Last week, we all got a chance to try out some of our new BigHorn Mountain Food meals, and the decision was unanimous… We love them! 💚

That opinion comes from our staff that’s pretty well-versed in freeze-dried and dehydrated meal packs. Even some of our staff who aren’t as familiar with backpacking meals were big fans!

BigHorn Mountain Food uses USA-made, farm-sourced ingredients, and there are some delicious flavors to choose from. The Chicken & Mushroom Marsala was a huge hit, but I can’t wait to try the Creamy Dijon Chicken with Tarragon & Rice. I might have to bring one home and make it for dinner this week! 👀

If you’re packing for a fall backpacking trip or just a camping weekend these are definitely worth checking out. Stop by tomorrow and see all the flavors we have in stock!

Hunting season is creeping up faster than we want to admit!

Stop by to check out First Lite’s simple and functional gear that is designed to keep you comfortable and outdoors longer.

First Lite was built by hunters who demanded the highest quality apparel for the most extreme conditions. Today, their gear is just as great for anyone who spends their time outside and wants dependable clothing that can keep up with their hunts.

We have First Lite hunting and lifestyle men’s gear available at Mel’s. Stop in and check it out before the season is here! 🧡

As much as I don’t know if I’m ready for fall yet… these mocha Bostons have me changing my mind. 🍂🤎

That rich brown color adds the perfect little fall touch to every outfit. They’ve got me dreaming of a pumpkin patch, a warm cider in hand, and the perfect cozy fall photoshoot.
