4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect, August 13, 2008

Ok, the product is fine as advertised. It's an emergency supply of food for 1 adult for 3 days (remember to have enough water). I like to bring Mountain House packs with me when I go motorcycle camping or backpacking. They're light, easy to pack, and I enjoy them. Sometimes they take the role of "just in case" food, and sometimes they serve as a planned meal. The chili mac with beef is a personal favorite, as is the beef stroganoff. I'm not particularly fond of beef stroganoff usually, but there's something about a savory meal when camping. Mountain House meals typically taste better than many of the freeze-dried alternatives.

So why did I say "almost perfect?" Well, I'd prefer it if they sold this kit with the 2-serving packets. I'm usually moto-camping or backpacking with someone. It's super-convenient to have one package for two people. Less waste. On the plus side, it's not 5-serving packages like some other emergency kits. Since it's advertised for one person, this is...

4.0 out of 5 stars 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... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Only if you aren't really hungry, October 18, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Mountain House 72-Hour Emergency Meal Kit (Sports)
Although the food quality is decent - and the packages should last for a while, it's a bit deceptive to say that a TOTAL of about 2500 calories is adequate for a person for three days. Unless you're on a really tight diet. For a short term like 72 hours simply keep some canned food around (or some MRE's) and you'd do much better. If you insist on camping (dehydrated) food - simply buy a few of the real meals from this company. At least you'll be eating enough to keep the stomach rumbles down.
