Mountain House Foods
Your Best Freeze Dried Foods Option

Those colorful food packs show up in various places of our home, especially in camping backpacks.

My husband always stores his extras in there so whenever we take off on an impromptu camping excursion, there are always a few Mountain House packages begging to not be left behind!

As far as I know, they are the only company that mixes the seasonings and everything into ONE compact little pack which makes it really nice for when we are out in the woods, all we have to do is heat a little water and add it. You can actually add your water straight into the food packet, if you want to.

We usually have a small kettle that we use to mix it in. Which reminds me, make sure you add a few pots and pans to your emergency survival list!

Some of the mountain house foods are better than others, of course, just as in ANY kind of food... so if you are planning to stock up on any of the Mountain House foods, you may want to get a few varieties once to see what you like best and then order the bigger amounts to add to your emergency survival food stock.

Our favorite place to get Mountain House Foods is Nitro-Pak as they have some of the lowest prices and they have FREE SHIPPING, which is huge as the food units are so heavy and costly to ship.

If you are planning to purchase your food storage units I would highly recommend getting them SOON as just a few weeks ago they were way behind on getting orders out, but are getting caught up again.

The latest update as of 6/09 is that they are shipping orders within a few days.

All it takes an emergency situation to throw them back into a several month back-order scenario - don't be the ones waiting on your food supply!

Before You Buy ANY Freeze Dried Foods Units...

Be careful WHERE you get them.

There are companies out there offering what they are dubbing a One year food reserve but when you read the fine print and look at the calories, etc, it is way below what you will need to actually survive for a year!

Actually one company was selling a Mountain House Foods unit, but they didn't list the amount of calories and come to find out the calories were waaay less than what is recommended in that size of a unit.

They only had about 800 calories per day in their so called bargain reserve where some of the best 1 year food reserves that we have seen provide over 1800 calories a day - and the strange thing is the bargain unit wasn't much cheaper!

According to the FDA, the average adult male in the USA uses about 2400 to 2600 calories per day and females about 2000 to 2200 calories per day. Your food reserve should reflect this daily average, too.

So, in conclusion, while we all want the best deals as we start our food stockpile for emergencies, we do need to be cautious and check some of those things out before we invest our money.

Look closely at what they are calling a 'Year Supply Food Unit' Most dealers will want you to know this, but there is NO SET STANDARD as to what constitutes a 'Year Supply' food unit... none.

This is where many people get really taken advantage of. Because there is no standard, you could get anything. I've seen so called 'year supply units' that had as few as 48 cans of food.

Know what you need and Know what you are really getting!

At a recent preparedness expo, a company was offering a '2-Year Supply' for only $1,400. Wow, what a good deal it looked like at first glance. What a bargain? Only 64 cents a meal. Now let me candidly ask you, when was the last time you ate a meal for just 64 cents? This unit had only 10 cases of food for a full year.

After looking closely, the truth was revealed... it had just exactly 12 cans of sugar and 48 cans of powdered milk?!

Don't make that mistake! Get YOUR Food Supply at Nitro-Pak and be safe! :)
