    • 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

    • lots of jealous looks when people smelt my meal

h, the Mountain House Classic Bucket - the culinary savior of backpackers, campers, and apocalypse preppers alike. Here's my take on this freeze-dried delight: Taste Test: I cracked open the bucket with the anticipation of a starving adventurer, only to find a colorful array of freeze-dried meals staring back at me like a technicolor dream. With flavors ranging from beef stroganoff to chicken teriyaki, it's like a culinary world tour in a bucket. Just add water, and voilà! Gourmet(ish) cuisine in the great outdoors. Portability: Who needs a five-star restaurant when you've got a bucket of freeze-dried goodness? This bucket is the ultimate in portability - just toss it in your backpack and you're ready for any adventure. It's like having a personal chef in a compact, lightweight package. Plus, the bucket doubles as a makeshift drum for those impromptu campfire jam sessions. ... 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

We probably spent over $1,000 over the last few years purchasing mountain House quick easy simple and taste great, however the price sucks cuz it keeps going up. We do a lot of rough camping and they come in handy when trying to pack light.
