An Entire Ham on the Trail?

We have just introduced a little 8oz shelf-stable ham to our meats lineup that tastes great and packs easily. It’s about the size of a tennis ball making it a great main dish for two hikers (or one VERY hungry hiker) or several slices for a small group.

 We introduced it to the Packit Gourmet tasting team the other day… and ended up eating the entire ham! Aside from great trailside sandwich or wrap possibilities, you could also:
  • Whip up some instant mashed potatoes and enjoy with a few slices of ham
  • Fry it up to serve with some fabulous Ova Easy scrambled eggs
  • Pancakes and ham . . . yum!
  • Add bits and pieces for a tasty ham and bean soup
  • The possibilities are endless...
Easter is coming up and I think it would be great fun to have an Easter ham to serve on the trail?! Or any holiday for that matter. I can't wait to pull this ham out of my pack the next time I go camping with friends over a long holiday weekend! Boy will they be surprised and impressed?




We have a sad update... Sparrer's is no longer making the chopped ham. It has been discontinued :(

  1. How many staffer's did it feed?

    I'm looking to feed two adults, a pre-teen boy and a 10 yo girl at the end of a 5 nile jaunt. As part of a complete meal, am I going to be wishing I ordered two?

  2. Teenage boys are usually pretty ravenous so I would go on the safe side and get two. It's a 1/2 pound ham about the size of a tennis ball... so if you got two that would give you 1/4 pound each and that should be plenty. You could stretch it to feed four people but you would definitely need to serve it with some additional food.

  4. The manufacturer of the hams is backordered right now but hopefully we'll have the hams back in stock in the next week or two.

    Our complementary tool kits are available with almost every meal that we carry and include several little items that you may find helpful when cooking in the outdoors. You can choose to have the tool kit included in your meal pack or opt out if you'll already be carrying these items with you. The following items are included in our two-person meal kit (single serving meals include one of each item):

    - 2 Salt Packets
    - 2 Pepper Packets
    - 2 Moist Towelettes
    - 2 Waxed Paper "Prep Mats"
