Wise Foods Company Camping Favorites Cook-in-Pouch Freeze Dried Food Kit - Great for Backpacking and Hiking

I've previously bought Mountain House meals to carry on my camping trips but their rise in cost made me look for alternatives. I think these meals are a good value and get the job done when you're on the trail

I purchased this product for emergency use. Can it be used for camping , hiking etc. Yes . Easy to read directions , plenty of tasty choices , can be shared . Cook the packet right in hot water over fire / on stove , no this is not a US Military MRE , but can do for the average joe or outdoorsman and company. Price was reasonable compared to others .

Decent amount of beef nuggets in the beef noodle. Tasty and easy to prep but I prefer mountain house beef stroganoff. I always put less water (reduce by half a cup for the entire readywise package) than the directions state for both the MH brand and this brand because I prefer a thicker consistency. It’s not bad but I’ll stick with the other brand when it’s on sale. Readywise is much more cost effective/calorie if you are looking for a more budget friendly product.

When I ordered the Wise 5 day backpack I took it outside and tried it out, and started eating the food over a period of 6 years. I bought this food pack to put back in the backpack. It's perfect for that. I just started using the whey milk from it today, both on some granola I had and in coffee. It's much better than non-fat milk and both were tasty with the whey milk in it. I used 2 TBLS for 3/4 cup and like that better. This food pack is better because you can put the water right into the package and seal it to rehydrate. I like it as much as Mountain House to tell you the truth. I plan to continue to eat the Wise foods from time to time so they don't get too old.

I followed the instructions to the letter, and the food was watery and bland. It fed me in a hurry, though.

I have ended up buying more and more from Wise Company. The quality you get for the money is incredible. Huge tip when adding water though, most say to add two cups of hot water, i always add half a cup more. This really helps to hydrate everything. The serving sizes are also very accurate. I can eat a pouch to myself, girlfriend can not. I love being able to be full from a dehydrated meal that taste amazing. These are also extremelt light weight and great for backpacking. I highly recommend this over Mountain House

Purchased to have some "emergency" food for snowstorms, all real ingredients! Tried a two year old meal, and it was actually wonderful. Tried every meal now, they are all surprisingly good, even the meals that I didn't think I would like. I find myself occasionally munching on one just because. If you are prepping for the end of the world, or just want some shelf stable food for a temporary emergency, this is a great choice. Also, probably not a bad idea to quickly feed a kid or student something that is not microwaved. My picky eater of a kid eats these with me without a complaint.

Great food, simple directions, awesome for camping!
