Peak Refuel Bison Ranch Mashers Freeze-Dried Meal

The Peak Refuel Bison Ranch Mashers is a freeze-dried shepherd's pie-style camp meal built around USA-raised ground bison, ranch-seasoned mashed potatoes, and a mix of peas, carrots, and corn. Each single pouch delivers 40 grams of protein and 1,120 calories across two servings, ready to eat in 10 minutes with 16 oz of boiling water. The sealed pouch carries a 10-year shelf life.

Real Bison, No Fillers

The Bison Ranch Mashers uses 100% real USA-raised ground bison rather than textured vegetable protein or artificial meat substitutes. For backcountry trips and overlanding camps where recovery and sustained energy matter, a meal built on actual protein sources puts the 40 grams per pouch to real work, not label padding. The ingredient list reflects that: ground bison, sour cream, salted butter, vegetables, and potato flakes, with no TVP listed.

Fast Prep, Minimal Gear Required

Preparation requires only 16 oz of boiling water and 10 minutes of stand time. No pot, no draining, no separate cookware to wash. The pouch itself serves as the cooking vessel, which keeps cleanup to a minimum when water is scarce or the day is long. That simplicity makes it a practical option for base camp dinners, day-hike lunches, or emergency food storage alike.

Long Shelf Life for Stocking Ahead

Peak Refuel certifies a 10-year shelf life on sealed pouches, which means the Bison Ranch Mashers can be bought in quantity and stored without rotation anxiety. For overlanders building a truck-based food kit or households keeping a preparedness supply, that shelf stability removes the guesswork of expiration management that shorter-dated camp food requires.

Common Questions

How do you prepare the Bison Ranch Mashers in the field?

To prepare the Bison Ranch Mashers, open the pouch at the tear mark and remove the oxygen absorber. Add 2 cups (16 oz) of boiling water directly to the pouch, stir well, and zip it closed. Let it stand for 10 minutes, then open, stir again, and eat directly from the pouch. No separate cookware is needed beyond a way to boil water.

Is the meat in this meal real bison or a meat substitute?

The Bison Ranch Mashers uses 100% real USA-raised ground bison. The ingredient list does not include textured vegetable protein or artificial meat fillers. The bison is part of the ranch sauce base alongside sour cream, salted butter, vegetables, and seasonings.
