History<\/h4>\n
\n
\n

In 1951, a group of Girl Scouts went on a torturous camping trip with heavy canned food, supplies and a long mountain trek. The troop leader went home inspired and was motivated to create a lighter, more manageable, just-add-water option for their outdoor adventurers. She succeeded in that mission, and Dri-Lite Foods became the first adventure food on the market. Anne Benedict started dehydrating meals in her garage, but quickly realized a growing demand for lightweight meals for camping. Twenty years later, her small outdoor company was purchased by Ronald Smith. With the help of a small but dedicated team, Ronald transformed the Girl Scouts’ inspired idea into one of the world\u2019s foremost producers of freeze-dried meals. In the 1970s Dri-Lite Foods was renamed Backpacker’s Pantry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
