Mountain house

[Guest copperhead_1911]

I am more familiar with wise. A buddy told me his supplier is running a sale. are these good prices ( plus 10-15% off) 

 

 

 

#10 cans

rice and chicken $20

Chili mac with beef $22

Macaroni and cheese $24

scrambled eggs with bacon $24

Diced beef $33

 

He told me that have the whole flavors but these are what I have been told. I have some wise that I am keeping for my prep food so far, but might add to this.

I saw the title of the post and was thinking of a little cabin up in the mountains. Not sure on the food pricing. I can ask my wife she buys that type of stuff. I am in charge of firewood & firearms.

I thought the same thing, also. But we are always looking for new stuff
to put up.

How packs are those prices for?

[Guest copperhead_1911]

They are for the #10 cans. I have only used wise packs before. I know the cans are basically like big cans that have like 10 or 15 servings in them. I have never even tried mountain house. 

 

Does this site have a group buy section? Heck I might try to get a few people in on some volume

Mountain House is good stuff.  Shelf life likely equal to the lifespan of the shelf.  Actually tastes like food. 

The go to website for purchase is Emergency Essentials.  They frequently have sales on certain items.

 

Volume purchasing gets you free shipping. 

 

I have used probably 3 or 4 cases of varied #10 can products, haven't run into anything that wasn't first rate.  I keep meaning to get a vac sealer to repackage contents, as you can cut the price of the individual serving meals (check wally world and bass pro) used by campers/hikers by 80%.

You will find the best prices at Thereadystore.com They run sales at least once a month.

 

During Sept the had 40% off all mountain house.

I have been buying and stocking up for over 5 years now on anything with extended shelf life and will rotate it as it gets close to expiration time and use it. I made a list of things and have them stored in totes not counting what I have in cabinets in kitchen. Also might want to mention if you have a pet, that you will be needing food for make sure you put food back for them also. .........jmho

Holy Cow

 

I need to get some of this stuff and sell it. Those prices are all over what the places recommended. Man I did not realize how expensive this stuff was at other places till I checked those sites.

Isn't Mountain House the brand that some Walmart locations sell in individual servings in their camping section?  Well, used to, anyway - come to think of it, I don't recall noticing any of it, lately, and could only find the 'emergency food' bulk setups on their website but some of them may still stock it.  I think that I have seen it in individual serving pouches in the camping sections of other stores, too - like maybe Bass Pro/Outdoor World or Gouger Mountain, maybe Sportsman's Warehouse, for instance.  Just thinking that if the OP could find a couple of the individual servings to try that might help make the decision on whether or not to order some of it.

I have seen it in walmarts. The serving size is sometimes different than the packs you buy from mountain house, but you can get a chance to taste it.

Wal-Mart started selling individual Mountain House entrees about 6 months ago. You can find them in the sporting goods section. Competitive prices but you will get a better deal when ordering online. 

 

And as someone mentioned, buying 1 or 2 is a good way to test them. My GF and I ate one a few weeks ago while camping and it was surprisingly good. 

 

The eggs and bacon on the other hand were terrible.

Their Beef Stew was surprisingly pretty good.  It may take a little more water than what they recommend and it was a little on the salty side, but if you cut it with added veg or rice it would be fine.

Yes, we sell Mountain House products at Sportsman's. We honestly have the best selection in Chattanooga. I believe we have at least two dozen different meals to choose from. You can get them in individual pouches, buckets, or cans.

I am not 100%, but I am thinking the size is often smaller on the walmart packs on some things. CHili mac and bacon and eggs come to mind.
