cactusjack Report post Posted September 18, 2020 I get it. They changed the packaging but didn't change the description/marketing info. If you plan your trip based off of a certain amount of weight/space/quantity of food per package and they ship you something different, I get being disappointed. Eating 2 servings out of one bag would make for an awkward dinner with your hunting buddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve had mountain house but dang it’s like $109 for 24 servings Yeah prices have gone up. I bought my MH buckets on Amazon when they were $52 for a pail of 12 pouches. Each pouch was 2 servings. Now I see that same product is over double the price I paid in 2013. I bought 12 buckets, which was a lot of money at the time but now looks like a deal. Mine is mostly stored for food shortage survival but i do grab them occasionally for backcountry trips. The chili mac is the bees knees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of my buddies told me about mountain house last year and I couldn’t believe how good they were. Hopefully these taste at least half as good as the mountain house.

Excellent quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know where I live, come on over for some beef and we’ll make jerky. Cattle great but going to stop at Jackrabbit and the freeze dried shoot, if I am ever that desperate to eat, whacking neighborhood dogs would be a start. Otherwise its going to be a diet of Power line Deer and National park bighorn and goats. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted September 18, 2020 Unrelated, but I ate an MRE a couple weeks ago that had been under the seat of my truck since 2017. It was the Jalepeno Beef patty with blueberry muffin and spicy cheese spread with tortilla. The bag of M&Ms had seen better days.... Pretty certain the whole package may not have survived and been recognizable as a food source after another summer. Ate it just in time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve eaten some MRE’s that were in bad temperatures before. Tasted like rations. Fresh ones don’t taste much better. But still, the gut issue! They ruin me!

I’ve had mountain house but dang it’s like $109 for 24 servings We bought these back in 2013. 4 serving per package. We've eaten a few over the years. They take longer to cook than MH. I eat MH on the trail and Wise if I'm truck camped. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
