Our Story
Six years ago, I was thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, over 4,000km from Mexico to Canada. But partway through, I was hospitalized because my body was literally starving to death. The diagnosis hit hard: Type 1 diabetes.
Suddenly, every ingredient mattered. My body couldn't produce insulin, turning carbs into a dangerous blood sugar rollercoaster. But every backcountry meal on the market was packed with rice, noodles, and potatoes. Food, which once fueled my freedom, became a barrier to the adventures I cherished.
I decided that if no one else was making truly delicious, low-carb freeze-dried meals, then I would. I set out to prove that high-quality, low-carb nutrition wasn't just possible for the trail - it could be a culinary highlight.
Flat Out Feasts was born, and thousands of adventurers who once felt limited find themselves empowered and reclaiming the joy of eating well in the wild.
Adventure shouldn't be limited by what you eat - it should be powered by it.
What Canadian Adventurers Are Saying
Best Ever Wow, hiking the PCT and had my first flat out feasts dinner. The Cheesy Chicken Casserole blew me away! I have never tasted freeze dried food this good, not even close. Wow again. - Hockeyhiker
Dave Hockey
I'll keep this simple! I've eaten pretty much every freeze dried companies food out there. Some were really bad and a few were exceptional. Then I had the Cheesy Chicken Casserole and can honestly say nothing even compares! It was enough yet I wanted to eat more solely because of the taste! 110% the best freeze dried dinner I have had! Period!!"

Flat Out Feasts has successfully ruined other brands for me and is now my only option when going backcountry camping.

LONGER LASTING ENERGY
All our FEASTS have 10g or less net carbs and are keto-friendly/low-carb. Plus, they're high in protein with 38 to 67g per pouch.
Protein and fats digest slower, so you have more consistent energy for longer, compared to high carb meals that can leave you feeling hungry a few hours later.
REAL FOOD ACTUALLY TASTES GOOD
Unlike dehydrated meals that can turn chewy and lose flavour, freeze-drying preserves the cell structure of every ingredient. So your meal rehydrates the way it was meant to taste as if it was just made fresh. Plus, freeze-dried meals retain the vast majority of their nutritional value - more than other dehydration methods.
We aren't re-packaging dried ingredients. We cook and prepare our meals with quality ingredients and carefully chosen spices, right here in Canada.
ULTRALIGHT & READY IN 5 MINUTES
Just add hot water right into the pouch, and your FEAST is ready in 5 minutes. And no dishes or cleanup! Whether you're hiking, camping, paddling, riding, or exploring the wilderness, our meals are ready when you are.
All FEASTS are in the ultralight category for calories per ounce, so you can go farther while staying lightweight.
1 (REAL) SERVING
Who are they kidding... we all know other meals sold as "2 servings" usually aren't enough to feed 2 hungry people. Our FEASTS are 1 hearty serving, packed with protein and delicious ingredients that will satisfy your 'hiker hunger'.
Our single serving meals often have more calories and protein than other brands' "2 servings" combined. That's true value!
Not keto? Add an instant pasta or rice to make 2 servings without paying a premium for those easy-to-add-ingredients.
