Freeze dried meals
Ive dealt with a few different firms over the years,being northern haggling or just asking for a deal,is just the norm.On a trip a few weeks back with Ste,he gave me a Bla Band meal to try and it was fantastic so much so i decided to get some more to try
James at Basecamp foods came up trumps and had lots of different flavour Bla Band meals to try,so this wknd i took one along for my tea.Another good thing with this make is no measuring of water you just pour boiling water in upto the correct mark inside
The thing i liked instantly about the Bla Band meals as they have sorted out the "messy fingers" problem.With most meals the pouch are tall so getting the last bits out involves you having to use a long spoon.But Bla Band just solved this real easy....they just turned the pack on its side...hey presto so much easier
So tonights meal was as the pack says Indian chicken stew,so pour water in good stir,make sure to get all corners,then shut it up and wait 10 mins.Some use cosys to keep the food piping hot,i just put it in my down hat or inside my jacket
This one looked appetising and hydrated really well.It was extremely tasty too,once id started it was hard to stop,just what you want after a hard days walk.Ill do a quick review of the rest of the meals as i use them up over the coming months
I have a new favorite freeze dried meal brand !
Excellent. All good to hear Pete. Did try one a while back but they were quite expensive. Seems the price has come down though. I especially like the lower pack. Nowadays, on short trips, I try not to use these type of backpacking meals due to the ongoing cost but for longer trips, space and weight become a serious issue. With that in mind, I reckon these could be the brand for Chrissie and my week long trip in Arctic Sweden in August. Thanks for the advice.
