Title: Wise food company meals?
Post by: Bmcox86 on December 22, 2013, 05:17:17 PM: Saw a commercial for these guys while watching that prepper show, got a free sample and doesn't look to bad, there smart they sent me cheeseburger Mac. Prices don't look to bad either, 40 bucks for 14 servings.

Anyone try these?

Not exactly appetizing to me to have crunchy bits mixed into my dinner. I have about 10 varieties of MH I rotate now and all are reliable and plenty tasty after a 10+ mile day hiking around.

Curious to see what you think of this stuff! I tried another brand from Sierra Trading Post that I bought for about $3/meal but it was awful and poor texture/rehydration.
