I'm looking over the list thinking " Hmm I could just buy my meals from Hawk and never cook home again"

Hawk- Do you dehydrate this food yourself or purchase some of it already dehydrated? Or a mix of both?

Many of these sound great- will you prepare the food under campfire light too?

It's all 100% Hawk prepared using fresh ingredients whenever possible

You've never heard of "Rent-A-Hawk"??

Are these the "add x-ounces of water, stir, and wait y-minutes" type of food?
If so, this is like...WOW!

Not sure I can afford it (rent-a-hawk that is).. I am going to order some of the fare to sample on a short canoe trip this spring.

Most are "Cover with water, boil, stir, EAT......"

Hitched Hiker · 04-19-2007, 09:19 PM

how much does a rent a hawk go for these days? Are ammenities extra?

redhawk · 05-03-2007, 01:49 AM

I've expanded the menu greatly. Now including breakfasts and spreads along with new dinner items.

I'm working on crackers and nutritional snacks, desserts, and dried fruits as well over the next few weeks or so.

once I get back from our South Dakota Trek (May 15th through June 3rd) I'll be getting a larger faster dehydrator since it seem this is going to be keeping me busy. Demand has been much more then i thought it would be.

So if you are going to want anything between the middle of May and early June, you best order it now.

Thanks for all your orders.

Woo Hoo! I already got my order, before the rush. We tried the Shrimp Cappellini at home. Preparation is a snap - just boil water, stir and eat. It fit easily in my 2 litre pot, and made two nice hearty portions. It was delicious.

My son gave it the highest compliment. He said, "This tastes like real food!" Next week, I'll be in the 'Daks for 5 days. When I get back, I'll post a review of some of the other dinners.

Linda Yaffe is gonna demand royalties pretty soon!

'til then, looks like a great business you've started, Hawk.

poconoron · 05-04-2007, 09:23 PM

Just got back from 3 days in the ADKs. After picking up the Cowboy Pasta and Shrimp Cappelini from Hawk on Wednesday- guess what I had for dinner Wed. and Thurs. nights?

I can testify that this is "real food" and not like something you'd get from Mountain House, et al.......and portions were very generous, I thought. What also jumps out (for me) is the stark comparison between Hawk vittles taste vs. sodium-loaded pre-packaged stuff. If I WANT sodium loaded, I'll do it myself.

Good stuff and highly recommended......I will be back for more, including for my 10 days out in the Idaho wilderness later this year.

When I first received my order from Hawk, I split up packages into single servings and wrote directions on the ziploc with a sharpie.

After setting up my base site, I made a quick lunch of Hawk's Backpackers Potatoes Plus. The small bits of potato broke down into a seasoned stewlike broth which contained the larger pieces of potato, beans and onions. The meal was perfectly seasoned, I did not need to add any salt or pepper. I likened it to a potato and bean chowder. The half serving filled me up and provided enough energy for my 3 hour hike.

After my hike I still wasn't too hungry, the potatoes apparently were still providing me with energy but I really wanted to try Hawk's Spicy Chicken. Like with the potatoes I used only half it came to a boil in no time and absorbed all the water. The vermicelli maintained it's texture and the "sauce" was seasoned appropriately. It wasn't too hot for those who have an aversion to spice. Maybe Hawk will have different "heat" ratios in the future. Another excellent meal.

Way to go Hawk. Thanks.

redhawk · 05-06-2007, 02:10 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Yes I can change the degree of "spiciness" as far as heat goes, either less or more. I can also omit certain ingredients for those who are allergic or don't care for them, like say mushrooms. There may be a little delay in delivery for special orders.

I am open to any suggestions from anyone about menu items, packaging, etc.

Anyone who wants to be emailed catalog revisions as well as a periodic newsletter can subscribe by emailing hawkvittles@gmail.com
Just type "subscribe" into the subject

Of course the list will not be used for anything except the newsletter or catalog.

I'm working on snacks and crackers and desserts to add to the choices in the future.

Thanks again

Hawk
