I typically cook in the jetboil but those bags look perfect for not getting the pot dirty on multi day adventures. I like to boil deer jerky with my pasta, it plumps back up almost like a really poorly cooked steak. Pretty dang good, could probably add jerky chunks right in your bags if you wanted to.

That’s a good idea.

With long backcountry hunts, you definitely need some protein. You can put some jerky in there, which will hydrate some from the hot water. You can also bring packaged tuna and put it in the meal once its hydrated.

@@kyezek524 on my last hunt, I took pepperoni. It worked really well along with string cheese that I cut up and put in the meals.

@@SClivingOutdoors That's a good idea. I never thought of pepperoni before, which just gave me the idea to put my pronghorn summer sausage in some of my meals this year!

I just found your channel and checking out your videos! I’ll just take some ground venison and dehydrate it and add that to a package of the noodles and rice mixed together and of course trying it at home and adjusting to my liking . I’ve never tried any type of dehydrated meals because of price ✌🏻👍🇺🇸

@@davidfleer5307 thanks for watching. I actually took pepperoni with me on a hunt this spring and it worked great.

Awesome info brother and they looked delicious! I agree I really like some of the name brand meals but it can get pricey if you’re buying them all the time. I’m definitely going to pick some of these meals up and give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching. It works well for me

Good stuff. Never thought about mylar bgs, but I sure did the Knorr dehydrated food.

[@SClivingOutdoors]

I like it. It works well for me

[@Ruger41mag]

I take spam foil packs to go with mine .... cut it up and put in the bag then throw the water in it and enjoy

[@SClivingOutdoors]

I used pepperoni in my most recent trip and it worked great.

I remember you eating those on our elk hunt last year haha you can cook and then dehydrate some lean ground meat and throw that in when packing those meals and you have some easy protein added to the meal too 💪

[@SClivingOutdoors]

I’ve been adding pepperoni and string cheese. It is 👌🏻

Interesting. I struggle putting into many carbs with my DIY meals. I also label the calories on the bag.

Do what works for you 👍🏻
