How to Pack a RecPak for Field Use

Quick answer

Pack a RecPak Complete Meal by organizing the pouch, adding water, and storing it correctly for field use. It's a simple process that ensures you get 700 calories and 42g of protein when you need it most.

How to pack a RecPak for field use

1. 1. Check the pouch integrity: Inspect the RecPak pouch for any tears, holes, or weak seals. A damaged pouch can let moisture in or leak powder out. If the pouch is compromised, transfer the contents to a resealable, waterproof bag. Always test the seal before packing; a pinhole can ruin your meal.
2. 2. Add water correctly: Open the top of the pouch and pour the recommended amount of cold or warm water (usually about 12–16 oz, but check the label). Stir with a spoon or shake the sealed pouch. Do not overfill—too much water makes the meal thin and less calorie-dense. Use the fill line inside the pouch if available; otherwise, measure water separately.
3. 3. Seal and store for field use: After mixing, press out excess air and reseal the pouch tightly. Store the prepared meal in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For long-term field storage, keep the pouch inside a waterproof container or your pack’s dry bag. Store prepared meals within 24 hours; if unopened, store in a cool, dark place.
