Delicious after perfect quantities!
The meal package was plentiful and the choice of items was good.The only issue was my poor choices. On the next climb I plan to make a different choice for my hot meal. I didn't take into account the additional time for the meal to fully re-hydrate at the higher altitude. Probably with choose macaroni instead of rice for the carbs.
Bring from out of town, ordering the meal package for the 5-day climb was absolutely worth it. There was a great variety in snacks, and I appreciated how much they gave us.
I purchased the food package for the 4-day Rainier trip and it was exactly what I needed. I just came and picked up my stuff. I never felt like I didn't have enough food and the variety was great.
Overall the meal package was great. It saved me a lot of planning time especially when I wasn't sure what was needed. There was plenty of food for the 4 days we were on the mountain and much more. I ended up taking half the bag home with me. There was a wide variety of snacks so no matter the situation there was an option to keep the calories replenished. The sandwiches were great and ready early so no issues with having the food for the hike that day. Two recommendations 1) my package had way too much trail mix and I would have preferred 1/2 of the portion and some other options instead of the other half of the bag. 2) I would have liked a real food option for dinner instead of dehydrated meal. I got sick from eating the Shepards stew dehydrated meal the night of the summit. I would have preferred some pasta salad or other cold meal which didn't add a lot of weight to the pack. Again great service and I would likely us it again.
