How do I use food for the outdoor kitchen, trekking meals and single-ration packs correctly?
Preparing food for outdoor rations is extremely simple. Freeze-drying reduces the individual components to a minimum and they are then packed as a complete portion. As a result, trekking food, much like astronaut food, has a long shelf life and takes up very little space and weight in your pack.
Most of the time, you simply need the amount of boiling water specified on the packet, which is poured into the opened pouch, stirred, and then the pouch is resealed. After a swelling time of a maximum of 10 minutes with hot water – preparations with cold water take longer – the meal is ready to eat straight from the pouch, which can also serve as a food container. Some foods can also be eaten without adding water.
Which outdoor food is right for me?
When traveling, trekking, on expeditions and adventures in hot or cold regions, on mountain tours and at sea, it is advisable to carry at least one ration of trekking food. With these extremely lightweight foods, a nutritious and varied diet is ensured even in the most remote areas or in unforeseen situations. Trekking food eliminates the risk factor of a lack of provisions, even under the heaviest physical strain. A single portion supplies the body with sufficient carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals.
Meals from a pouch: Freeze-dried food is available in various flavors and pack sizes (e.g. “Big Packs”) as breakfast (such as muesli with fruit), main courses (pasta, rice, potato, poultry, fish and meat dishes), soups and stews, desserts and sweet dishes (such as mousse au chocolat, pudding), as well as vegetarian, lactose-free or gluten-free options. These complete meals have a long shelf life without refrigeration and produce very little waste.
Liquid food and mineral drinks in powder form and various flavors only need to be stirred into water and immediately provide new energy.
Single-ration packs or “Einmannpackungen” (EPa’s) of the Bundeswehr in various configurations (types) serve as field rations when regular catering cannot be guaranteed. EPa’s provide the body with up to 3,400 kcal per day. Single-ration packs consist of two main meals, one snack, tinned bread, various spreads, jams, drink mixes and other long-life components.
Expert tip:
What can be used as a pot substitute for cooking food?
When it comes to preparing food in the middle of nature, you may occasionally run into a shortage of pots or similar cookware. However, large leaves are often available, for example from banana plants. Once you’ve wrapped the food, these are ideal as a cooking envelope. Of course, you should use several layers if necessary so that the food doesn’t burn. Depending on the properties of the leaves, you can then simply heat or cook the food in the fire or on glowing coals.
Of course, before your trip or tour you should find out which plant species with large leaves are available and which of them are actually non‑toxic.

When choosing the right Bundeswehr tent, the intended use is a key factor in your decision. Users should first ask themselves whether they need a military tent for several people or, for example, prefer a 1-person tent. With us you’ll find a wide selection of Bundeswehr tents for every purpose. Especially on multi-day trekking tours, our 1–2 person tents have proven to be very useful. Thanks to the size of these smart Bundeswehr tents, you benefit not only from a smaller pack size but also from low weight. You’ll also find spacious 3–5 person tents that offer plenty of room for the whole family on longer trips. Here you can also choose between different interior layouts: if you prefer more privacy, you can choose between a shared sleeping area and separate sleeping compartments. Such Bundeswehr tents with separate sleeping areas are usually equipped with a spacious inner tent that connects the individual sleeping compartments. Finally, ASMC also caters to those looking for a spacious large tent for bigger groups. Thanks to their exceptional weather resistance and ample interior space, these military tents are the ideal companion for camping trips with several travelers. For pitching and striking the tent, a sturdy knife such as a fixed-blade knife or a one-hand knife is indispensable – a good knife is a versatile tool that should be part of every camping kit. Whether you’re shortening rope, whittling an improvised tent pole or simply opening the tent packaging – a good knife is a versatile tool that should be part of every camping kit.
