Backpacker’s Pantry promotes preparedness, offers meal kits for Emergency Preparedness Month for all diets

Boulder, Colo. (Sept. 25, 2024) — As September marks Emergency Preparedness Month, Backpacker’s Pantry, the family-owned maker of gourmet adventure meals, emphasizes the importance of being ready for unexpected situations with its comprehensive range of emergency meal solutions. Committed to reliability, nutrition, and convenience, the Boulder, Colo.-based company provides essential sustenance to help individuals and families stay prepared for any circumstance.

In 2023, the Federal Emergency Management Agency responded to more than 100 disasters, underscoring the importance of having a well-stocked emergency kit. FEMA recommends ensuring your home, work, and car kits include food, water, and other supplies sufficient to last at least three days.

Backpacker’s Pantry provides a variety of flexible meal kit options tailored to meet diverse needs. The Build Your Own Emergency Meal Kits allow consumers to build personalized kits for three or seven days, choosing from a wide selection of comforting classics and global favorites. For those seeking a more straightforward solution, Pre-Built Meal Kits are available in three-, seven-, or 14-day options, designed with a balanced mix of carbs, proteins, and fats, available in meat, vegan, and vegetarian varieties. Each kit is thoughtfully curated to provide essential nutrients and flavors that help make emergencies more manageable.

This fall, the brand is also proud to announce the launch of the Backcountry Bucket, which will include 24 servings across 12 pouches. This bucket includes two servings each of Peanut Butter Banana & Oatmeal, Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken, Pad Thai, Three Cheese Mac and Cheese, Beef Bolognese, and Santa Fe Rice & Beans with Chicken. Priced at $139.99, the Backcountry Bucket offers a convenient and comprehensive solution for long-term preparedness, blending both meat and vegetable options for a satisfying experience. The bucket will be available on the website first, with retail distribution beginning in 2025.

With a shelf life of up to 10 years, Backpacker’s Pantry freeze-dried meals are an ideal choice for emergency storage. Each meal is packaged in waterproof pouches for easy storage and preparation with just water.
