We purchased AlpineAire Freeze-Dried meals for a backpacking trip last summer with our two boys and everyone loved the food. Great taste, lots of options for meals. For backpacking food, it tasted gourmet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cannot get any better, September 14, 2009

OK so maybe those are strong words but truthfully, I just finished a season of hiking/camping and ate nothing but these meals (Alpine Aire & Mountain House brands) and they were very fulfilling on all levels. I won't get wordy but I have tried nearly every one they offer including breakfasts (eggs rule!), snacks (OMG blueberries and granola!) and desserts (yes cheesecake and ice cream bars can be enjoyed in the middle of the White Mountains) and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about any one of them. Veggies were better (crisp and flavorful) than canned, frozen, and sometimes, fresh! Easy to prepare and only a bag for trash - carry in, carry out my friends... don't put in the fire what cannot burn ;-]~ Best

3.0 out of 5 stars Expensive way to buy rice, September 2, 2009

I am not overly impressed paying so much for a package loaded with low cost ingredients available at the market: rice, dried potatoes, pasta but little of the protein ingredients that are not readily available. I sampled several packages of freeze-dried dinners and found rice, rice, and more rice.

For short hikes of a few days I take pasta or potatoes, dried cheddar cheese, or cheese and noodles packaged together. A tour through a supermarket will reveal many dry ingredients that are nutritions and tasty. Take the tour and buy what you find - you will save a ton of money and enjoy eating at a fraction of the cost.

Trail Mix, dried fruit, Jello, sugar cubes and tea or coffee. Beef jerky, the list goes on and on.

Now if they would just make us some freeze-dried beer to enjoy after a hot climb...
