Several box stores and Amazon sell the Bear Creek Meals for about $3

When I went to AK, we made our own. Bought the different rice/pasta Lipton meals, Bear Creek soups and repackaged. Even repackaged mac and cheese. But we were not backpacking and had a great water source and plenty of fuel for the stove.

Took some dehydrated beef to add, and then supplemented with fish, ptarmigan and caribou.

I am not a fan of Bear Creek, MRE's are horrible, and MH has been eatable. I would like to try some Peak refuel, maybe this fall as I am scheduling a couple of overnight trips in September.

The most recent variety of MREs are pretty decent. Some of them are down-right tasty. There have been big improvements made in the past few years. We eat them about every-other month here in Korea during exercises. I have many cases of them that have been issued and keep them for the zombie apocalypse.

Camofire has a 6 pack today of the Peak Refuel for $45. I decided to try them out based on this thread.

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I'll have to give them another shot. Any favorites that come to mind off the top of your head?

I'm a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy, so keep that in mind when considering my preferences wink

Lasagna is a favourite, as is Stroganoff w/ beef and mushrooms. Chicken breast with mashed potatoes was my favourite, but they discontinued it. The mashed potatoes with gravy and beef is also really good. The Cheesecake desserts are amazing after a few days in the mountains, as well wink

I bought a case of commercial MRE's from Amazon.I think they were about $80 and had pack date on them.Trouble with MRE's is they have too much garbage left after the meal.

My hunting partner and I took a couple of brands to the ANWR on a 10-day DIY hunt. We liked these the best. I bought a couple variety packs of them on Amazon.
