As someone who has developed nasty reactions to many foods these days due to GI tract complications with IBD amongst other things, I thought my backpacking days were long gone until I found Radix Nutrition! Most foods I can tolerate that provide enough calories I cannot dehydrate safely or at all, and freeze drying meals for hikers like me just isn't accessible. Then I stumbled upon the Radix meals and it has been a total game changer for me. It has given me the opportunity to get my pack out and head out into the backcountry again with confidence, a quality of life for me that I thought was done and dusted. The flavour range is wonderful to my tastebuds, and 3 a day provides almost everything I need for a day on the trail carrying a pack (for some reason I require an extraordinary calorie intake). As others have said, these meals do not give me any stomach or GI issues either, and are a simple meal to eat too...just grab yourself a long titanium spoon for reaching the bottom without messy fingers. Anyway, I cannot thank Radix enough for bringing these products to market, and for Dave at PAST Outdoors taking on the market to supply these meals to hungry hikers like me! I really appreciate it 😎
