We offer game-changing next-generation backcountry meals that not only taste great but keep freshness, flavor and sustainability at the forefront of our design.
We provide a FREE suite of online software tools for collaborative trip planning, meal planning, and route finding with an interactive map that extensively covers trails, campgrounds/sites, and wilderness points of interest.
We are trialing our first-to-market, revolutionary “Wilderness Edge” concept this summer near Glacier National Park. The Edge provides onsite self-service gear rental, food and wilderness essentials vending, wifi, and charging stations for backcountry travelers and front country hikers. Our vision for the Edge is to build one in every trail town, recreation destination, and national park in the West, then beyond.

Question 3

What is the RightOnTrek mission?

Accepted Answer

RightOnTrek, founded in 2018, is driven by the desire to remove the barriers that prevent the general population from spending time outdoors recreating and to help people integrate active adventures into their busy lives. RightOnTrek is striving to find more efficient ways to equip people to venture into the wilderness, safely, and to do so sustainably, without leaving a trace.

Question 4

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

Our meals production facility is in Kalispell, MT while our Wilderness Edge gear and meals rental lockers are located in Columbia, Falls, MT.

Question 5

Where did the idea for RightOnTrek come from?

Accepted Answer

RightOnTrek.com was founded by a group of friends and backpacking buddies from Silicon Valley. In 2017, we completed the 211-mile John Muir Trail in the High Sierra. During that epic adventure, we developed a shared dream: to open up similar adventures to millions of people who don’t have the knowledge, experience, or equipment for a multi-day backpacking vacation.

Within the group, we had all the capital and skills to turn that dream into this company. Six months later, in October 2018, the first version of RightOnTrek.com went live. Since then, thousands of people have discovered our site and used the tools to plan their backpacking trips.

Question 6

What is the "Wilderness Edge"?

Accepted Answer

The Edge is awesome! The Edge is a unique concept in backpacking, camping and day hiking gear rentals, as well as food and essentials purchasing. It is an automated locker system that allows outdoor adventurers to reserve gear online or to simply walk up to the "Edge"and rent on the spot. We are trialing this concept at the "Edge" of

Glacier National Park

in Columbia Falls this summer. You can find more details on the Edge by visiting our Glacier page.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

We are always looking for new talented people to join our team! If you are interested in working with us, feel free to reach out to careers@rightontrek.com.

Question 8

Is there a mobile app I can use?

Accepted Answer

We plan to offer a mobile app in the future. Meanwhile, you can use your mobile browser  - there are no limitations on the mobile site.

Question 9

Are RightOnTrek Meals freeze-dried or Dehydrated? What makes them shelf-stable?

Accepted Answer

Our ready-to-cook meals are made up of a combination of  the very best air dried and freeze dried ingredients. Then we create unique blends of the dry ingredients into meals that taste great and cook in ten minutes or less - faster than rehydrating freeze-dried meals in pouches. We use high-barrier packaging that has an oxygen absorber ( or is nitrogen purged ) and heat sealed for 18-month shelf life. Our products are made to fuel your next adventure - not to just sit on the shelf.

Question 10

How do I cook RIghtOnTrek Meals?

Accepted Answer

Our meals aren't meant to be rehydrated with hot water in the bag, so you cook them in the pot just like you would on your stove at home.     Out in the field, you will need a pot and a lightweight portable stove that boils water and simmers on lower heat. Easy-to-follow cooking instructions are printed on every package.

Question 11

What size pot should I use?

Accepted Answer

Pot size depends on how many people you are cooking for.  Our meals come in various sizes, such as 1 person, 2 person, and 4 person, so cooking pot size should match the meal size.  We recommend 1 liter for solo cooking, 1.5 liters for groups of two, and 3.2 liters for groups of four.

Question 12

How much fuel do I need to cook RightOnTrek meals?

Accepted Answer

How much fuel you will need for your trip will depend on three key factors:

How many people in your group?
How many hot meals per day?
Cold winter, cool season, or summer conditions? You can follow this guide for how much ISOBUTANE fuel to bring for a typical backcountry canister stove: * 1 person, summer: 1.25 OZ per day / winter: 2 OZ per day * 3 people, summer: 2.25 OZ per day / winter: 3 OZ per day For example, on a 3-day summer trip with two people eating two hot meals per day, you'd need about 5 OZ of isobutane fuel; equivalent to one tiny fuel canister, or a little less than one medium-size (8oz) fuel. In cold conditions, keep your isobutane canisters warm prior to use to maximize burn time. Here is another helpful link: How much fuel should I carry?"

Question 13

What is the shelf life of your meals?

Accepted Answer

Our meal products have a shelf life of 18 months post manufacturing date. To ensure optimum shelf life over a long period, we recommend storing the meals in dry indoor environment with relatively stable temperatures.

Question 14

Can I burn the bag?

Accepted Answer

Burning our bio-based pouches, if necessary for ease of transport, is just fine. If your meal came with front/back labels, be sure to remove those first. Please do so while taking into account the Leave No Trace principles for low-impact campfires:

follow local and seasonal regulations for permission to have campfires
avoid campfires that will leave burn scars on hard surfaces or large trees
make sure the smoke from your fire does not affect other campers' experience
make sure the fire is 100% out when you leave
pack out any trash that did not burn completely to ash
Our bio-based meal pouches will not off-gas any dioxins or heavy metals in the process, but we encourage you to distance yourself from the smoke.

Question 15

Can I soak or cook your meals in the pouch?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend soaking our meals in the pouches because they are not rated for heat. It is possible to soak our meals in a heat-rated vessel, but it increases the cook time by 200% (or even more at altitude!). While most pouch-soaked, freeze-dried meals are designed to be able to sit on a shelf for decades and then take up  landfill space for millennia, RightOnTrek meal pouches are made of 100% bio-based materials and can be burned in your campfire after use. All RightOnTrek meals also cook in 10 minutes or less, compared to 15 to 35 minutes for soaking freeze-dried meals in pouches. Did you realize that when you rehydrate freeze dried meals in the pouch, the food is being cooked for a second time? Who wants to eat leftovers?  Instead of packing out heavy packaging with leftover goop inside, we recommend trying the active cooking method for a tastier, healthier, and more sustainable backcountry meal experience!

Question 16

What do I need to do differently to cook meals at high altitudes?

Accepted Answer

Our meal products are tested between 3000' and 6000' feet in the wild places of Northwest Montana. For elevations greater than 6000', you may need to add slightly more water and increase cooking times to compensate for the lower boiling temperature. In general, a good rule of thumb is to add 3% more water and cook 30 sec longer for every 1000' elevation above 6000'. That means, for example, if you find yourself ready for a delicious hot meal to enjoy atop the summit of a Colorado 14er, you would add 25% more water and cook 4 minutes longer. Bring more fuel for these trips!

Question 17

Portion sizes: does the 2P really feed two people?  Does the 4P really feed four people?

Accepted Answer

The generous portion sizes of all our meals stand head and shoulders above most competitors. Single-serving dinners range from 500 to 600 kCal each. Our "2P" meals are double the size of single serving, and have 1,000 to 1,200 kCal, with 40 to 60g protein per unit. Likewise, our 4P meals are FOUR TIMES the size of our standard individual serving... you'll definitely want to share!

Question 18

What do I get when I create and order a custom "meal plan" ?

Accepted Answer

When you use our Meal Planner tool and purchase a meal plan, you get ALL of the food you need for the number of days you selected, and it's delivered right to your door. The provisions are packed by day (just how it's organized in the Meal Planner) and the food is customized for your dietary preferences. Breakfast, Lunch, snacks, Dinner, and hot drinks are all included! Each Meal Plan day will have 2,000 to 4,000 calories of food with well-balanced nutrition.

Question 19

How does my meal plan get packaged for shipment?

Accepted Answer

Your Meal Plan contents (meals, snacks, drinks, etc) get packed in lightweight compostable ziplock bags, organized day-by-day, for each person, the same way it's laid out in the Meal Planner tool. We put that all together into one of our FSC-certified, 40% post consumer recycled content boxes, and add a beeswax puck for a smooth, non-stick cooking experience.

Question 20

How do I create a custom meal plan?

Accepted Answer

Meal planning with RightOnTrek is really easy! Go to the Meal Planner and select how many days for your trip and your calorie needs, and we'll be ready to create a wholesome and nutrition menu for you. For your first meal plan, we recommend that you take a few minutes to go through the preferences questionnaire. It is optional, but we'll be able to better tailor your plan if you let us know more about your dietary restrictions and taste preferences. You can go as deep as setting up your detailed nutrition routine for each meal of the day. 
When you're done with preferences, the meal plan is generated for you. You can click any product on the table to learn more about it. Click the "CUSTOMIZE" button atop each day if you are not entirely happy with some of the selections and want to add, replace or remove some products.
If the meal plans looks off in general, you can always click "ADJUST PREFERENCES" on the bottom of the plan, tweak some of your selections, and have it rebuilt for you. Add the Meal Plan to your cart and we’ll send you all this good stuff, organized by day, with no shipping cost.

Question 21

How can I bring RightOnTrek meals on my thru-hike?

Accepted Answer

We love supporting through-hikes and you can get complete provisions with delivery logistics figured out in just a few minutes. To pre-order meals for your re-supply points along your thru-hike, you will need to place each re-supply order separately. Here are instructions to ensure your meals arrive at your re-supply points:

Select your meals from our meal store or create your custom meal plan for a SINGLE re-supply point.
Click on your cart to be taken to the checkout page
Enter the shipping address of your re-supply point. Oftentimes, re-supply points have a specific way the address must be denoted in order to be delivered. Be sure to research your drop locations ahead of time and check the exact shipping address recommended for thru-hikers. If our address fields do not allow for the full format of the address to be entered, please list the address in the "Additional Instructions" section.
Select the date of your estimated arrival at your re-supply point in the "Estimated Arrival" section on the checkout page. Also, denote your estimated arrival date in the "Additional Instructions" section at the bottom of the page.
Go to checkout for the re-supply order
Do this for each of your re-supply points. Each re-supply order will be shipped as a separate order, therefore each must be placed as a separate order.
Alternatively, we've had customers place their entire order ahead of time to be shipped to their homes, and then have family members or friends ship their meals to their re-supply points.

Question 22

How many calories per day do I need? Is "kCal" the same as calories?

Accepted Answer

Yes - kCal is the same measurement as "Calories", the way the FDA mandates food labels.
For adults, the base metabolic burn rate is 1,200 to 1,900 kCal/day, depending on gender, total body mass and fitness level. Then, add 200 to 400 kCal/hr of active hiking time, depending on difficulty, temperature, conditioning, etc.
For example, a typical adult female who is going to be hiking about 10 miles per day might need 2,500 kCal/day. For car camping trips, you might need less than 2,400 kCal per day. For winter hiking, or long-distance hiking where your metabolic rate speeds up, you might need 3,000 kCal per day or more.
Our Meal Planning algorithm is built around providing balanced nutrition for the kCal/day amount you set.

Question 23

How much will all this food weigh? What are typical trail-ready weights for meal plans?

Accepted Answer

We create RightOnTrek Meal Plans from a carefully selected set of provisions (including meals we make in house!) that are very high in nutrient density and come with minimal packaging. A typical meal plan of 2,500 calories per day will have a net weight of about 1 lb, 5 oz and a total weight of about 1 lb 7 oz. If you assembled a similar set of provisions at a typical grocery store, you might be closer to 2.5 lb per day!

Question 24

How does the Meal Planner learn about my food preferences and save them for future orders?

Accepted Answer

Every time you create a meal plan the app saves your dietary and taste preferences in your profile for the next time you're willing to use the Meal Planner again. When you come back to the Meal Planner, feel free to skip to the plan right away!

Question 25

Can the meal planning tool accommodate my specific dietary requirements / restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Meal Planner tool can set you up with a complete meal plan to fit Vegetarian, Vegan, Keto, Dairy-Free, No-Gluten or No-soy diets. No matter what restriction you have, there will still be lots of variety too!

Question 26

Allergies - General

Accepted Answer

Tailoring meal plans to personal dietary preferences is our foremost priority. RightOnTrek has lots of options for different dietary needs and we take extra care to source ingredients that open up more options for our customers. We have a versatile set of meal products that can be filtered to suit most dietary restrictions. However, if you have any severe allergies, please know that we prepare all of our meals in the same facility and while we take great care to clean all equipment between batches, we cannot guarantee zero cross contamination.

Question 27

Are all of the products in the No-Gluten meal plan certified gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

No, unfortunately we cannot provide a complete certified gluten-free meal plan because we produce our own RightOnTrek Backcountry meals in a facility that is not certified as such. Besides the breakfast and dinner meals, the vast majority of other products that will show up in your "No-Gluten" meal plan are indeed certified gluten-free.

Question 28

I'm hiking with my family or group of friends; can I get 2P or 4P hot meals with my Meal Plan to share with the group?

Accepted Answer

For now, we only support 1-person meal plans, and we hope to have family/group meal plans available later in the season. RightOnTrek Meals do come in 2-person and 4-person package sizes, so here are a couple suggested workaround methods:
OPTION 1:

Go ahead and create a meal plan for each of your team members with their taste preferences and calorie needs.
Add each person's meal plan to your cart
When you're working on next persons plan, make sure that you include the same breakfasts and dinners (you might need to do a few swaps).
At the checkout please leave us a comment that you'd prefer 2P/4P packages for your hot meals and we'll try to accommodate your request during fulfillment.
OPTION 2: You can use the Meal Planner to generate the full plans with meals and snacks for your group members. Repeat the same steps as above, but remove all the hot meals. Then, order bigger group meals packages from the store
If you place the orders on the same day, we'll ship them to you in the same box.

Question 29

How can I add a meal plan to my gear rental order?

Accepted Answer

If you want to add a meal plan to your gear rental reservation, feel free to place an order via meal planner. Please choose "LOCAL PICKUP" as a delivery method and mention your gear reservation number in the comment at the checkout. We'll make sure to pack your meals together with your rental gear.

Question 30

How do I change out specific products for others in any given day, or all days, of my meal plan?

Accepted Answer

Now you can see the details of that particular day. 
To change a product, touch the "swap product" icon on the upper right corner of the product icon
Now a menu comes up with all the options of other things, listed by category
Click on a category, then choose from the products listed below.
Select "swap once" to change just this occurrence, or "swap all" to switch out one product for another across all days of your meal plan.
To remove a product, touch the trash can icon on the upper right. This will only remove a single occurrence of this item.

Question 31

How do I add or delete a day in a meal plan?

Accepted Answer

If you want to customize your meal plan, and you like the template that one particular day provides, touch the ""+"" icon to the right of the Day # in the main meal plan view... and, easy as that, scroll over to the right and you'll see the day is added as a new additional day at the end of your meal plan. 
If you want to remove a day, touch the trash can icon also to the right of the Day #. 
Adding or removing days will not impact the contents of any other days. Then, if you do decide to change your preferences, the number of days will remain at the new value.

Question 32

What is the shelf life of Meal Planner products?

Accepted Answer

We assemble meal plans from a carefully selected set of the tastiest, lightest weight, and most nutritious trail-worthy products from a variety of suppliers. We curate a wide selection of items from other small businesses and producers who enjoy the outdoors as much as we do. Most products arrive in our warehouse with shelf lives of 6 months to 2 years.
