I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

I have not tried their meals. But I do like the Beef Crumble or Beef Side pack. I add 1/3 of the small zip closable package to Beef Ramon noodles from the grocery store. They add texture and interest to instant noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. The zip closable package can be spread out across multiple meals. The chicken side pack was very bland in instant rice chicken.

I purchased a handfull of meals from them. Jumbalaya, Cajun Chicken, Ginger Chicken and a few more. I must say there is a lot of food in that pouch, but that's the only positive. The food is awful. All three I tried were bland, and if you were blindfolded, you would have no clue you were eating Jumbalaya, or anything else for that matter. Two of the three people who tried the Ginger Chicken and Szechuan Chicken complained of stomach issues the rest of the night (I felt fine). Furthermore, after my third awful meal, I left a review stating such on the Trailtopia web site (this would have been early January 2022). I received a response stating they would review my comments and then post it. My review was honest and not disrespectful. As of March 22, 2022, my review has not been posted to their website. All that is there are a couple 5 star reviews. This is shady at best. I still have a handful of meals if anyone wants to take them off my hands. I'll sell them dirt cheap!
