.

There is so much aroma, what about bear country?pad
Most of our meals can be prepared in the stand up pouch. Since you seal the zipper to cook, the aroma is greatly reduced compared to a the pan boil option.
