ProteinStix
We have to admit that when we first saw backpackers using trekking poles, we thought they were just another gearhead affectation. But as our knees and ankles hit the far side of forty, their appeal became more palpable. Sadly even the lightest (and priciest) trekking poles added two pounds to our trail weight.
Fortunately when we began crafting our nutritionally balanced line of edible gear we quickly realized trekking poles could be the foundation of a healthy meal, and simultaneously help us avoid injury on the trail.
By compressing beef, chicken, shrimp and textured vegetable protein under high heat and temperature (using a propietary process and large enough amounts of msg to cause binding and hardening of the pliable proteins) we are able to offer our customers a sturdy and truly nutritious pair of sticks.
And don't think we've forgotten you vegans: we now offer a fully organic, vegetarian product formed from Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP1).
