Wild Zora Summit Savory Chicken

We are avid backpackers and this was a great meal. Not only is the food great, the package is lightweight and easy to store. Wild Zora has great products. The food is delicious and healthy. We backpack for several days at a time and Wild Zora is the way to go backpacking. We saved space and weight with the products. After a long day of walking these meals hit the spot. Full review

CampFare Beef Burgundy with Field Vegetables

I occasionally get to test out meals and new gear in our own camping environment. I was asked to review Campfare meals. There were three of us and we brought out three Campfare meals  to eat for one night and ended up using all of these meals in conjunction with each other in order to have a rounded meal (and due to amounts of food in the packaging). This "stew" has great well rounded flavor and is jam packed with veggies and beef. It is definitely our favorite out of the three we tried. The soup… Full review

CampFare Beef Burgundy with Field Vegetables

The beauty of these types of heat-and-serve meals is they're perfect for backcountry excursions, boat trips, car camping, and RV life. All you need is water, a heat source, and a pan or pot large enough to heat the small pouch. Highly recommend this product. First off, these meals taste great. Even if we're away from home and our stocked kitchens, we still want food that is tasty, flavorful, and hot or cold, as the case may be. Specific to this Beef Burgandy with Field Vegetables meal, the burgandy… Full review

Wild Zora Instant Grain-Free Cereal

These instant cereals are a great alternative to the normally sugar heavy options available. If you are fed up with all of the sugar ladened breakfast cereals, then there is no need to look any further. Wild Zora definitely is the niche product that I have never been able to find at the grocery store. Don't get me wrong, all of those breakfast cereals are delicious, but if they're gonna contain as much sugar as a cinnamon roll I'm gonna eat the ladder. At first glance when I opened the box I really… Full review

Butternut Mountain Farm Maple Syrup Pouch

When we are canoe or car camping, we enjoy making pancakes or French toast for breakfast. As Vermonters, "pancake syrup" just doesn't cut it, since we require pure Vermont maple syrup! For years, we sought a safe and spill-proof method for packing small quantities of maple syrup. In the past two years, we have used 1 oz. pouches of pure Vermont maple syrup produced and packaged by a local company, and have found it the easiest, most secure, and most satisfying way to carry this delicious camping… Full review

Wild Zora Summit Savory Chicken

This meal is especially great for camping or for a quick easily prepared meal while on the go. Just add boiling water and wait 10-15 minutes and boom it’s ready. It made for a great meal on my trip. Looking forward to trying their breakfast meals. Will be buying from Wild Zora again soon! Full review

CampFare Chicken Tikka Masala with French Green Lentils

Quicker and way more tasty than dehydrated meals! CampFare's Chicken Tikka Masala is Indian Restaurant good. No joke, it was delicious. It was a chilli like consistency and would be best to eat out of the pouch or in a bowl with a spoon, not spread out across a plate. I was camping with a camp stove and a smaller sauce pan to heat water, not backpacking with my JetBoil. The package is on the larger size so you will need a JetBoil pot large enough to submerge most of the pouch.  Super easy to prepare. Full review
