I have to say, that Packit Gourmet continues to amaze me with the
tastiness and quality of their dehydrated backpacking meals. You owe it
to yourself to try a few of them on your next trip. They’re so good,
that there’s almost no point in trying to make your own.
Another 5 star trip courtesy of Packit Gourmet. This time out
it was the Austintacious Tortilla Soup and the Chicken and Dumplings.
Both were fabulous. Not only are their meals fantastic but pricewise -
even with shipping factored in - it is cheaper than pretty much any
other prepackaged option. I've had great customer service from this
company and wont hesitate to buy from them again. Also, the one servings
were *more* than enough for me even at the end of a 16 mile day.
My daughter Genie and I have tried many types of meals and both think there is none better than Packit Gourmet. Everything from drinks to deserts and everything tastes great. The chicken tortilla soup rates #1 with us. Nothing better than sitting around the fire at night and having a cup of this soup!

I read the article (in Backpacker Magazine) and that prompted me to try your food. I just got
back from camping this weekend with my dogs and used your food for
every meal. I loved it - as a matter a fact now that I am home I just
made the pasta salad - wonderful! A couple of my fellow campers tried
it and also liked it! I would definitely make this a must in my pack!
My kids and I were in the Grand Canyon for 5 days in May and tried for
the first time..... It was the best I have ever eaten on the trail. I am
sure that the more that I use it the better I will get at cooking it
too. The Hot Lava cupcakes were the bomb. The tortilla soup and Diner
eggs were also incredible. We had 8 or 9 meals as well as desserts and
sides and I will be eating them all again as we go out again in So.CA
for the 4th of July. I am a customer for life.
We just returned from a two-week trip to southern Utah, including a 6-day backpack down the Paria River Canyon (and) I wanted to tell you how absolutely delighted we were with Packit Gourmet. We sang your praises to all folks we met on the trail and think we converted a few. (HINT: tell folks to write your website address on a piece of paper and get others to photograph for reference off the trail. They'll remember when they review their photos.)
General Delivery to Kanab, Utah was flawless. And the opening of the package at a little restaurant was like Christmas morning in late April! On the trail we swooned over the chicken salad on our fifth day (especially the Mesquite). Eggs with sausage bits on English muffins were a decadent breakfast one lazy morning. Chocolate Fudge Sauce squeezed onto dried fruit at the top of Observation Point, Zion, made all around us jealous.

I ordered several things from Packit Gourmet prior to my Aug. trip. The shipping was very quick and the quality of the items was excellent. Everything was in quality packaging and tasted great. So, I'd definitely say that they are worth checking out.
I've been using Packit Gourmet for my trail meals for over a year, and
you all are awesome. Your meals are so great, and you think of
everything we need to make a great meal. So far, we've taken Packit
Gourmet meals to Rocky Mountain, Aches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef,
Bryce Canyon, and Big Bend NPs, and our next trip will be to the Grand
Canyon. Thanks so much for your attention to detail.

Holy cow. They do an IMPRESSIVE job! The meals? They contain EVERYTHING you could need, even including biodegradable towelettes! Their packaging is a 10 star job. … So yes, this is a company I would recommend without issues.
I've been backpacking for over 40 years now and have tried every variety of backpacking food and many preparation methods. Your products have to be the best tasting meals I have ever had. Even fresh meal preparation is not as tasty. You have a convert. I now look forward to my next trip along with your many offerings.

A few months ago I placed an order for a weekend backpacking trip through the smokies with my wife. I wanted to let you know how thoroughly pleased we both were with your products. We felt like we ate as well or better on the trail as we do at home. Everything we ordered was outstanding, satisfying, and of appropriate portion size for two hungry hikers. This was my wife's first backpacking trip, and I think she thoroughly enjoyed herself (much to her own surprise!). I'm sure a good part of that was due to the great food! Thanks for putting such a wonderful product out there for us campers.

I discovered Packit Gourmet sometime last spring and put in an order
for my summer food supply after reading some very positive reviews of
their meals. Last year’s (best of) list included Enertia Trailfoods which I still
do like, but I found myself getting a bit burned out on their stuff
even though I still enjoy it far more than other backpacking food.
Packit Gourmet offered some variety and interesting options that I
hadn’t seen before so I eagerly tried it out, ordering several
different types of meals. The first thing I tried was
their Austintacious Tortilla Soup, and it was so good upon arriving
home from that trip I immediately ordered more. I’ve gone through many
other of their offerings and I have yet to find something that isn’t
yummy. I can’t believe I’d say this about any kind of backpacking food,
but I swear I could eat their meals at home for regular dinner and be
perfectly happy and satisfied.
Really like your products. I wish I would have found you while I was deployed. I tell everybody I know that is headed overseas about your site so they can get those little touches to make mass produced food from the dining hall taste a lot better.

We tried out the many beans salad and the cheese spread today.
Impressive! Never before has any prepackaged food tasted better than
what I've made myself. Great job! Just put in another order. Yummy!
This summer I’ve been experimenting with meals from Packit Gourmet on the trail. They are without doubt the tastiest commercially available backpacking food I’ve ever had.
I believe in giving credit where credit is due. Great place to find all those little things you KNOW are out there but you just don't wanna do all the running to 12 different places to get 'em. The products I ordered look great and your shipping was very fast. Thank you for the "little something extra" in my order. Little things like that go along way!

You are awesome. Thanks for putting my order together on a Saturday and shipping it. You give a whole new meaning to customer service.

I was quite impressed with Packit's service - both in the shipping but also in the customer service that Sarah, one of the owners, gave me. She helped me over the phone and via email in avoiding the couple items that had artificial colors and found substitutes for them.
I love Packit Gourmet freeze dried components. I did lots of freezer
bag combos for my last trip and they were better than any of the ready
made backpacker freeze dried stuff. I felt like I was getting the
veggies I miss in my everyday life…and theirs taste good when they are
reconstituted. My base for several of these mixed up combos was whole
wheat couscous and I used their freeze dried chicken, beef, or cheese
for a protein source. A few spices built a little variety in each meal.
We have tried several of the Packit Gourmet Meals including the Tortilla Soup, Flaquities, All-American Burger Wrap and Many Bean Salad. All were excellent and with the exception of the Flaquities easy to prepare. Surpasses all other freeze dried food I've tried.
