Favorite Freeze Dried Meals

[ridgefire]

i like the mountain house meals as well, have not found one that i cannot eat yet and im a pretty picky eater. i probably like the beef stroganoff the best. i usually get the pro pack, plenty enough food for me and u still get as many calories and what not as the two serving meals.

Packit Gourmet is one of my favorites.

The cheese burger is pretty good, but you need to have bread or tortillas.

Some of my hunting buddies buy the Army MRE's by the case and pack them in on hiking and hunting trips. All you do is heat them up in hot water or use the chemical heater that's provided. I can't recommend them for the taste department, and the vets out there will most likly agree, but they're designed for individual consumption and are super loaded with calories. One package meal is around 3000 by itself, if you eat everything in it. I agree with the other posts about getting a dehydrator/seal-a-meal kit and doing it yourself. You get what you want cause you made it. As much as Mtn House and the others claim to have the best tasting food, i think your stomach will decide for you on that.

Always loved the MH scrambled eggs and bacon bits when I was a kid for breakfast.

Mt House is still (a couple years now) having problems filling orders for the #10 cans.

From their site.

Dear Valued Customers:
As you know we have removed #10 cans from our website temporarily. The reason for this is sales of #10 cans have continued to increase. OFD is allocating as much production capacity as possible to this market segment, but we must maintain capacity for our other market segments as well.
Currently we are able to meet demand for Mountain House pouches and most of these products are still available for purchase on our website. We do have a small number of dealers that we will continue to make and ship #10 cans to and you will need to contact them directly to place an order. For a list of dealers, please contact us at MH-Info@ofd.com
We want to clarify inaccurate information that is being said on the internet, news and radio. This situation is not due to sales to the government domestically or internationally. We do sell products to this market, but we also sell other market segments, including Ingredient and Private Brand markets. The reason for this decision is solely due to an unexpected sales spike in #10 cans sales.
We expect this situation to be necessary for several months although this isn’t a guarantee. We will update this information as soon as we know more. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience. We sincerely hope you will continue to be Mountain House customers in the future.

Mre's are not bad these days but there are real heavy compaired to mountainhouse, they do have about twice the calories in a meal. I'm a big eater so I have two eat about 4 servings of mountainhouse after a big day in the backcountry to fill up. Mountainhouse needs to make a "man" sized meal if you ask me.

My favorite MH meal is the Seafood chowder-cook a trout and mix it in with the chowder and you have a back country meal like no other-other than eating trout themselves, of course.  We tried Chicken Pesto Pasta MRE's yesterday that were excellent.

I like the backpackers pantry phad thai, and just about anything mountain house makes. I also take a kraft mac'n cheese microwaveable  with me and it becomes my insulated bowl for oatmeal and such. that has cut a pot out of my pack. I carry some dry refried beans and cous cous too for filler.

You like the phad thai?  That stuff almost killed me.  My dog wouldn't eat it.  Ah, well.  I also like pork rinds, so who am I to judge?    I do like the cous cous.

It did not kill you......you are now tougher then before!

I like most of the mountainhouse and I almost always have one in my pack because a hot lunch beats the hell out of a soggy sandwich for lunch anyday. but when I am overnighting it I only take the chicken and rice because it has the most calories of any of their meals(that I like).  It gets a little old after a few days but my food intake is more about calories than taste.

Been a long time since I've had Mt. House, I've lived in the field off authentic MRE's most of the time.  I've noticed alot of vendors getting into the survival food gig... (I know, I know the worlds going to end tomorrow... yada...yada...yada)  Anyway, I got a free sample from a place called "Daily Bread", but sheesh they want like 4k for 8 months of freeze dried stuff...)  I could do much better on 4k with a canner and vacuum bagger.  I'll have to try the Mt. House stuff...

MT house are the best out there in my opinion
