Why buy mountain house? They are way too expensive, and you can DIY meals of the same quality by buying supplies from "Doomsday Prepper" type websites and piecing together a few freeze dried veggies with some freeze dried meat and some Ramen plus seasoning. Meal for $3. Much more economical especially when you are eating a couple weeks worth every year. One place where I make huge savings in my hunting budget! Buy bulk and make a ton of meals at once for even cheaper, not like they are going to expire with a 30 year shelf life.
