For those carnivores out there trying to find a backpacking meal…this is it. It might not be the most amazing thing you eat, but it’s quick, easy and won’t upset the stomach. I ate these for 4 nights of my 8 day pack trip (had the beef tacos for the other half) and was perfectly satisfied. I recommend waiting the full 10min if not a little longer since they are thicker chucks of meat. It’s not a meal you will brag about but it does the job. If you have gut issues with most dehydrated meals or you typically eat very clean this brand is for you. When I’m not out on multi day pack trips I follow a strict carnivore diet. This company is the only one I could find who made meals as close to my way of eating. It was a big relief to have a meal that wouldn’t upset my gut for 8 days.

I was a bit skeptical of the dehydrated beef. But, with the Mayo added, I found this to have a delightful flavor. The beef was chewy, but, with a set of good teeth, the meal was very satisfying.

Despite not getting my water boiling hot (which resulted in not fully rehydrated meat in the center), this was delicious! I didn’t know freeze dried beef could reconstitute to meat that almost looks like it was fresh sliced and cooked. I put the mayonnaise and mustard packets (both delicious in their own right) right in the bag and gobbled it up. Even the veggies looked and tasted amazing, though they were a bit sparse- more like a condiment to compliment the meat and not a large serving of veggies like I would do at home. I thought that 50 grams of protein would be too much at once, but my stomach said it felt perfect.

If I could give it zero stars I would. It was so disgusting I had to dump it out, and I was on trail and very hungry. I’ll

The meat remained very hard and did not taste good even tho used boiling water and tripled the recommended time.
