Adventures Appetites

So last night while doing my usual after work thing of window shopping, refining lists and getting a few ideas for my better half, I ran into a new item.

Adventures Appetites, a local based company here in Alaska, they pre-pack meals ready to cook, not ready to eat.

What impressed me was the calorie/carb/protein count for an average 7.5oz serving. You simply can't beat a 1400 calorie beef stroganoff coma, big dose of carbs and 50 grams of protein in one serving. Price was $9.00/serving. After viewing a few of the meal cards, it appears that they have a cook time of 10-20 minutes which I do believe may be a bit lengthy for some, however it is nice to have at least 1 solid meal on a trip.

Pros:
Massive cal/carb/proteins, 2-3x that of MH meals
Price per serving, I could live with $9/serving.
Pre-measured, just boil/mix.

Cons:
Cook time
Extended cooking kit, addition of pots.

They look tasty, but perhaps a meal best suited for the air strip while waiting. If weight isn't exactly an issue like on our float hunts, they'd be ideal.

You could always pre-cook them at home then dehydrate. However, if you are doing a float moose hunt or something other than a lightweight hike in, I could see the value. Where is this place located? Might be worth a stop on our way up to fish as a warm meal on the river is always a nice treat.

Edit: Nevermind. "Read the entire post and click the link you moron" I say to myself...

Barney's Sports Chalet. They are considered the novelty hunting shop. There "core" is expensive, lightweight gear for sheep hunters and guides.

Also home of the famous Barney's Frame/Packs.
