Sure, you want to hike and camp, but it’s not a race. Slow down! Stop and smell the roses, as they say. Unwind, relax. And after your trek, instead of shoveling in a bland freeze-dried meal, some of which taste suspiciously like space food, try savoring one or more of our gourmet hiking meals. At the risk of burying you in cliches, you only live once—why not wring the best out of your hiking experience—not by running or jogging but by walking slowly enough to see the world around you, to soak in the natural vibes, including the smells and sounds and sights of nature, from the little critters to the majestic trees?
Now you’ve reached your campsite. Don’t settle for a hiking meal that’s just okay or spend an hour digging out all your ingredients and trying to regulate the campfire to cook a perfect, long-time-coming meal. Why not try our delicious Turkey Goulash, made with fresh ingredients, including green chilis, cumin, basil oregano, garlic, onion, Roma tomatoes and, oh, yeah, delectable turkey. In keeping with our slow-down advice, slowly heat up the meal over the campfire. Then dig in and enjoy.
Other selections include our Spicy Chili, teeming with bell peppers, pinto and black beans, carrots, onions, cumin, chili powder, garlic and those scrumptious Roma tomatoes; and, for breakfast, choose Fruity Exploding Oatmeal and/or Bacon Grits. Are you a vegetarian or vegan? Then you’ll appreciate our Vegan Minestrone, made with onions, carrots, zucchini, great northern beans, Roma tomatoes and several taste-enhancing herbs.
Hopefully, you took the trouble to get or be in shape for your wilderness adventure. You packed the right equipment, made sure you wore comfortable shoes and appropriate clothing. So put as much thought into your meals. Don’t let them sit like an anvil in your stomach; let your taste buds rejoice as they celebrate one of our gourmet hiking meals.
