Backpacking Food Potluck - Mountaineers Tacoma Program Center

Potluck-style get together where we'll cook freeze dried backpacking food together

  • Adults, All Who Qualify
  • Casual

Take advantage of this opportunity to break out your backpacking stove and get some practice with it before backpacking season starts. Have fun cooking with us tasting a variety of backpacking foods to find the ones you like and reduce the cost of trial and error purchases by sharing pouches potluck style! 

Participants in this activity will be expected to bring freeze dried foods with a serving size of 2 or more. The goal is to try new meals so we encourage you to bring a meal you have not tried.

Each participant should bring at least one freeze dried meal (breakfast or dinner) with a serving size of 2 or more to share with the group. Desserts and electrolyte beverages are optional. So we avoid having several of the same meals, share what you will be bringing by entering your meal at this link: come back for updated link

We will spend some time rating our favorites individually then take a vote for our group favorites to see which meal wins the tastiest breakfast and dinner.
