  • Best camping food
Pattern Name: Camping Food
I love mountain house meals very much, love meals in the classic with nice storage, high quality. There are many flavours - beef, rice, pasta and so on, fit to me and my family members. I recommended mountain house meals to my friends, I will definitely repurchase 🙂

  • A great brand
Pattern Name: Camping Food
Mountain House has been doing this a long time, and the food has always been good. I remember getting their food from mail order catalogs long before the internet. Back then, your options were limited to two or three companies, MRES, or surplus C-rations from Vietnam. I like their buckets/packs because they are one of the few companies that offer a large variety of entrees that contain actual meat. Many others are mainly various permutations of flavored pasta and rice or other grain-based dry goods with no actual meat in it. I like pasta and rice too, but it's nice to have something that kind of "sticks to your ribs" sometimes. Tastes great too, like a regular meal. My meal bucket came carefully double-boxed and arrived in great shape. Once empty, the bucket can be used a variety of ways in an emergency too. They are lightweight so if necessary you can ditch the bucket and put a bunch of them in a pack if you have to bug-out. Recommend others interested in this type of product also check out their webstore here on Amazon, they have a pretty amazing collection of dishes. You can buy a single pouch to try out before committing to a whole box/pail of them. They also have the big #10 cans. As an aside, a "best by" date is NOT an expiration date. The food will remain perfectly edible past its "best by" date for years, it may just not have the same consistency or flavor that it did when new. With recent emergencies like Helene cutting off communities that are hundreds of miles from the ocean, strikes, long term power outages, people panic-buying leaving shelves empty etc. it pays to be prepared. Even a small stash of neccesities can make the difference until help can arrive or things return to somewhat normal, or you are displaced from your home. I trust this brand and recommend their products. All made in the USA too. I do wish they had 4 of each entree item in this bucket for my wife and I, as their idea or a "serving" and mine are pretty different. :) I can easily eat a whole pouch myself. ... show more

  • Good for what it is
Pattern Name: Camping Food
It takes a little trial-and-error to get the water ratio right, and it's a little salty, but for camping in July in Utah, the salt is not a bad thing. I've not tried the cereal yet, but the egg breakfast was good, as were the lunches and dinners. All-in-all, I will continue to travel with Mountain House. ... show more

  • Glad we got them.
Pattern Name: Camping Food
Decent for the price. All of the packages were sealed. We have these on hand incase there's another natural disaster leaving us without power for days. They're also nice to take camping. Once hydrated they taste good with an 8/10 texture. Dehydrated food will almost always have a light weirdness to it, but they're good for what they are. ... show more

  • Have Not Used Due to no Apocalypse Yet :)
Pattern Name: Camping Food
Well, its true. No major disasters that would prompt me to use it. But, I used to use Mountain House for backpacking food decades ago and they were always high quality. So, I trust these will be fine for that emergency we all hope will never come. I have opened some other dehydrated food I got elsewhere and samples it, and it is fine. So, if you want one for the house or cabin, etc. this brand is usually very high quality. ... show more
