Backpacker's Pantry Freeze Dried Food
In 1951, an ill-fated trip involving heavy canned foods, a long mountain trek, and a group of increasingly demoralized Girl Scouts forever altered the course of what was thought to be possible in outdoor dining. The troop leader went home more inspired than disheartened, and was motivated to create a lighter, more manageable, just-add-water option for outdoor adventurers. She succeeded in that mission, and Dri-Lite Foods became the first adventure food on the market. Anne Benedict started dehydrating meals in her garage, but quickly realized a growing demand for lightweight meals designed for the backcountry. Twenty years later, her small outdoor company was purchased by Ronald Smith after a backpacking trip in the Sierras sparked his passion for the outdoors. With the help of a small but dedicated team, Ronald transformed the Girl Scouts' inspired idea into one of the world’s foremost producers of freeze-dried meals.
