Notes: Some of my favorite meals have come from Next Mile Meals out of Bend Oregon, so I was very excited to take this meal out on a day hike so I could have a nice warm lunch during a cold November hike. I like that these meals only take a minimal amount of water and time to rehydrate, however, the sauce was a little watery and the only thing you notice texture wise is the chunks of chicken. This is a keto friendly meal but it is one of the few times I have wished a backpacking meal contained rice. Despite its 22% of the daily dose of sodium, I’d say it still needed a solid pinch to be a bit more palatable.

May the miles you hike be filled with wonder and the glasses you raise be filled with whiskey. Cheers!
