Thread: backcountry meals

That is a very good deal there Gibo.

Our bulk buy deal is about that cost isn't it?

The serve 5s are almost too big. Guess ok if you have someone to share them with.

The Backcountry one? 1 serve is $5.95 + GST. 2 serve is $8.80 + GST, 5 serve is $19.95 + GST. So he's got a great deal. Check the expiry dates!! .

By the way nobody seems to man that Backcountry bulk buy thread. I ended up having to email them direct and say I was a member here to get the order form.

Try Absolute Wilderness from Nelson. A bit more expensive than B/Country but kilojoules to weight ratios are much better and it actually tastes like food. I used to swear by B/country food but it gets old quick. I'll still use it but prefer Absolute Wilderness stuff.

Another for the Absolute Wilderness, the portion sizes might be a bit small for some but they're bang on for me and I managed to get through ten days of them without ending up hating them. Struggle with the Backcountry meals these days, something about them isn't quite right, a weird generic flavouring or something. Will give the Kawekas a nudge one of these days.

If I ask the same question to Dundee, the answer would probably be Watties

Was actually quite nice

As above I think some of them actually taste bloody good (texture could be better tho)
The mashed spud is awesome, better than the wife makes for sure.

But yes some of them taste terrible like cardboard.

That should have quoted Brads also but I cocked it up.
