Our story

It started with a bad beef stew.

We all live in Colorado, and some of us grew up in Michoacán, Mexico. On a backpacking trip in the Rockies, all we could talk about was the food we grew up on. Then dinner came out of a bag: a bland, dehydrated beef stew.

The food sucked. So we started making our own, from our families' recipes, light enough to carry anywhere. That's how Oso was born.

How it works

One cup of water. 15 minutes. No kitchen required.

  1. Add water

    Pour 1 cup of boiling water into the pouch.

  2. Wait 10

    Seal it and let it rehydrate for 10 minutes.

  3. Stir & eat

    Stir, give it 5 more minutes, and eat from the pouch.
