Exactly what I expected February 1, 2010
R. Rock (Connecticut)
This product delivers as advertised. The packets pack small and light for my emergency supply bag and provide nice variety. Pretty much the only way to improve this is to include Beef stew. That's probably my favorite Mountain House product and is conspicuously absent here.
Good but consider carefully December 2, 2009

Mountain House has been around a long, long time. They have put a lot of effort into improving their product over the years and the current food is really very tasty considering it is freeze-dried. All of the entrees we've tried have been very good. (Although of course we haven't tried them all and there may be some that barely resemble food. Like anything else, personal taste will be the deciding factor. Adding some spices, hot sauce, etc. to your stash will make a world of difference. ) And the seven year shelf life is nice. The only caveat is that as with any pre-packaged "kit" you cannot simply take their word for how long something is supposed to last, or for how many people. You have to look at the number of calories and do the math and decide for yourself how much you will want or need. Will this keep you from starving? Sure. But if you have the foresight to "be prepared" surely you can plan to do better than just not "starving." And consider that in many of the scenarios where you might really need this food, increased physical activity and the greatly increased calorie requirements that brings might be the order of the day. We have five day's worth of MH food for three people, but we did it by doing the calculations and deciding how much we needed/wanted. And it's a much bigger pile than what this package might lead you to believe is sufficient. Lastly, in addition to adequate drinking water, don't forget the water needed to prepare the food (and although not strictly required, a way to heat the water is a huge plus.)

Think about it. Three days.
Sure, having some nice freeze-dried expensive backpacker food would be swell, even though you'll need some extra water and something to heat the water with.
But - think about it.
There's no reason at all why anyone older than infancy can't live for three days on just plain crackers and water. Add a bottle of vitamin pills if that worries you, but vitamin deficiency diseases like scurvy take much longer than three days to become serious. Mom can provide the best infant food the natural way (if not, add some packets of dried milk and mix it with crushed crackers and water).
A store of good water is more important. Get a bunch of boxes of saltine-type crackers and store up three or more gallons of water per person and forget the commercial survival food.
 Great food for emergencies or camping June 3, 2009

Mountain House 72-Hour Emergency Meal Kit
This food is amazingly good. We purchased this to add to our earthquake preparedness kit, but we tasted the stroganoff before we filed the rest away. It was surprisingly yummy.

The meals are great! Good tasting and essential... well balanced meals. I live in N.W. Florida, and we have had a number of hurricanes put the power out for days... 2 1/2 weeks when Ivan hit. This is much needed in times like those, and hurricane season begins June 1st this year. Be prepared!!!
