Just got back from a 4th of July weekend trip and so this is perfect timing to inspire my next adventure!

@TheHungryHiker 3 дня назад

Yay! Glad this was helpful!

Thanks again for the great reviews! Especially the biscuits and gravy!

@TheHungryHiker 3 дня назад

You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching!

I like that you’ve added more of the lesser known brands. I always find I’m a bit apprehensive to try them.

@TheHungryHiker 3 дня назад

My husband bought me the pinnacle foods jalapeño chedder biscuits and gravy meal. I'm looking forward to eating it tonight at the trailhead before I start the JMT

@TheHungryHiker 5 дней назад

Nice!!! And this one will taste even better because food just tastes better when you’re on trail.

@randomrachel1480 5 дней назад

Your reaction to the Pinnacle Foods Biscuits & Gravy made me smile and giggle. I loved it. 😄 I must have this one when I’m out on trail soon. XOXO

@TheHungryHiker 5 дней назад

Good subject matter. Love to see more taate tests.

@kristalann1973 3 дня назад

Another great review! I also rate the biscuits and gravy category the same way! The other Pinnacle Foods meal I’ve greatly enjoyed is the Herb Roasted Chicken with white cheddar biscuit dumplings😋 Since these meals are quite expensive I’m curious if you actually eat these meals after the taste tests?

@TheHungryHiker 3 дня назад

I’ll have to check that one out. Thanks for the recommendation!

@gailjohnson6670 3 дня назад

@a.ramosakadrumgrl6677 5 дней назад

I’ve tried the Mac & cheese meals and I didn’t like them either. I think the Kraft is best from the grocery store.

@TheHungryHiker 5 дней назад

Agreed!

@adamholbrook2281 4 дня назад

Beef stroganoff is a good one to review in episode 3. Have you had any of the Pack it gourmet? I don't recall see them in any of your videos. They have some good ones. The only thing is a lot or all of them are dehydrated instead of freeze dried, so the shelf life is not as long as the others. BTW- breakfast is good any time of the day!

@TheHungryHiker 3 дня назад

I reviewed Beef Stroganoff in Part 1: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T2NZ0mEx-FQ.htmlsi=glnCXpZk0qebR4od

Omg you made me hungry …yes I agree with pinnacle sausage and gravy. I had before and did not wanted to share it. Thx for the recommendations

@TheHungryHiker 5 дней назад

I couldn’t believe how delicious this one was. 10/10 would get this one again, even with the hefty price tag.

@user-no2ei6dp2q 4 дня назад

For those of you who really appreciate Mac n cheese on the trail, blow off the freeze dried. Get a box of Annie’s,half cube of butter and a packet of albacore. Yes, you’ll have to make it and it will weigh more but so worth it. Also, a major home run is MH chicken and dumplings. Excellent on a cool evening, especially with some Tabasco. CHEERS!!

@TheHungryHiker 3 дня назад

What a great suggestion!

@garyowen9589 5 дней назад

Great reviews! I would like a comparison between freeze-dried meals and grocery store meals.

@TheHungryHiker 5 дней назад

Great idea!

@elliemay3147 4 дня назад

There are sooooo many options for mac & cheese.I like to add Bridgeford beef jerky. They make some with Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce so it's like a bbq mac and cheese....or bacon bits mac and cheese...chicken and broccoli (chicken packet and dried broccoli or packet of cream of broccoli soup) ... sundried tomato and breadcrumb mac and cheese(or mashed potato chips) you can also try making with pearl couscous for a little more protein than most pastas. Possibilities are endless..

@TheHungryHiker 3 дня назад

Great suggestions!

@lizspackman3879 4 дня назад

I’ve had the chicken penne and Thai peanut from Pinnacle, and they are DELICIOUS!

@TheHungryHiker 3 дня назад

I’ll have to try those!

@LivOnTrail 5 дней назад

I am VERY sensitive to spice, it’s almost like an allergy (sometimes too much black pepper makes a meal inedible for me). Seeing how much you liked the Pinnacle Foods Biscuits & Gravy makes me tempted to try it. I have had the Peak Refuel one and do really like that one quite a bit. I might need to stick to what I know and bum a bite of Pinnacle Foods from someone else 😂. Great video!

@TheHungryHiker 3 дня назад

Thanks for watching!

@creedm3040 5 дней назад

Awesome video! Pinnacle foods looked very good. But one serving is $16.00 ! Did I see that right? Goodness! Best!

@TheHungryHiker 5 дней назад

Yes, that price is correct.

@jameshiggins-thomas9617 День назад

Not planning to pour off water ... i wonder how it would rehydrate with less water added 🤔

@TheHungryHiker 10 часов назад

The Peak Refuel meals tend to be spot on with the water required for rehydrating on the package. For everything else, you could get away with using less water.

@thehafricanultralighter4973 5 дней назад

You gotta break up the biscuit lol it’s so much better

@TheHungryHiker 5 дней назад

I thought it was pretty tasty the way it was. Plus, I wanted to make sure I made these meals just as they were recommended on the package for a fair test.

@chelsalkerton 5 дней назад

Any thoughts on freeze drying or dehydrating and trying your own? Thanks for sharing

@TheHungryHiker 5 дней назад

I do both - freeze dry and dehydrate my own food. I’ve even created a few videos here on my channel that feature some of my favorite dehydrated backpacking meal recipes.

@chelsalkerton 5 дней назад

@@TheHungryHiker awesome I’ll check them out :)

@nebc_yukonyeti 3 дня назад

Anyone else try these once & then try to re-create at home with a dehydrator? Some things I find the freeze dried components work better (dairy & some meats) to add to dehydrated items (carbs, veggies).

@TheHungryHiker 10 часов назад

I’ve tried dehydrating beef stroganoff and it was too oily to do it successfully in the dehydrator but it worked in the freeze dryer perfectly. Pasta noodles dehydrate really well in the dehydrator along with fruit and veggies.

@nebc_yukonyeti Час назад

@@TheHungryHiker I’ve purchased freeze dried beef & sour crean powder then added my own cooked/dehydrated pasta, onions etc from home. Way cheaper than the brand names but sometimes it’s also convenience for the win!

@luckyjim51 5 дней назад

It's great to see someone doing the taste test.... the crinkling bags are distracting.

@TheHungryHiker 5 дней назад

Can’t win em all 😂

@Hoobydoobyscooby 4 дня назад

Dang… I knew you had paid a lot for all those but it still shocked me that it was $300 😢. Why’s it gotta be so expensive lol!

@TheHungryHiker 3 дня назад

Because I’m sure these types of meals are expensive to make. This would be a good question for the brands specifically since I don’t have any affiliation with them.

@Topo.On.Trail1 12 дней назад

Ok... hear me out. Shelf2Table freeze dried jalapeño bites? Fyi... breakfast for dinner? (and now I'm craving biscuits and gravy)

@TheHungryHiker 12 дней назад

Ooooohhh!! That could be interesting. I'm always down to have breakfast for dinner.

@anntownsend2630 4 дня назад

I want a part three! I adore these. But also please I beg edit out the mouth eating noises. I want to hear everything you have to say but the chewing is freaking me out.

@TheHungryHiker 3 дня назад

If chewing noises freak you out, then maybe don’t watch a taste testing video? 🤷‍♀️

@fire7side 5 дней назад

10 or 15 dollars for a 300 calorie meal/snack. I'm 6'2" 220.

@TheHungryHiker 3 дня назад

Not sure what your question is.

@fire7side 3 дня назад

@@TheHungryHiker I'd starve to death on those commercial meals. Not a question, just reality.

@candacetoms4927 12 дней назад

You saved me some money with this one! I had a few of those meals on my “want to try” list, and now I can cross them off. But now I want macaroni and cheese for dinner 😋

@TheHungryHiker 11 дней назад

I've been craving Kraft Mac & Cheese ever since I shot this video. I'll have to add some to one of my resupply boxes this summer or pick some up on one of my resupplies in town. :)

@Yamaha38XCRacer 5 дней назад

Don’t forget adding some bacon with that Mac and cheese…bacon bits on trail, fry some fresh bacon at home and add in…anything can be mixed in the famous Mac and cheese..

@TheHungryHiker 5 дней назад

Great suggestion! Adding bacon bits to anything is always a great idea!
