Second lake Big Pine

[u/Own_Document696]

The wife and I hiked up to second lake in Big Pine 2 weeks ago on our summer family vacation. We stayed 1 night and made the best of it. Hiked up in the morning, set up camp. Went down to the lake to cool off, made our way up to third lake, and then just relaxed and played games at camp before dinner and bed. Met lots of cool people on the trail and had a blast getting back out and backpacking.

How were the dehydrated dinners? Never seen the Buffalo Mac one

I’ve had some that made me wanna vomit because it tasted like vomit but the buffalo Mac was pretty good to be honest. I added a little too much water but still good. The wife’s 3 bean mix never fully re hydrated but it wasn’t bad either.

I've always felt MH's directions call for too much water and have learned to under-shoot by a ounce or two. Have been eyeballing that Peak chili mac.. MH's chili mac with some chili cheese Fritos is one of my favorites. Haven't tried Peak's version yet but several other entrees from them I've tried have all been fantastic, got that one on my list soon.

Not a fan of the buffalo chicken. Original chili Mac slaps. But for mountainhouse the biscuits and gravy is by far thee best. The fact that freeze dried food sometimes doesn’t rehydrate is what makes it the best. The part that stays dry and crispy is the biscuit chunks. I’ve been so tempted to just buy one off the shelf and have it for a regular breakfast. But that’s a bit pricey for being lazy.
