I know there are a bunch of suppliers these days, Mountain House, Backpackers Pantry, Richmoor, & Alpineaire. I normally just stick with Mountain House chicken & rice or beef stew. What are some other good ones?
I don't know. I think Mt. House is about as good as it gets. I like the Chicken Breast & Potatoes and the Beef Stroganoff.

Chili Mac and beef, and Teriyaki chicken are the best!

Mtn House for me also. Any of them work, as I'm not too picky usually when I'm eating them. Beef Stroganoff and Teriyaki Chicken would my favs. I'm actually really surprised that no other company has stepped up and created a new line. It's definately something that could be improved in the hunting/backpacking industry. :twocents:
There are quite a few out there. If you go to the Campmor.com site, they have many different ones, some so fancy I don't even make them at home. :chuckle:

Three things you have to have in your pack: Salt, pepper, and butter buds. They can make anything taste good.

I meant a company that made a meal that was better tasting and price comparable than Mtn House

I started making my own with a food dehydrater and boy are they tasty. A good plus is the cost is only 2-3 bucks per meal insted of 6-7. Take a look at all the recipes at Backpackingchef.com, my favorite is the Mexican stuff.
I'm going to dig out the food dehydrater to do just that. I've got some ideas of my own and I've found a few hints of some high protien meals on the net.

Under NO conditions should you ever eat the Backpacker's Pantry Phad Thai, though. That'll give a starving hyena the dry heaves. After a rough 14 mile day I couldn't eat it and had to throw it away.
Other than that, you can make some yourself by getting instant cous cous or quick cook rice with a flavor packet and add a pack of chicken to it (those little foil packs you can buy now.) Put it all in a gallon ziplock, write the directions for the cous cous/rice on the side and then just add boiling water, wrap in your coat until it gets done cooking and then dump in the chicken. Good times.

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

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.

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? :chuckle: I do like the cous cous.
