🇨🇦 New on the shelf: Two Canadian backpacking meal brands have arrived! 🍽️🥾
Your backcountry menu just got a serious upgrade.
We’re excited to welcome SLY Foods and Backcountry Gourmet to the meal wall at Valhalla Pure Outfitters Nanaimo—two Canadian brands raising the bar for freeze-dried meals.
🍁 SLY Foods (Quebec) crafts gourmet, 100% plant-based freeze-dried meals made with real ingredients. Their recipes are fully cooked before freeze-drying to preserve flavour, texture, and nutrition, resulting in hearty meals that don’t taste like typical backpacking food.
🏔️ Backcountry Gourmet (Revelstoke, BC) is built by professional chefs and outdoor enthusiasts who believe camp meals should be just as satisfying as the adventure itself. Their focus is on high-quality ingredients, transparent recipes, and big flavour—whether you’re backpacking, bikepacking, camping, or paddling.
Whether you’re gearing up for an overnight on the Juan de Fuca, a multi-day alpine mission, or just want an easy meal at camp, we’ve got plenty of new options waiting for you.
Stop by the store to check out the full selection and let us know which one you’re taking on your next adventure! 🏕️
