Philip Werner Hikes the TGO Challenge
Packit Gourmet comes through when fuel fails

Philip Werner has become one of the few Americans to journey to Scotland and successfully complete the TGO Challenge. Packit Gourmet traveled along in his pack and, when his fuel canister didn't work out, our no-cook meals saved the day!

..."WernerScotlandNot having cooking gas for the first 4 days of the Challenge was a bit of a hardship, but I managed to get by eating the no-cook dehydrated meals provided by my food sponsor Packit Gourmet. I ate a lot of Cajun Chicken Salad, Energy Nuggets, Banana Pudding and Berry Trifle those first few days and remained quite well fed."...

Nutrition Charts
Nutrition Charts & Calorie Counts
New Easy Ways to View Nutrition


We're all concerned about the nutritional content of our food - so we've put together a handy nutritional chart! 


Our new nutritional chart allows you easily check meal nutrition and choose the meals that work best for you!


Scales

Compare the nutritional content of all of our meals by both the nutrition contained in one serving size and one ounce. Why per ounce? This puts all of our meals on an even playing field!


Don't forget to check out the burning curve!

The last page of our nutrition chart includes a calorie needs chart put together by Backpacker. This will give you a great idea of the number of calories you'll burn on a typical hike.

Typical Man
  • 2,500 at camp
  • +515/hour on a dayhike
  • +620/hour while backpacking
Typical Woman
  • 1,900 at camp
  • +410/hour on a dayhike
  • +490/hour while backpacking
