Comments about Harmony House Backpacking Kit:

As a backcountry cookbook author and recipe developer I have used nearly every item that Harmony House Foods carries. Simply put their items are some of the best out there.
Their items work both in cold and hot meals. The beans are precooked so only need to be rehydrated to eat. All the vegetable are diced for quick use.
If you like eating a wide range of food and you like good taste get the Backpackers kit. It will last you through many trips, has great shelf life and you will find yourself eating better than ever!

Comments about Harmony House Backpacking Kit:

This product is great. Not only is it light weight and easy to cook, you don't have to use much of it per meal. These pack small and taste great. They spice up every meal. No more tasteless meals just for energy. They even spice up Ramen noodles! Great for long treks. The pack comes with recipes that are really good and easy to make.

Backpacking

Comments about Harmony House Backpacking Kit:

I love that this pack makes backpacking trips ultra light while having variety. The only problem is the claim that you can just cook and eat with no soaking. Eating without soaking makes the digestive tract unhappy. Soaking is a must. With soaking, these vegetables are simply marvelous to have around.

Too much water and fuel needed!

Best Uses

Comments about Harmony House Backpacking Kit:

The advantage of being able to make a variety of meals was what attracted me to this product originally. But the preparation requirements of both water (which means more pumping!) and fuel (even after pre soaking) erased any real advantage as compared to other freeze dried products -- this became apparent on a recent week-long trek in Washington's Enchantments with a 7-person party where I was the only backpacker with Harmony House. Potential customers will note that one must bring their own spices (and I also suggest a dash of olive oil) in making any recipe from this product. One big advantage of this product, however, is the lack of whey products to those with whey allergies/intolerances. So I can neither totally recommend nor condemn this product!

Backpacking Dinner

Comments about Harmony House Backpacking Kit:

My best friend and I split this kit for a 10 day backpacking trip, and loved it. We prepared the meals a head of time by combining ingredients into one of the bags using the provided recipes or our own. You might want to buy rice or noodles and spices. At the end of the trip we still had extra, which we have used for weekend backpacking trips. I probably wouldn't want to use the kit for long trips because I would be too tired to care about a creative meal, but for a 10 day trip and weekend trips the Harmony House pack was awesome.
