Pierogi Pouch: A Spin on this Traditional Polish Dish

Introducing our newest backpacking meal for 2025: Pierogi Pouch. Inspired by the classic Polish dish, this comforting one-pot meal is packed with carbohydrates, fat, and protein to keep you full and warm.

We’re Overdue for a Package Redesign

As a proponent of minimalism, our simplistic packaging has always made sense. Its compact size enfolds each meal, leaving no wasted space. Our 7-day backpacking food combo (a total of 22 meal packets) is so efficient for packing that it merely takes up 500 cubic inches (~8 L) of volume in an average 9 to 10 L bear canister.
