Back Country Cuisine

Imagine not having to compromise on the quantity, energy, or taste of the food in your backpack during your hiking or hunting trips. At Altapac, we understand that outdoor adventures require you to pack heavily—everything needed to stay safe, warm, and dry, plus food and water.

This makes weight a critical factor. That’s why we offer products from Backcountry Cuisine, a New Zealand brand that has been perfecting the art of lightweight, tasty, and nutritious freeze-dried meals since the 1960s. Their journey involved extensive recipe and technology experimentation to create meals that are not only light but also delicious and nourishing.

Tested in the wildest places around the world, Backcountry Cuisine’s pouches pack the taste of home-cooked New Zealand meals, weighing less than a third of their weight when prepared. Ideal for those long days out in the bush, these meals provide the balanced nutrition essential for maintaining your energy. Choose Backcountry Cuisine for light, fast, and satisfying food that fuels your adventures.
