Thread: backcountry meals

I like backcountry. Can't be assed making my own. Yeah it's not a cheap meal, but you're paying for convenience and lack of weight.

The lamb and beef are ok. Cottage pie and mashed potato are good. The porridge is REALLY GOOD surprisingly. Better than I could make with a kitchen.

Stay away from the spag bol the salt levels were insane in the one we tried. There was one other that was really bad too but I can't remember.

I get the sizes where it says they serve two. Even my wife can finish one of those, so you won't be over-full. If you're a small eater you could get away with the single serves.

I had one suggestion for improvement that I passed on to them. The edges of the packs can be surprisingly sharp. When i'm packing them in with so much lightweight gear i'm worried about them ripping a tent or sleeping mat or jacket. I even went to the extent of folding the edges and taping them down one trip where they got packed in among stuff I really didn't want them cutting.
