The Food Actually Tastes Amazing

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2023

Pattern Name: Camping FoodVerified Purchase

I tried two packages of the food so far just to test out the quality (beef stroganoff, and chicken with rice). I've had some stored for 2 years now. I was very impressed with the flavor and quality of the food. It tastes very fresh and close to a home-cooked quality and probably better than what most restaurants would serve you. The portion sizes are very generous. Enough for two people if needed. With a shelf life of 30 years, you can't go wrong having a few of these buckets on hand for an emergency situation.

The packaging is high quality and seems very durable. Prep is very easy. Boiling water in the bag, mix it well, seal it up, leave for 10 minutes, and it's done. I have no complaints with this product. WILL UPDATE in 2051 if I still have one left, to confirm how well the flavor held up!

I bought these meals to have in case of an emergency. It's good to always be prepared. I received them today and made the beef stew. I wanted to make one to see how good they are. It was easy to make and I was surprised at how good they are. The beef stew was almost better than what I make. I will be buying more. Thank you for a delicious product.

A tad pricy but great taste and utility.

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2023

Pattern Name: Camping FoodVerified Purchase

Where to start...The chicken fried rice is amazing, the granola w/ milk is great as well for the morning, the beef stronganov w/ noodles is great for lunch and dinner and the beef stew is also amazing for brunch but the flavor can be a bit over powering. The spaghetti with meat sauce tasted a bit bland so had to add a bit of parmesan cheese and tobasco for flavoring. The bucket itself is very useful in storing these pouches and other future pouches bought. Will recommend again but not so much the spaghetti.

Mountain House is the Best…. But has gotten very expensive

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2023

Pattern Name: Camping FoodVerified Purchase

First point: These meals have gotten ridiculously expensive. $11 for a freeze dried meal…. Second, they say there are two servings per package but that doesn’t work for me. I often backpack alone and cannot store the “leftover” portion. In fairness, everything has gotten expensive…

I have always bought Mountain House as I like their meals. They taste very good. I have not busted open this container yet as I’m finishing up my previous Mountain House container. I am confident that the quality and taste of the food will be very good. If there was something they could do to bring down the prices though….

We love Mountain House meals

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2023

Pattern Name: Camping FoodVerified Purchase

We spent 4 days Scamping on Porta Aransas Beach and didn't have to do any cooking except to heat water. We love these meals. They taste like homemade and are not oversalted like one of the other brands. Do yourself a favor and buy these for camping, day trips, hiking or prepping. The price is right and if you buy this on sale, each serving will be even less. Just do it!!! Mountain House meals was recommended by a friend. We are so blessed.

Deployment

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2023

Pattern Name: Camping FoodVerified Purchase

My husband is an outdoorsy guy and grew up camping hunting and eating these. He’s in the navy and had an issue with his ship not having enough food on his last deployment so bad he lost so much weight. This time around he decided to bring these with him. It’s so lightweight it was easy for him to carry on and store. Will be buying again.
