The Best Hiking Gift Bundle is great for a hiker to have in the back seat of the car because it grants them the freedom to eat a hot, delicious meal anywhere they are, whenever the mood strikes. In this bundle you’ll find a hearty Pad Thai or Three Sisters Stew when you’re looking for a nutritionally balanced, great tasting meal to wind down with at the end of the day.

Keep cool and hydrated with the Eco Vessel Insulated Water Bottle. It will keep liquids cold for up to 36 hours and keep hot liquids hot for up to 8 hours thanks to Trimax triple insulation technology. Made in Boulder, Colorado with stainless steel, this bottle is BPA free, sweat free, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. The laser engraved design will never fade on this high quality, durable, black surface. Inside you’ll find a removable strainer for tea, fruit, or ice and with the multi-lid opening, you can sip comfortably on your favorite beverage knowing you will get more in your mouth and less on your shirt.

Let this spoon save you from the pain of letting that last bite of your favorite dehydrated meal go to waste because you couldn’t quite reach the corners of the bag. This spoon measures 9.9 inches long, 2 inches wide, and weighs just 1 ounce. The silicone tip is ideal for scraping the corners of the Backpackers Pantry bag and holds a perfectly portioned one tablespoon bite. With this Backpackers Pantry Essential Long Handled Spoon, you’ll have a perfectly stirred meal every time without sticking your hands all the way into the bag and making a mess. It’s made by a name you can trust, GSI, so you know that your new spoon will pack light, stand up to the elements, and become your favorite eating utensil.

After a day of outdoor fun, there’s nothing like a warm bowl of cheesy goodness to knock out those hunger pains. This camp-friendly spin on a traditional comfort food might be soy and nut free, but that doesn’t mean it’s free of flavor! Our mac and cheese is a rich, creamy blend of Parmesan, Romano, and Cheddar cheeses that can be prepared in a snap. Just add boiling water, stir it up, and then kick back and relax while the freeze-dried dinner prepares itself.

For this hearty stew, we start with the native American holy-trinity: corn, beans, and squash. Toss in some brown rice and quinoa, and you have a nutritious, protein-packed meal (17 grams per serving) that will fuel all of your adventures at camp and beyond. We never skimp on the spices either — each mouthful will be jam-packed with flavor. “Cooking” your Three Sisters Stew requires boiling water and 15-20 minutes, so you’ll have plenty of time for your favorite camp activities.
