Mountain House Emergency Meal Assortment Kits, Freeze-Dried Survival Food Kit for Disaster Preparedness & Long-Term Storage, 30-Year Shelf Life

I love these things. They are great for camping / backpacking. All you need is boiled water and a utensil. And they taste so damn good! I still can't believe how good these taste. These are my go to when camping, so light, so easy, so good!

Comes in a big box with individual sealed freeze dried bags. I checked each bag no spills or damage. Haven't tried them yet but packaging is good. Long shelf life 25+years.

Mountain House is REALLY expensive but it makes up for it in taste. Survival geared freeze dried food is horrible! It's mainly beans and rice with "ZERO" meat. If you purchased the other brands, In a SHTF situation, you'd have a hard decision to make. Eat the filth or die a long painful death by starvation. Take a guess which route I'm taking. Hint: It doesn't involve eating.

They're intended to be kept in a bunker or stashed away for emergency situations even decades from now, so that's good. Each bag is labeled as two servings and have nutritional facts listed and an oxygen absorber packet to help them last. The flavor is okay, not outstanding but not terrible enough to stop eating if you're hungry. You can't compress the bags any smaller so they take up a good chunk of space in a tote or gorilla box. At $279 for one box, it seemed like the value was decent when I did the math per serving, but some of the items aren't worth the same as others (ie: meat lasagna vs a bag of granola) but they're not really full meals, they're the entrees, so you still need to compliment the meal with sides like fruit or potatoes or veggies. Though each bag is labeled as two servings, if that's all you are going to eat, then you'll eat both servings. I've taste-tested several types to see which ones I'd like to stock up more of or take out of my inventory. They're simple to make with very easy instructions (open, remove oxygen absorber, add exact amount of boiling water listed, stir, seal for specified time, open and restir, seal for additional specified time, open and enjoy). For camping, hiking trips, etc, these would suffice for short trips but aren't intended to be your only source of food, so bring your sides and snacks, too! These actually have pretty low calorie content in comparison to typical survival foods which capitalize on high calorie meals so food sustains you longer. Good packaging, ready in less than 10 minutes after adding boiling water, decent taste for food with a long shelf-life. I'd be happier with the contents at a $200 price point. I paid $279 in October of 2023 and the same box costs $379 in January of 2025. I only noticed when I came online to order a few of the flavors I wanted to purchase more of. There are other brands with comparable quality and taste at much lower price points, so search around before making your decision. If price doesn't matter, then stocking up a few boxes of these in your apocalypse bunker is a good choice.

I bought either two or three boxes of this food while ago. It was super easy to make, and was absolutely delicious! I kept checking after my gift$

While these are pricy yo purchase this many at once, there is a monthly pay program ( free and no interest) that make buying these are no Brainer. Mountain house has been at the " top" of the hill in freeze dried good for a really long time for a reason.

Seem like real quality. Very impressed with the variety.

Surprisingly this stuff tastes great. Mountain house is the Michelin Star food of the outdoors. I think this is good to have for emergencies and if you camp a lot.
