TASTE THE DIFFERENCE Good To-Go meals are different from freeze dried meals, mre's and other camping meals because we cook ours traditionally, from scratch, and then make them shelf-stable simply by removing the bulk of the water.

The result is a meal made from clean ingredients (that you can actually pronounce) that has the taste and texture of homemade, to be enjoyed wherever your adventures may take you.

GET CREATIVE While Good To-Go meals are DELICIOUS on their own, they're also great paired with other ingredients. Whether you're at camp cooking for a group, or just looking to include some fresh ingredients or added protein, consider using our meals as a base and experimenting with your recipes! It could be as simple as rolling it up in a tortilla, or as elaborate as a sit-down meal complete with a beer or wine pairing.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many calories does the meal contain
Answer:	Backpacker's Pantry changed their estimates in 2018. Unfortunately, they meal specific, now. Most Backpacker's Pantry meals made in 2017 and later have an estimated 10 year shelf life. Those with high fat content are less, 5-7 years. Those that contain dairy are estimated to last even shorter still, 3-5 years. There's a chart on BP's website. BP's target market is backpackers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Shelf life of "several years" is satisfactory for that market. If you are looking to maximize storage life I'd suggest looking to Mountain House. The shelf life of their meals is usually the best for each menu item.
Question:	Is this meal Gluten Free
Answer:	Mine arrived with the tags attached and no issues.
Question:	How can one know the due date of this meals. Meaning for how long the food will be good for eating in the original closed packaging
Answer:	They fit pretty true to size so whatever you normally would wear. I'm 5'6" & 140lb & got the medium.They fit great. They also stretch.
Question:	Does anyone know what the ingredients are for this? Does it have cream or butter
Answer:	Havent you always had to order tall? Same here. Tall.

How it all got started...

"Wild Zora started from a family need. I was experiencing sugar crashes, my husband preferred to eat gluten-free, and my kids needed a healthy snack that also tasted good. So beginning in 2014, I created the Original Meat and Veggie Bar and as my family's appetites continued to grow, so did my exploration for more healthy snacking options, both at home and on-the-go.” -Zora

TASTE THE DIFFERENCE Good To-Go meals are different from freeze dried meals, mre's and other camping meals because we cook ours traditionally, from scratch, and then make them shelf-stable simply by removing the bulk of the water. There's no need for added preservatives, chemicals or an abundance of added sodium. The result is a meal made from clean ingredients (that you can actually pronounce) that has the taste and texture of homemade, to be enjoyed wherever your adventures may take you.

GET CREATIVE While Good To-Go meals are DELICIOUS on their own, they're also great paired with other ingredients. Whether you're at camp cooking for a group, or just looking to include some fresh ingredients or added protein, consider using our meals as a base and experimenting with your recipes! It could be as simple as rolling it up in a tortilla, or as elaborate as a sit-down meal complete with a beer or wine pairing.
