Worth the (Miniscule) Extra Weight

Written on Aug 05, 2014

Low tech, highly efficient item that stabilizes your canister stove for backpacking. Very light weight, but functional...no more tipped over pots just when they're about to reach a full boil.

This item comes along even on day hikes when I want a warm meal...recommended.

Pasta reconstituted well, sauce is tangy rather than sweet. Parmesan cheese packet is a nice touch, but I'll pack some of my own next time.

Light weight and quick prep time are positives, only negative would be that this strikes me as a single portion, not two servings.

My son and I have been testing freeze-dried entrees to prepare for a Spring backpack in the Adks. We tried this one out for lunch in Ramapo County Reservation, NJ.

Thus far our rankings are as follows:

This One's a Keeper Too

Written on Aug 05, 2014

My son and I have been testing freeze-dried entrees to prepare for a Spring backpack in the Adks. We tried this one out for lunch overlooking Greenwood Lake, NY from the Sterling Forest Bare Rock Trail.

The potatoes and beef reconstituted very nicely and the corn added a welcome texture to the meal. Might be a little salty for some, but I added a little pepper and thoroughly enjoyed this one.
