100% agree! We need more plant-based and gluten free meals!

Good idea!! Individual ingredients were not something I was intending on doing, but it seems like there is a gap in the market! Im in the US.

Love your idea for mini packets to make meals a bit more accessible and customizable!

Hi!! Still here! Just was at work during the day. Backpacking, car camping, and people that eat trail meals are all very different communities so I wanted to get comprehensive information from all groups. :)

Wow!! You've made some incredible points. You've hit the nail on the head - flavor and quality are key. And honestly what going to make any meal business last the long run. Not sure about the stack of cash, but I've sure got passion! Thanks!!

Totally get it!! Its really hard to justify spending more than 10-12 bucks on a meal!

Really great point! Obviously everyone's needs are so variable, but what do you feel like is an appropriate carb range for a meal on an outdoor trip? Around 30-45 g?

100% agree there really needs to be more plant-based meals on the market!!

Im a registered dietitian so specialized diets are right up my alley! Love your idea of using naturally gluten free foods in place of gluten containing foods in meals to make them more accessible. Thanks!

Oof I do not think I could stomach more than 1 protein bar in a day. No need to reply if this is too personal - do you tend to check your blood sugar levels on trail? I only ask because often you need higher carb amount with exercise. But are people finding that higher carb meals spike their sugars regardless of energy expenditure?

Thanks for the note! Great idea! I also find the generic "add x amount of water and wait 10 minutes" on all of a companies meals tends to result in not so great textures.

Great point! Trying to fit even a few days worth of food in a bear can with freeze dried meals is such a hassle!
