We sent sample packs with trekkers on two routes: a 4-day trail in the Western Ghats and a 6-day Himalayan trek at altitude. Here's what came back.
Pack Weight: Better Than Expected
Each SnapFuel pack weighs 85–110g — a 3–4x weight reduction versus the equivalent caloric load in whole food. Multiple trekkers were able to carry more meals at the same base weight as their previous setup.
Prep at Altitude
Water boils at lower temperatures at altitude (~90°C at 3,000m). Trekkers found that waiting 10–12 minutes instead of 7 produced fully rehydrated results.
Taste After a Long Day
Mastani Moong and Oh My Rajma received the strongest feedback. Bisi Bele Baath was described as "comfort food at 3,400m." SnapFuel works on the trail — real Indian food for trekkers who want more than synthetic energy bars.
