This company is really making some killer, game-based, dehydrated meals.

Heather has been featured over at the Journal of Mountain Hunting ( http://journalofmountainhunting.com/ )

Check this out if you want to eat really good in the backcountry.

I'll second this. I've been using these since they first came out. They are expensive, but they are far, far superior to MH etc in terms of nutrient density and calories from Fat. Every single ingredient has a nutrient contribution. They taste pretty dang good, too. I've said it before on here, but the Buckwheat breakfast is the perfect backcountry hunter's breakfast because there is enough carbs to get you up the mountain and enough fat to keep you warm once you get there. I agree that these meals are true "game changers" for the purposes of our backcountry hunting niche market where every ounce counts and athletic performance is paramount.

Are they single serve or for two? I can't find the info on the site.

Faqs on the site says they are single serving.

Taste compared to MH?

 

[Trial153]

Prices are higher then I expected......But maybe worth it for a change. Even if it's just a few meals over the course of the hunt.

the breakfast is 530 cal and the dinners are 600 cal.

MH is not in the same league

How does it compare to Apline Air and Backcountry's pantry. I've been pretty pleased with these companies and they offer lots of gluten free options.

 

[SoCalHunter]

100% organic or wild caught ingredients/

That just about says it all.

Where did you find the nutrition facts?

I like some of the Alpine Aire meals and still use them mixed in with Heather's Choice meals. Still, you have to consider that her meals are >40% fat from calories. On most mainstream brands, you're looking at 10-20% cal from fat at best, but there are a couple of alpine Aire meals that hit ~30% calories from fat.

I asked Heather...she is in the process of getting everything out on the packages. If you email her questions she will get back to you pretty quick.

I tried to buy a few of them to try and they wanted $15 for shipping. Is direct the only way to get them?

Yeah, that's the only way.
