    The outdoor company freeze dry meals

    Does anyone know a way of getting meals from The Outdoor company a bit cheaper than what HnF sell them for ($15) I tried one the other week and it was definitely worthy of the extra buck or so over a Backcountry.
    I'm planning an fair few days in the bush this April and the costs stack up (ignoring shooting an animal)

    Outdoor Gourmet Company? Same company as Backcountry ... just rebranded. Torpedo7 or bivouac are the cheapest retailers.

    Absolute wilderness I highly recommend - order off their website. Tastes like food.

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Just spent a small fortune.
    I will take what I have left of the backcountry and be able to compare them.

    Are they a decent serving?

    Tried the Absolute wilderness Stew, it was ok but I wouldn't say it was great.

    I like these as they are the only ones who do FODMAP meals which I am stuck with. They do a high calorie meal for athletes. The other ones are nice but not big enough.
