Trader Joe's Pour-Over Coffee Brewer

Ultra light weight coffee in the back country that tastes better than Starbucks. Buy at any local Trader Joes. Pack in as many as you think you'd drink, they're ultralight. Boil 2 cups of water your favorite way. The waterproof packets are filled with ground coffee. The container has a built-in filtration system. Open the "ziplock" style top. Slowly add water. The side tells you how much to add Mild to Strong. Let sit and cool down. If I'm near water I set mine in a stream for a min. Break off… Full review

Good To-Go Granola

Delicious, nutritious meal. Much better tasting than other granola varieties. The pros of taste, prep ease, and nutrition far outweigh any cons. I received this product as a gift for being a past Reviewer of the Month at Trailspace. Taste: This was easily the best tasting prepackaged breakfast I've had to date. It was sweet, nutty, fruity, and hearty all at the same time. The ingredients combined perfectly for my palate. A few of the ingredients are figs, blueberries, almonds, oars, and flax seed.

Trailfoody is a subscription service that provides a variety of healthy, flavorful snacks to fuel outdoor recreation whether it’s hiking, skiing, paddling, fishing, or other fun.

Mountain House Just In Case 5-Day Kit

I first used the product because it was an easy way to get meals on the trail while backpacking. Now, I continue to use them because of the taste and amazing shelf life! As a Ranger with TheDyrt, I sometimes get the chance to try out different products and recently had the opportunity to try out some more Mountain House meals. I've used these freeze dried meals before, and was excited to get some more in to my backpacking closet. When I first started backpacking about 10 years ago I ran to these… Full review

Packit Gourmet Trailside Black Bean and Cheese Burrito

Another affordable, filling, easy to make meal from Packit Gourmet. I haven't had a single thing from them that I've been disappointed with. Always full of flavor without the giant dose of sodium like many competitors. Taste: I was expecting a fairly bland burrito but was pleasantly surprised to find some good flavors hiding inside. Lots of onion, cumin, and garlic pop. I chose to heat it up with some hot sauce I brought along as well as a small packet of sour cream. This was a nice change from… Full review

Packit Gourmet Texas State Fair Chili

This is a staple in my pack now for over a year—hydrates well, tastes almost as good as home cooked chili, and fills the corners without leaving me overstuffed. I haven't found a better dinner entree, except packing in fresh food. I finally decided to review what I consider to be one of the best prepackaged dehydrated meals on the market: Packit Gourmet's Texas State Fair Chili (TSFC from here on). TSFC is easy to prepare, and provides good, satisfying taste and nutrition on the trail. The natural… Full review

Good To-Go Oatmeal

Yummy and different take on a classic backcountry breakfast. We have all eaten our share of oatmeal breakfasts in the backcountry. Many opt for the grocery store bought packets, which aren't necessarily great, and are usually loaded with sugar, and not much else. I have been in the habit of creating my own ziploc oatmeal packets with oats, nuts, cranberries, raisins, and brown sugar, which is decent, but not perfect. Good To-Go has had great success with their tasty dinners, and steps into the breakfast… Full review

Mountain House Lasagna with Meat Sauce Pro-Pak

Easy to make and a very tasty option for long hikes and backpacking trips. It is great because it saves room and weight in your pack. This is a great option for long backpacking trips or even quick camping trips. I got several different entrees of Mountain House meals to test as a Ranger for The Dyrt. It was easy to make and tasted great. I like the Pro-Pak versions. They seem a little light and take up less space. I tried this meal out at a campground in Michigan at Ludington State Park. It is… Full review

Alpine Start Original Blend Instant Coffee

If you’re looking for instant coffee you’ll do well finding Alpine Start. Upmarket of center, Alpine Start offers a boldness, a complexity of flavor not often found outside of the fresh-ground-and-lovingly-brewed set. For those not married to the traditional method of coffee brewing, Alpine Start also allows a greatly reduced base weight and packed size in comparison. Best For: Well, you know—alpinists, apparently. Fast-packers, thru-hikers, college students, and commuters, also. All those… Full review
