I taste tested, and ranked, the most popular backpacking meal from backpacking food brands! From big brands like Mountain House and Backpacker’s Pantry, to smaller cottage brands like Itacate and Pinnacle Foods, I chose the ten bestselling backpacking meals from each brand to see which one would come out on top. The meals tested include vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and keto options, as well as classic omnivore options as well! Dehydrated backpacking food has a reputation for being overly salty, weird textures, or just plain icky - but some of the food I taste test in this video was stunning delicious, even at home! Which popular backpacking meal is best, and which is worst? Watch the video to see!
