Backpack Sheep hunt food help.

There is an old Jason Hairston video of his food pack/system and I mimicked most of that. Heavy on the fats. That took care of most of my snacks and stuff. Pretty good research behind that system and the foods actually taste pretty darn good. Outfitter supplies the Peak or Mountain house I'll have for breakfast and dinner.

Curious if folks have tried gastro gnome out of Bozeman? They came highly recommended from a buddy that through hiked the Colorado trail last summer.

I generally like them. Their meals with Bison get the consistency better than any other brand I've tried as far as the meat rehydrating. Overall I still generally prefer Peak Refuel for the price, flavor and small amounts of water needed to rehydrate but Gastro gnome is a good option as well that I do throw in the mix.

Looking for some recommendations for better freeze dried/dehydrated food, or anything else for that matter, specifically for backpack hunts.

Not a mountainhouse fan, have mostly used Peak but it seems after a few days in the mountains(the more expended I get), I can't stomach eating it, to the point make myself and get sick. Found a few things that help short term, like hot sauce, packing in as much honey roasted pecans as i can to keep intake up. It's never stopped me but i know it's not helping taking in as little as 20% of the calories I'm burning some days.

what ive found with mountain house and peak, peak cogs me and mountain house runs through me lmao.
I end up taking all my peak dinners out of their original packages and add my own spices to it a a bit of oil then vaccum seals them in new packages. this will save about 2lbs and alot of space for a 14day back pack hunt.

And like others have said Ramen noodles when your not feeling peaks.
