Boulder, Colo. (Sept. 25, 2024) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – 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.

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.
