Buyer Evaluations

Ok, the item is fine as advertised. It really is an emergency provide of food for 1 adult for 3 days (keep in mind to have enough water). I like to bring Mountain Property packs with me when I go motorcycle camping or backpacking. They are light, quick to pack, and I get pleasure from them. Quite often they take the function of "just in case" food, and occasionally they serve as a planned meal. The chili mac with beef is a individual favored, as is the beef stroganoff. I am not especially fond of beef stroganoff often, but there's a thing about a savory meal when camping. Mountain House meals generally taste improved than a number of of the freeze-dried alternatives.
So why did I say "nearly fantastic?" Properly, I'd favor it if they sold this kit with the two-serving packets. I'm in most cases moto-camping or backpacking with somebody. It's super-convenient to have one particular package for two people today. Less waste. On the plus side, it's not 5-serving packages like some other emergency kits. Considering the fact that it really is advertised for 1 person, this is expected.
Second, the vegetable packs (which are two-serving packs, although I'm guessing are intended for a single individual) are a waste for a property emergency kit. Get canned vegetables rather. The vegetable packs are awesome for backpacking, as they will assist hold your digestive method pleased. They don't come out quite as great as canned vegetables, but they're much lighter.
If you are debating in between this and MREs, there is a few points to take into account:
1) Personally, I consider MREs don't taste as great as Mountain Home meals
2) MREs do not demand a stove and fuel (MRE heating packs)
three) MREs do not demand additional water (true of canned foods, as well)
I do have MREs occasionally for moto-camping, but not for backpacking, as I favor the Mountain Property meals.

Although the food quality is decent - and the packages should final for a while, it's a bit deceptive to say that a TOTAL of about 2500 calories is adequate for a person for 3 days. Unless you are on a seriously tight eating plan. For a short term like 72 hours simply hold some canned food about (or some MRE's) and you'd do significantly better. If you insist on camping (dehydrated) food - just acquire a few of the real meals from this organization. At least you will be eating adequate to hold the stomach rumbles down.
