Another of the companies that I met at the Outdoors show was Beyond the Beaten Track. Their stand showcased a range of wet and dry meals and also a flameless ration heater that really caught my eye, but more on that in a bit. At the show I tried a lamb hot-pot, from their wet meal range. I was really impressed, you wouldn’t know that you were eating “camping food” it tasted better than some of my own cooking! and much less effort than home cooking.
As mentioned I was really impressed by the Flameless Ration Heater, this is effectively a plastic sleeve which you insert the whole wet meal pouch into, add a little water (40ml) and it activates the chemicals within the ration heater to heat your meal. It gets very hot and gives you a piping hot meal within minutes. I think this is a great alternative to carrying dry rations and a stove, if you’re concerned about weight but want great flavour by removing the stove and carrying this you can afford a little more weight on wet rations.
Beyond the Beaten Track sell all their products online with free delivery on orders over £50, they also offer day ration packs, which contain 3 main meals and plenty of drinks and snacks to keep you going for 24 hrs (just check which ones come with a heater / require a stove).
What’s your favourite camping meal?
So that’s the range from Beyond the Beaten Track and their flameless heater, but I want to know what your camping food recommendations are, have you tried the range from Beyond the Beaten Track? If so what’s your favourite meal of theirs, or do you prepare your own homemade camping meals or snacks? Leave a comment and let us know.
