Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

My favorite is beef stroganoff, and others hate it. It's not the cheapest out there, but it is definitely the best that i've tried. These all taste so good that i can say that it is price alone that prevents me from making this a staple in my pantry.

The only thing i would add is some cheese to the spaghetti and meat. Bonus is that there is only spoon to wipe off when you are done!

Great meals for lightweight minimalistic outback camping. Most use 1 to 2 cups of hot water to reheat. It is more expensive then some mre rations available but what if you actually have to eat it?

Mountain house is very popular with backpackers. Great for camping and day hikes. House over the years on backpacking trips. These buckets are handy for protecting the food pouches in storage.

Cons

Cost per meal is another huge disadvantage. After eating them it required a lot of water to counter-act all of the salt. I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than maybe survival rations, or better yet, use it for bait.

Highlights

Quality

Lightweight product that lasts a long time and tastes great.

Flavors have improved and are actually pretty good, not fine dinning but good taste and carbs on the rail.

Have not tried yet, i stocking up for power outages,,doesn’t seem to have bioengineered ingredients,like some of the other food... Read More

I plan to store these meals for a rainy day and according to the expiration date they’ll expire in 2055.

Price

Bought during an amazon sale and am well pleased with the purchase.

You are paying premium for shell stability, keep that in mind.

A little pricey and i wish you could get a price break for a large order.

Pricey, but i suppose it is to make too.

Shipping

I‘ve purchased several mh buckets in the event that our islands encounter disruptions in shipping.

Received order sooner than originally told which was nice.

One of the guys in the shop bought them because ship food is… questionable to say the least.

Packaging/appearance

They are lightweight, packable and convenient since you can eat out of the package.

They come individually packaged and also sealed in a bucket and just store them in a dry and cool spot.

Competitiveness

One of the few brands that uses actual meat over tvp.

A bit pricey but taste is better than other brands we’ve tried.

It's not the cheapest out there, but it is definitely the best that i've tried.
