These are really more for backpacking than for prepping. That's why they're in individual pouches rather than in bulk cans. Lots of backpackers like these, as you can have a decent meal just by adding hot water.

Quote from sillar68 :
This is about 2500 calories for $70 plus tax. That's good for 2 days worth of calories in emergency mode, 3 days if you're really desperate. Try to spread it out over any more days and your body would think you are fasting.

Think your math is a bit off there. You may not be multiplying by the number of pouches and servings per pouch. Total calories is 7,500. Which is more like 3-4 days.

I get my meals from Mountain House.
My coffee from Maxwell House
My music from Columbia House.
And my kicks from RoadHouse.

Quote from fronk777 :
Even so I've seen videos on Youtube of ppl eating 40 and 50 year old Mountain House and they were amazed at how good it tasted.
I hope the 50 year old technology didn't degrade. Even then, I wouldn't risk my life consuming a half-century old stuff.

The granola is really good. The lasagna is pretty good, but the cheese sticks to a fork like you wouldn't believe.
The wife and I have a reasonably large rotating supply of rice and beans and a few other things. We don't eat rice and beans straight, they're part of recipes. If SHTF then we won't be able to get the other ingredients. Our rice and beans become really boring, and lack the dietary variety we need long term. Mountain House provides variety to go along with the cheap staples. The best part of this setup, buying in bulk is cheap. Freeze dried food isn't that expensive if you only buy it on sale and not when people are panic buying during a crisis.

Some people really need to get out and/or change the channel on the TV.

Tell me you're not a backpacker without telling me you're not a backpacker.
Tell my you're a section hiker without telling me you're a section hiker. I thru-hiked the AT this year and most thru-hikers were eating mostly food you buy from a grocery store. Mountain House meals were things you saved for a treat on a bad day or if you were a retiree, platinum blazing. I knew a hiker that did the whole AT eating mostly sour patch kids and cheezits. I was shocked at the time but after looking up the nutritional makeup of cheezits, they're not bad.

So, this is all of 7500 calories or 2-3 days worth of food for one person with strenuous activity.

Almost down to pre-pandemic prices. These boxes (and buckets before) used to be around that price MSRP. I remember several years ago getting a bucket of these for like $40 on sale.
I remember several years ago that gas was $2.50 a gallon.

that "mouth watering" lasagna might make me glad the world was coming to an end.
All of these are actually very tasty.

I bought this lack about a year ago.
Everything in here tastes great and is somewhat filling.
Ok, so I guess that the eggs are less than amazing, but they are still passable.
Might buy some more!

You bought this crap to eat...so soon?
Could have purchased better quality canned/dried/preserved food for significantly less per portion.

my point is, why do people always say something cost less years ago and compare that to today's prices. today's prices are what they are and it's irrelevant what they cost years ago.
