Anybody tried Wild Society meals? I couldn’t find any info via Rokslide search and it appears to be a relatively new brand offering meals after starting with coffee. A comparison of the Beef Stroganoff between WS and Peak Refuel shows less sodium and more protein in the WS bag. Same price point.

Any experience/opinions good, bad or otherwise?

I ordered a half dozen different meals to give them a try. Will report back.

Ordered a couple myself. We'll see if they're any good.
Looking forward to your opinions and reviews. Thanks.
I was tempted when I saw them but had just spent all my funds and have some extra meals already. It will be nice to know if I should keep them on my radar as an option.

Tried te fajitas last night, prepared according to the instructions and it came out waaaaaaaaaaay to dry. Seems like the flavor would be good if it wasn't super dry.

Going to try a different meal tonight and I'm going to add at least 25% more water than called for and see how that goes.

I tried the chicken pad Thai and the bulgogi. Both were very good. I ended up adding a little siracha to both to give it some kick. But, the taste was good without.

I didn’t have the dry problem that Weiser had. Mine was spot on. But, I definitely wouldn’t put any less water than called for. A little more wouldn’t have hurt.

Overall, very encouraged and looking forward to the other flavors I got. Will report back on those.

Tried two more of the WS meals. First was the beef stroganoff. It was OK. Not great. Not any better than other beef stroganoffs on the market. The second was their steak fajitas and rice. After Weiser's experience above, I added some extra water. Nearly an extra 1/4 cup. That ended up being perfect. The meal was great. This one will be going with me on my Wyoming backpacking trip in a few weeks.

After trying 4 Wild Society meals so far, I am pretty impressed. They will definitely be in my regular rotation going forward.

Anyone try the Penne Alla Vodka? I saw PNWild say it was crazy good but wanted some other feedback! Looks like they may be worth trying though. I'd like to do a B&G and Bfast Skillet taste test between them and PEAK but at ~15 a meal I'll let someone else do it!!

Tried it today. Was pretty damn good. Used a cup of water and texture was perfect

Getting around to stocking some freeze dried meals in the back country larder and decided to add some Wild Society options. Everybody everywhere seems to be sold out and the original supplier that I discovered them at lists them as discontinued.
Anybody know if their meals have been dropped from production?

I did get a reply direct from Wild Society:

Are you planning to offer freeze dried meals any longer? When will they be available again?

Yes we are! We opened our own manufacturing facility and are in the final stages of getting approvals from regulatory

They didn’t give a timeline other than to say “ look for them to be available sooon”

I've tasted their food. It's not bad, but I wouldn't say it's the best food in the world. This is what you need to not starve to death
