It’s Not Just About Food

Blog | August 15, 2022 | Read in 5 minutes

Yes, when you’re out hiking and camping, you want a delicious, healthy, rib-sticking meal to fortify yourself and enhance your experience. But the key word here is “experience,” and eating should only be a small part of your wilderness adventure. On an ideal excursion into the forest, you’ll see things you’ve never seen, smell things… Continue reading Travel Blogs

Slow Down!

November 2, 2022
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… Continue reading Slow Down!

Get the Best From Your Hike

May 20, 2022
You’ve just come off a long, grueling but energizing and awesome hike through some beautiful landscape. Do you really want to chow down on powdered potatoes and mushy fruit?

Beauty of the Roma Tomato

March 1, 2022
Did you ever wonder why we include Roma tomatoes in several of our gourmet hiking meals? Well, we’re happy to solve that mystery for you. Roma tomatoes, for the uneducated, are those oblong fruits—yes, tomatoes are classified as a fruit—with a thick, meaty, drier flesh that cooks down to make ideal, thick sauces and pastes… Continue reading Beauty of the Roma Tomato

Raising the Bar

December 30, 2021
“Um, yeah, it’s good.” That’s a lie and you know it, by the look on the hiker’s face. The eyes are a teensy bit guilty, the smile a little bit fake.

Two Types of Hikers

October 19, 2021
We want you to have the best possible hiking and camping experience. In this case, one size does not fit all. Over the years, we’ve noticed two extremes of forest adventurers. The first type brings everything—a 65-liter backpack loaded with three changes of clothes, a collapsible stool, salt and pepper shakers and maybe even the… Continue reading Two Types of Hikers

Savor Organic

July 21, 2021
Take it from a seasoned wilderness camping/hiking guide who has seen the faces of hikers who have prepared and consumed typical backcountry meals. The look is not one of wonder or delight. It generally ranges from trying-to-appear-satisfied to “That was pretty yucky.” Of course, the super polite and those with no taste buds may even… Continue reading Savor Organic

La Guita, a Great New Product

April 15, 2021
Often, the best new-product ideas are the simplest — such as paper clips, Velcro, weighted blankets, Beanie Babies and Koosh balls, not to mention the Pet Rock. The idea for La Guita began with one simple question: Why can’t campers (or servicemen and women or Boy or Girl Scouts) enjoy quality, gourmet meals when camping… Continue reading La Guita, a Great New Product
