Pinnacle Foods
Pinnacle Foods is still the best backpacking meal brand I’ve ever found, and I keep coming back to them after trying other options. They’re expensive, but if you’re already paying outfitters for mediocre meals, spending a little more for something truly satisfying is worth it.
You'll be taken to Bit to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Consistently great flavors (everything I’ve tried has been a banger)
- +More satisfying than typical store-bought backpacking meals
- +Good options including high-protein meals
Cons
- -Expensive (often around $18 per meal)
