“Addictions can be very, very bad but addiction itself is not bad.
It’s a case of what you’re addicted to.
You better live each day like it’s your last, ‘cos one day you’re going to be right”.
Ray Charles.

Thanks for visiting this page to check out F.I.R.S.T, the food product we’ve developed. At the start of the project, the question we wanted to answer was a simple one; could we create a single nutrition source for prolonged, cold weather expeditions?
The answer that we could is contained on the next pages and if our product fits the bill for you, we’d love to hear your feedback so please don’t hesitate sending us your thoughts.
To the many people who’ve helped getting FIRST to this point – our thanks – and while we can’t guarantee we will make you smile more than Peter and Jason in Antarctica, we can say with certainty that our product works really well.

Click here for the journey FIRST has taken and what it’s about or have a look below at the starting point we began with which was; could we replicate or exceed the nutrition of a typical outdoors menu with a single product which would:
* High nutritional value
* Weighs next to nothing
* Requires minimal cooking or preparation time
* Suitable for vegetarians
* Effective in hot and cold climates
* Far smaller in volume than comparable nutrition
* Able to be consumed fast
The photo below of the food is exactly what’s on this list and to round out this page there’s an image of Fred Beckey scoping out new cragging options in Australia. Given Fred will eat just about anything – and has – he liked the 4 flavours of our product but said he was as happy eating whatever he found in his pack, some of which looked like he took to Devils Thumb in 1946 ……
