Dan, I love that you gave an honest and fair review of this product and was not a sponsor to promote it! I love the concept of a shepherd's pie but would definitely want mine to have some meat with it. Blessings, Rob
Meatless shepherd's pie was a bit strange, but you know that's not really the problem I had with it. Things were so different. For example, usually when we have shepherd's pie it has layers and usually has mashed potatoes. This almost had french fries for the potatoes. It had some really nice spice to it. Overall it was just a bit of a creative way to make something. Very non-traditional. My bigger gripe was the cost. Thanks Rob for leaving a note and watching!
It was pretty good, just a bit expensive. Thanks for watching and leaving a note. I see you have a channel too with some camp cooking. I just headed there now and subscribed. Please keep in touch. Hope to chat again soon!

For some reason I wasn’t notified on this one. Good review Dan, that looks good, glad you reheated it for a proper review on the taste and texture 👍 great video
The alerts are really funky! My list is so weird lately. When I go into my subscriptions, I'll see channels I'm caught up to that show little icons that I'm missing videos. Doesn't make a lot of sense. I think it didn't rehydrate because it was so cold out. Didn't mind heating it up in the canteen cup - had the stuff I needed in order to do that. The flavor was pretty good actually. Thanks for swinging back and watching. I've been trying to reshare newer videos a day after launch on my community tab and sharing highlights on shorts too so that if you miss the alert you have odds of seeing the video pop up somewhere else.
Yah we had quite a large dump. I filmed this while on my November hot tent camping trip. Good news is we haven't had much snow since and we've had a few days of above freezing temps so some snow has melted. Our winter came on suddenly. However after the warming trend we are in, the forecast for next week looks alot colder. Thanks for stopping by!
I always use dehydrated meals when I’m in the woods, for various reasons. The two big reasons are weight and clean up. My tip, make a pouch out of reflectix and place your meal bag inside. When it’s cold outside, it is tremendous for heat retention. You will be shocked at how long it stays hot, which helps rehydrate your meal completely. Still, like others say, it always takes longer than the suggested time. With this method I wait 30 minutes for every meal. Fully hydrated and scorching hot. Thanks for the post. Always enjoyable.
You! I couldn't eat it initially. Too gross and chewy. The partially rehydrated Veggies don't do it for me. It was better after boiling the snot out of it.
YAY to food review!!! Plant-based is always good for me... 22g of protein is pretty good for something so easily prepared! It's a little expensive though but it's a good back-up plan to have in the pack.
Well said. It was quite different than what I'd expect in a Shepherd's Pie but had good flavor after I cooked the Veggies for the extra time on the stove. I'd get it again , but I'd look for some deals. Regular price was a bit steep.

Thank you for reviewing this! I have this product and was going to test it out soon...however, I think it is going in a guest pack for someone else to try. Thank you for the honest review!
It was a really non-traditional take on Shepherd's Pie. I did enjoy the taste though, it had a nice spiciness too it. My bigger gripe was the cost. I have two other meals from this company that we'll likely try and review soon. I think we got a Ukrainian Borscht one that I'm excited to try.
@@DCOutdoors Did sound a little pricy in your market. Picked it up for a fraction of what you paid without doing currency conversions. Did share your channel on my community page and hopefully you will see a few more subscribers coming your way. ALMOST TO 1K...LET"S GOOOOOO!
It really tasted OK. Just the cooking time was a bit longer than advertised (but I'll likely blame the cold) and slightly expensive. But the flavor was OK. Hope you had a nice week. 😊
Thank you John! We had our Canadian Thanksgiving in October. It's a bummer since yesterday was a big Football day and I had to work. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving though!
A bit steep in cost! Maybe $5 more than what I normally see from MH for example. I got a few other of their meals to try so hopefully they're as good. The taste was decent. Have a great weekend brother.
It's definitely pricey compared to some others of your reviews. It did look good though and has plenty of calories. Perfect for a hunting trip! Great review my friend!
It was tasty. I might have been salty because I filmed this when I went for lunch to decide if I was leaving hunting camp or not. Probably in a crabby mood lol
Congratulations on the achievements you have made over the past time. I’m very proud of you. We all acknowledge your efforts. Continue to promote it in the future. Wish you early success!

Whoa! That price, my oh my. Glad you got it on sale. I think I paid $12 for the Hungarian Goulash, and was severely under impressed (not how I wanted to feel after 5 hours on trail). I'm glad to see you had a similarly underwhelming impression haha. For $18 though, I'll stick to some freeze dried peak refuel when I'm feeling extravagant, haha
Absolutely, well said. I understand that these meals will always come as a premium but this one seemed fairly steep. Maybe I was gouged by Atmosphere. I bought two others for the kids and I to try so we'll do a couple other reviews. I know one is Borcht but I can't remember what the other one was. Peak meals are pretty darn good!
Good looking meal Dan! Small portion for the price! When it's cold out and your making freeze dried meals, get ya an insulated bag to help trap the heat. Overall great review my man
Absolutely! I tried to justify it in my head that maybe the higher "quality" is worth the cost? It's also a smaller Canadian company versus something like Mountain House - either way , still a bit costly. A can of vegetable soup from the store would have only been a couple of dollars. Thank you for watching though my friend. Hope you're having a great day!
Really good field test Dan. Yeah, that does seem on the pricey side. I'm with you on breaking out the canteen cup for meals like this. Some of those bag meals need some extra love. Thanks for taking the hit on this one.
A bit pricy. I was also a tad bit crabby ad I filmed this while deciding to stay or go during the hot tent camp. Probably in a bit of a mood lol. It was a tasty meal to be honest once the Veggies were cooked in the cup. Glad I had that as an option. It easily took 10-15 more minutes of simmering to make the Veggies edible. Crunchy hard vegetables aren't for me. I have a few other meals from this company that I look forward to trying. It is cool that they're a smaller Canadian company trying to compete with the bog-boys.
@@DCOutdoors ooooh! That makes sense. Yeah, you weren't in the best mood towards the end of that trip. Pretty cool how it all worked out the next time you went out
A bit pricy indeed. I was probably slightly hard on it since I was in a Grumpy mood. Filmed this one while deciding if I was gonna pack up camp and head home Or not. I'd get this one again, I'd just buy them on some sales. Regular price was fairy steep. What brand did you get?
They seem high priced. I know from watching your other videos the prices seem high. What’s the cheapest brand you purchase? Your face when u took that 1st bite 😂 it definitely looked good👍. Nice review Dan!
By comparison something like Mountain House Spaghetti and Meat Sauce here from Cabela's is about $13-$14 bucks for a similar sized portion. The Nomad Nutrition one definitely has healthier Veggie content but the cost is a lot more. Maybe you're paying a premium for something Canadian and likely made in a smaller facility.
Big fan of Shepard's pie and something we have a lot in this house. Perfect on a real cold day but man that was a real expensive buy, even with the discount. Cheers Alan
You're right Alan ; this stuff was not traditional at all though. It didn't taste like Irish Stew though. I liked the spice in it. However, yes the cost was a lot! Normally Mountain House meals here are like $13-$15.
Love that you can read the ingredient list. The ingredients look good. Not a big fan of the meals that have a laundry list of ingredients of which you cannot even pronounce much less know what it actually is. Bummer that it didn't rehydrate for you , first time around. Thanks for the review
It had good potential no doubt. It possibly didn't rehydrate because it was so cold out. I have another one or two meals from this brand to try out and we'll do more reviews soon! Trying out new meals is always fun!
I think this is the first time I've seen you comment. If you're new here please consider subscribing. And if you've been here a while , I hope to hear from you more often! Thanks.
Well for $18.00 Canadian, man I can buy food for three days. LOL I find that all the name brand Backpacking meals are so over priced. It's going to get worse with everything that's going on here in this world. I think I'll keep making my own dehydrated meals for now. Good review Dan.
Yah, I can eat alot of Ramen and canned food for $18. That's what held me back too. A very out of the box take on Shepherd's Pie too which might be off putting to traditionalists. Thanks for watching Daniel. Have a good rest of your weekend 🇨🇦 🤝 🇨🇦
It was a bit expensive compared to the mainstream brands but maybe it's justified given its a smaller Canadian company. I was in a crabby mood too from deciding if I wanted to pack up the November hot tent camp or not. Probably a little more critical than usual.
Thank you kindly - I appreciate seeing you stop by the channel. I think this is the first time I've seen you here before so I thank you for coming by. I hope you consider subscribing so we can stay in touch. I noticed you have some content on your channel too so I headed there now to subscribe to you. Cheers!!
Weird to try plant based versions of something that typically contains meat but it was fairy tasty once I cooked the Veggies extra long to soften them up.
I actually enjoy Shepherd's Pie - but this one had a very different look and feel. We usually use mashed potatoes, this one had potatoes that were more like french fries. The flavor of this one had some nice spice though.
Thanks Loki! It actually wasn't that bad once I simmered it in the canteen cup a bit. Decent flavor and spices. Not a traditional Shepherd's Pie in any sense though.
I’m on the same channel as far as the price point goes. Although freeze dried has it place in certain circumstances. There are so many other choices Like canned sausage.
Dan what do you think of the new Atmosphere? I wasn’t impressed it’s a high end fashion store now. Miss the old Camper’s. Great review - I will avoid!!
I agree Mike. We went to the one in WEM and the camping area is super small. I picked up a new sleeping bag there on the same sale and I'm fairly impressed with it though. It seems ok to go through to target sale items but selection is fairly poor.
Tom, I agree. A bit steep, maybe there are better deals out on it. I get that it's probably a bit more expensive since it's a smaller Canadian Company (not big box company) and it's plant-based. The taste was good, but it's a very different take on Shepherd's Pie.
That looks really good but I am sorry to hear about the veggies not hydrating. I still got hungry watching you eat it LOL. Wow 18 dollars is a little nuts. Yep, I hear ya. It's nice that it's made in BC though. I gotta say, that's a rare thing. I hear ya about being able to go eat at a pretty good restaurant for that cost.
Yah, I couldn't push myself to eat chewy and partially rehydrated Veggies. Had to boil the heck out of it. In retrospect, it was a weird take on Shepherd's Pie, but it tasted pretty good. I think we have 2 others from this company. I'll review them soon.
Anything over 20 grams is descent Probably hard to find a 30 grams but would love to try it ! Less water, longer cook time but I would smash that stuff for sure
It's a good one to try on sale. The taste was good but overall their take on Shepherd's Pie was a bit different and non conventional. Cost was definitely high though. Likely due to it being a small made in Canada product.
Pretty much, right? I think if you convert the $17 CDN I think that's about $13-$14 US. Still expensive for the portion size in my opinion. A nice steak and a baked potato would be alot tastier!
It sure was expensive. It's made with healthy ingredients, but in my opinion it was very over priced for what it was. I still have a few other meals by this brand that I'll review soon. Thanks for taking time to visit, watch and leave a comment.
Yea the dehydrated meals sometimes need a bit longer to soak up the water. Personally, as someone who actually has Celiacs Disease, I find it frustrating that so many gluten free things are made vegan as well for absaloutely no good reason!
That is common! I don't know why they do that. I got some from a company called Right on Trek that does ones that are gluten free but not vegan. Those ones are great, they're made in Montana but they don't sell right now to Canada. I have a few videos of some of them that they sent me and I reviewed and made videos on. Maybe you can get them On Amazon or Ebay.
@@DCOutdoors there is a company that Cabelas sells (and many other places) Alpineaire that makes a lot of gluten free meaty stuff. Eaten a lot of it while backpacking!
It was pretty damn cold out so that probably impacted the rehydration. I have two other meals of there's we picked up. I'll do one at home to see if it was really hit by being outside in the below freezing conditions. Cost was a bit much. Most of the mainstream backpacking meals , Mountain House for example are more like $13-$15 per meal. I agree , it's a take on Shepherd's Pie but it's not traditional at all. Did taste ok once I boiled the hell out of it. Thanks for watching. Hope some of the Fast Food Restaurants have some good Black Friday/ Cyber Monday deals for you.
It really was. Maybe since it's a smaller Canadian company and plant based it was more costly. Too bad because the flavor was ok. Thanks for tapping in and leaving a note.
Lol! I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to eat this one again. Expensive too based on what you get. Thanks for watching. I'm not sure I've seen you here before, but I hope to see you comment again soon.
I've seen this brand and menu online. I'm glad you have come to obtain this meal and try it. I still have some freeze dried camping meals. So exspensive!! If you want to see some aditional interesting camping meals not sold in north america, check out base camp foods UK. They also have some great gear. Have a great black Friday weekend. 🦝👋🏻👍🏻🇨🇦

@@DCOutdoors Yes brother, thanks alot have a blessed week
I always use dehydrated meals when I’m in the woods, for various reasons. The two big reasons are weight and clean up.
My tip, make a pouch out of reflectix and place your meal bag inside. When it’s cold outside, it is tremendous for heat retention. You will be shocked at how long it stays hot, which helps rehydrate your meal completely.
Still, like others say, it always takes longer than the suggested time.
With this method I wait 30 minutes for every meal. Fully hydrated and scorching hot.
Thanks for the post. Always enjoyable.
That's a really good tip! I'll look around on how to make one. If you have any good suggestions, let me know!
Good effort on trying to soften up those veggies. Thanks for another review!
You! I couldn't eat it initially. Too gross and chewy. The partially rehydrated Veggies don't do it for me. It was better after boiling the snot out of it.
YAY to food review!!! Plant-based is always good for me... 22g of protein is pretty good for something so easily prepared! It's a little expensive though but it's a good back-up plan to have in the pack.
Well said. It was quite different than what I'd expect in a Shepherd's Pie but had good flavor after I cooked the Veggies for the extra time on the stove.

Just bought a couple plant based meals to try, hopefully they turn out ok. Great review and it did seem pricey for a veggie based meal.
A bit pricy indeed. I was probably slightly hard on it since I was in a Grumpy mood. Filmed this one while deciding if I was gonna pack up camp and head home
Or not. I'd get this one again, I'd just buy them on some sales. Regular price was fairy steep.
What brand did you get?
They seem high priced. I know from watching your other videos the prices seem high. What’s the cheapest brand you purchase? Your face when u took that 1st bite 😂 it definitely looked good👍. Nice review Dan!

Good review and video. 👍
Thanks Tressa!!! Hope you're having an awesome lead up to Christmas! I have one week to turn things around and make the nice list.
Love Irish shepards pie this one sounds like a gardeners pie though, plant based
Absolutely! Not the best. It was super expensive in my opinion for what you get.
interestin, i bet my wife would like that, take care and stay safe
It had pretty good flavor. Fun to see a smaller brand from Canada trying to compete with the major big box backpacking food companies.

Seems like a lot of protein for a plant based meal, and a little expensive compared to the others you've reviewed. Great job on the review as always.

Thanks Ray! I know who has hit the bell button! 🔔
not so sure on the plant based but i would give it a go
Weird to try plant based versions of something that typically contains meat but it was fairy tasty once I cooked the Veggies extra long to soften them up.
The wife makes Shepherds Pie often, not sure about the "Irish" part but it is good for a quick meal -
I actually enjoy Shepherd's Pie - but this one had a very different look and feel. We usually use mashed potatoes, this one had potatoes that were more like french fries. The flavor of this one had some nice spice though.
Looks good brother at least you are trying it.
Thanks Loki! It actually wasn't that bad once I simmered it in the canteen cup a bit. Decent flavor and spices. Not a traditional Shepherd's Pie in any sense though.
I’m on the same channel as far as the price point goes. Although freeze dried has it place in certain circumstances. There are so many other choices Like canned sausage.
Lol. We know how good canned Sausage looks. 😅
Dan what do you think of the new Atmosphere? I wasn’t impressed it’s a high end fashion store now. Miss the old Camper’s. Great review - I will avoid!!
I agree Mike. We went to the one in WEM and the camping area is super small. I picked up a new sleeping bag there on the same sale and I'm fairly impressed with it though. It seems ok to go through to target sale items but selection is fairly poor.
cool review Dan. a bit expensive for my taste.
Tom, I agree. A bit steep, maybe there are better deals out on it. I get that it's probably a bit more expensive since it's a smaller Canadian Company (not big box company) and it's plant-based. The taste was good, but it's a very different take on Shepherd's Pie.
That looks really good but I am sorry to hear about the veggies not hydrating. I still got hungry watching you eat it LOL. Wow 18 dollars is a little nuts. Yep, I hear ya. It's nice that it's made in BC though. I gotta say, that's a rare thing. I hear ya about being able to go eat at a pretty good restaurant for that cost.
Yah, I couldn't push myself to eat chewy and partially rehydrated Veggies. Had to boil the heck out of it. In retrospect, it was a weird take on Shepherd's Pie, but it tasted pretty good. I think we have 2 others from this company. I'll review them soon.
Like38 hello ! Thank you l beautiful ❤️❤️🇻🇳🌺💃💃
Thank you for watching and for leaving me a note. Have a nice week of dancing !!!
Anything over 20 grams is descent Probably hard to find a 30 grams but would love to try it ! Less water, longer cook time but I would smash that stuff for sure
It tasted fairly good. I think the rehydration issues was mostly because it was so cold out. A bit expensive, but what isn't now a days.
I dunno about that price point. Yikes!
Thanks for the video brother
It's a bit steep. Most Mountain House meals here range in the $13-$15 range by comparison. Tasty but a bit expensive.
Which is why I only buy them when they're on sale.
tasty!
Not bad, but not great either. The cost of this one was way too much. Thanks for watching and grinding away at some of these older videos.
-10 😳 I would not be as calm as u are there. Id be shivering so bad lol.
Ive never had an MRE. I may have to try one day
Dude, today is -24c when I walked the kids to school. That converts to -11f. Probably colder with whatever wind chill we're getting. Brutal out today!
Did seem a bit pricey but good amount of calories, I'd prob pass on this one just due to price, great review though! 👍
It's a good one to try on sale. The taste was good but overall their take on Shepherd's Pie was a bit different and non conventional. Cost was definitely high though. Likely due to it being a small made in Canada product.
Looks good but way too pricey for me .
Happy Thanksgiving Dan
Pretty steep! Tasty though. Might buy them on sale. I have a couple more to try including Ukrainian Borscht which I'm excited to taste.
Wow that is expensive😳 could have had a big juicy ribeye😂
Pretty much, right? I think if you convert the $17 CDN I think that's about $13-$14 US. Still expensive for the portion size in my opinion. A nice steak and a baked potato would be alot tastier!
A vegetarian Sheppard's pie. Hmm. I think your facial expressions always tell the tale. 😒😄
Lol it was telling wasn't it? Haha
Sure was expensive Hope it tastes good
It sure was expensive. It's made with healthy ingredients, but in my opinion it was very over priced for what it was. I still have a few other meals by this brand that I'll review soon. Thanks for taking time to visit, watch and leave a comment.
Yea the dehydrated meals sometimes need a bit longer to soak up the water. Personally, as someone who actually has Celiacs Disease, I find it frustrating that so many gluten free things are made vegan as well for absaloutely no good reason!
That is common! I don't know why they do that. I got some from a company called Right on Trek that does ones that are gluten free but not vegan. Those ones are great, they're made in Montana but they don't sell right now to Canada. I have a few videos of some of them that they sent me and I reviewed and made videos on. Maybe you can get them On Amazon or Ebay.
@@DCOutdoors there is a company that Cabelas sells (and many other places) Alpineaire that makes a lot of gluten free meaty stuff. Eaten a lot of it while backpacking!
@@turtlewolfpack6061 I've had those ones too. They're pretty good!
@@DCOutdoors the gf breakfast one is nasty imho though. I skip that one!
Too bad your not monetize because when I run the playlist all the ads run😂 it’s coming soon👍🏼
I know, right? I see alot of ads already.
Seems a bit pricey. Too bad it didn't quite rehydrate correctly. I feel like calling it shepherds pie isn't quite right.
It was pretty damn cold out so that probably impacted the rehydration. I have two other meals of there's we picked up. I'll do one at home to see if it was really hit by being outside in the below freezing conditions. Cost was a bit much. Most of the mainstream backpacking meals , Mountain House for example are more like $13-$15 per meal. I agree , it's a take on Shepherd's Pie but it's not traditional at all. Did taste ok once I boiled the hell out of it. Thanks for watching. Hope some of the Fast Food Restaurants have some good Black Friday/ Cyber Monday deals for you.
The temperature dropped because you did it in the cold.
Yes - good point.
wow thats very expensive for a meal in a bag.
It really was. Maybe since it's a smaller Canadian company and plant based it was more costly. Too bad because the flavor was ok. Thanks for tapping in and leaving a note.
No meat... skip
Lol! I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to eat this one again. Expensive too based on what you get. Thanks for watching. I'm not sure I've seen you here before, but I hope to see you comment again soon.
I've seen this brand and menu online. I'm glad you have come to obtain this meal and try it. I still have some freeze dried camping meals. So exspensive!! If you want to see some aditional interesting camping meals not sold in north america, check out base camp foods UK. They also have some great gear. Have a great black Friday weekend. 🦝👋🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
Sweet, I'll have to check it out. How's the shipping fees and conversion from a UK site?
@@DCOutdoors probably a lot. I can't remember. But worth looking. Lots of European brands. Huge selection.
