  1. Thoughts and prayers for that dehydrated piece of pumpkin purƩe that fell on the ground.

  2. Could you explain how it's cheaper? It seems like you guys put a lot into cooking, dehydrating, assembling and measuring that 9.95 for a meal doesn't seem like that much when you put so much work into making them. Not me being rude or negative I'm just curious

  3. out door boys eat way better then you, your food is so sad i would hate life. I would do what you do but I would take "pemmican" and make better time

  4. It would be nice to hear about the places you go, and deeper thoughts other than just food and camping gear.

  5. Is this one serving? Or two? Don’t you two eat this together in one pot, so I should assume it’s two servings?

  6. Just a question, ever hangout in Chester California, PCT on one of your hikes? You might have met my brother Mike.

  7. That sounds really good. I love how you two save money with a little patience and creativity.

  8. That serving looks like about half enough for me. But I don't eat high calorie snacks every half hour.

  9. But their book, you definitely won’t be disappointed!!! I purchased for me and as Christmas presents for friends and family!

  10. Ok only seen a few of your shorts from my feed but i have 2 very important questions. Why is there a container with the name of Goku from dragon ball's greatest rival on it? And what is it? Since every sayian is named after a vegetable and vegeta's name comes from the word vegetable this info is very important

  11. I'm curious. Are you guys vegan because of health reasons or are you vegan because it's more shelf stable for long term backpacking?

  12. I find it interesting she pronounced it puree (not purĆ©e) as her name is RenĆ©e, I’ve never in my life heard anyone pronounce it pur-ee

  13. How do you guys add fat back to your meals on the trail while keeping your packs as lightweight as possible for long treks?
