Camping Food / Backpacking Food
We've found that most “paracord people” are interested in many kinds of
outdoor activities including camping, backpacking, horse packing,
fishing, hunting, boating and four-wheeling. We enjoy those activities
ourselves and are always looking for great products to enhance our
adventures. Recently we've focused on easy backpacking meals.
Good food is a critical element, of course. Over the years we've
become very good camp chefs and can grill up excellent steaks and
scrumptious Dutch oven potatoes, plus many other tasty treats.
But
grills are bulky and Dutch ovens heavy. Sometimes, like when we are
backpacking, we want something that tastes good but is simple to prepare
and easy to carry. We've evaluated many products and have selected
Mountain House freeze-dried meals for our own treks. We like them so
well, we have decided to sell them on this website. We've added a
section titled “Camping Food” where we offer a wide selection of
Mountain Hose meals in pouches.
These pouches are wonderful,
light-weight, easy to pack, easy to prepare and very satisfying. Back in
the day, freeze-dried food was barely editable. The science has come
along way over the years. Today, every one of the Mountain House meals
tastes very good. Even the freeze-dried egg products. As a Boy Scout, a
million years ago, I could barely gag down scrambled eggs made from a
dehydrated mix. Now, I'm hard-pressed to tell them from fresh product.
And
preparation is a snap. Heat water. Pour it into a pouch. Close the
pouch and wait a few minutes. Then enjoy. You can eat right out of the
pouch, if you want. Most pouches contain 2-3 servings.
After a
long day on the trail, when your bones ache and your feet are cold, it
is wonderful to be able to sit down to a hot, flavorful meal without
waiting hours for it to cook.
Some of my favorites are:
They really are good.
