You Know the Feeling… You paddle the last stretch into camp just as the sun drops low over the water - best spot you could've picked. You pull the canoe up, get your stove going, and let the stillness take over while the water heats. As soon as the hot water hits the pouch, you can smell the sage, cloves, and paprika. The cheese melts throughout the pork and jicama, and five minutes later, you're taking a bite of your favorite skillet with crunchy jicama and real pork. Fire crackling, the whole week's stress is gone before the first stars show up.

How It Helps On Trail: Feasts are built around the benefits of low carb eating. Protein & fats digest more consistently, giving you steady, sustained energy while feeling full and energized. Skip the blood sugar spike and crash from carb-heavy meals that leave your stomach unhappy.
Who It's For: Backcountry travelers who take food as seriously as gear: thru-hikers, weekend warriors, paddlers, ski tourers, hunters, campers. We’re also here for those needing convenient and nutritious meals while traveling or working. Feasts are perfect for anyone eating low-carb, managing diabetes, or just done with trail meals that disappoint.
Why We Built This: Flat Out Feasts were developed by our founder, Lisa, after she was hospitalized and diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes partway through a 4,270km Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike. She couldn't find a single backcountry meal that wouldn't send her blood sugar into a rollercoaster, so she created her own. Made in Edmonton, Alberta. 🍁

What Makes Our Freeze-Dried Backcountry Meals Different?

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. Because adventure shouldn't be limited by what you eat - it should be powered by it.
