savor it

The path of least resistance isn't for everyone. For those of us who give the backpack "just one more" shakedown at midnight, or climb 7,000 feet for lunch, the grind we put ourselves through for the sake of "fun" isn't only what earns us the reward - it's part of the reward. And we savor every bit of it.

“I was genuinely shocked at how good this is. Ate the Beef Stroganoff after a 12-mile day and it tasted like something I’d order at a restaurant, not exaggerating. My whole crew is converted.”

“Stop settling for bars and trail mix. This is actual food that tastes good. Summits are better when dinner is better.”

Mountaineering • Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken

“My kids actually ask for Mountain House on camping trips now. That alone is worth five stars. We’ve tried all the other brands, nothing else comes close to taste or convenience.”
