First off Im not here to dog or put down in anyway this company!~ I saw this company advertised in the Backpacker annual and thought Id give them a try. When I received my order I realized that HALF of what I ordered had a MUST USE (or freeze) date LESS than three weeks away!!! Well hell, I wont even be home to hike in that time frame, let alone most of my hiking starts in July. I contacted the company and they suggested freezing them. Im lucky I recently bought a new chest freezer so I tossed them in there. My point is this, while I dont expect all backpacking foods to last 30 years, less than three weeks isnt acceptable to me. I dont see myself ordering from them again. Tom

Yea, thanks. When you do get a chance to use it, I'd like to know what your thoughts are.
