Wayfayrer DofE Bronze 1 day Camping Food Expedition Pack – 3 MRE Boil in Bag Camping MealsOfficial Food Pouches of the D of E Award Scheme with drawstring carry bag

My daughter liked these. Heavy things but tasted nice she said

Don used them for DoE. He did say the pudding wasn't the best

They all tasted good and it is convenient that you can eat it cold out of the pouch. However portions are on the smaller side, especially after a long day of activity! Would recommend dehydrated meals instead as they are usually lighter and have better portion sizes, even if they are a bit more expensive.

This is a review for the Wayfayrer DofE Ration Expedition Pack Bronze. One of the meals was 'all day breakfast' - see photo. I heated this gently in a pan for about 6 to 8 minutes. It was on a very low heat (the lowest the cooker would go). I think cooking on a camping stove would need careful monitoring to avoid burning the meal. I stirred it every 30 seconds or so for the whole time which helped heat it through fully. The meal held together despite the stirring! The smell during cooking was nice and inviting. Once heated, I transferred to a plate for eating. I was impressed with the taste. The beans provided the majority of the meal followed equally by sausage and omelette. It was filling and went well with a round of bread :-) I would recommend this product and look forward to trying the other meals.

Had the debate abt pot noodles & the like as meals for DofE. Pointed out that those other ‘quick meals’ are empty calories, ie. 500 calories, but very little energy/nutrients. At least with these packs you know they are getting protein, carbs and fats that will help along the way
