Everyone says Peak has a 5 year shelf life... I called Peak and they noted they gave that 5 year life as they have been in business for only five years and didn't want to state something beyond their existence as a company. The spokes person I talked with noted their packaging is the same as Mountain house and others. I have no doubt their packages will last years beyond the stated 5! Call them! I'm stocking up!
Fun fact......mountain house started off doing the same thing and as time went on they would test their original packages and adjust the time frame. Now up to 30 years......I only remember it being 7 years wh3n I first became aware of them.
You missed the best meal ever made, Peak Sweet Pork and Rice is good enough to serve your wife on your anniversary. Mtn House Lasagna is really good too. I enjoy all of your content, thanks
I'm typically "Team Mtn House" for cost reasons, but Peak has my attention. Thinking I may need to try their curry and biscuits&gravy, as the Mtn House versions of those are two of my favorites and, looking at my Fall alpine mulie hunt that I drew, I'm probably going to be needing all the extra calories that the Peak options can give me.
mountain house has their "PRO PAK" variety. Also Costco has their "asian style" 24 pack which comes in 4 flavors, at about 7.50$ per pack. They tend to be higher in protein than their other menu items at about 20 grams or higher if consuming the entire pack.
add 1 cup of instant rice to either curry chicken 1 olive oil packet , two tortillas, salt and pepper transfer to ziplock freezer bag and gourmet trail dinner with mega calories for both!
Thank you for sharing this great information. I want to know bad your feet and hands swelled up and how long before you needed the bathroom 😅 Great Job guys. God's Blessings to you all and your family's
The big difference is Mountain House has a 30 year shelf life, while Peak Refuel has a 5 year shelf life. I do use both, Mountain House I store for long term emergency and Peak Refuel I take on our camping trips.
Only 5 years as they've only been in business for 5 years. Not out there making false claims. Next year they'll be good for 6 years. They'll be good in sure 20+ years.
Good morning from the Great State of Texas. What type of work do you guys do? Where is your shop? Do you have an internet site? I enjoyed this video. Thank you for making this type of video. What other video's have you guys made?
Very well put together video, the editing got rid of dead time. I am biased peak refuel is my favorite brand. I do love the shelf life of MH though. However, I always carry some Cayenne Pepper/Red Pepper with me. Both brands could use a little more kick sometimes. MH spaghetti with Red Pepper - wow, one of my favorites.
I prefer Peak refuel because most of them are nearly twice the calories and protein as mountain house. so it helps lower the pack weight if you split the meals into 2.
You are on crack if you think peak beef stroganoff is better than mountain house. I think peak products are overall better but mountain house beef stroganoff is goated!
“Put a little pepper in that and it be better” 🤨 how about yiu just judge the meals how they are… fuck let’s just add bacon to everything it’ll w taste better lol

The public has been needing this video FOREVER!
peak refuel venison country casserole + smoked sausage mixed in is the best thing I’ve ever ate on a mountain

The Peak Sweet Pork is amazing.
@@armourblagreed 👍
What happened to the breakfast skillet 😅 great and helpful video!
right!?!?!? wondering about the Peak, the MH version is def a favorite of mine
Peak destroys mountain house

I agree with you! It’s most cost effective to go with mountain house. Peak does have some delicious food though. Happy hiking!
When you calculate cost per calorie, Peak Refuel is cheaper.

Thanks, Perry!
I have a few dozen mountain house packs in my storage. Two medium boxes filled. Now I’m gonna go get some peok refuel

Q
Now regards to shelf life,
That's a huge difference!
Q ❤
Only 5 years as they've only been in business for 5 years. Not out there making false claims. Next year they'll be good for 6 years. They'll be good in sure 20+ years.
Helpful Video. My three top picks are the Peak Refuel Elk Ragu Pasta and the Bison Ranch Mashers and, lastly, the Homestyle Chicken & Rice.
Glad it was helpful!!
I lived off Mountianhouse for 2 months. The SALT in it CAUSED HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE,I ended up in the EMERGENCY ROOM. TELLus how much salt is in it.
I think you’re supposed to sweat it out lol like eat during activities
Good to know, thanks. So stay active and drink copious amounts of water to offset the intake of salt. 😁
Peak is the best by far. I've tried them all. Really wanted to like Heather's but can never get the right amount of hydration. Gastro Gnome is second.
I’m not sure where you got the info for the Peak chicken Alfredo, on their website it shows 53 gr of protein 870 calories.
You guys need to try Wild Society freeze dried meals. I tried their biscuits and Gravy and it was soooooooo delicious 🤤

Peak Fuel hands down and with a military discount,even better! Wish MH would discount the same.

Makes me mad it's not a blind taste test. Otherwise good info
Agreed.... kinda pointless
Yall should have also compared the cost per meal and the calorie per weight (including the packaging).
Hi! Great feedback. We sent this to our team for the next video.
Would love to get you boys hooked up with the New ReadyWise Pro Meal lineup to try
not even a comparison. Once I tried Peak refuel 2 years ago I haven't bought a single mountain house
LOOK AT THE SHELF LIFE OF BOTH
I prefer Peak refuel because most of them are nearly twice the calories and protein as mountain house. so it helps lower the pack weight if you split the meals into 2.
Peak refuel homestyle chicken and rice is amazing
I am shocked, 4 guys chose the higher caloric meal.
good job guys
I watched this on my phone. The specs were in too small if a font to read on my phone. So I didn't have enough info to make a decision.
They both have good and bad ones, what i do is use peak on my days i need the extra calories.
"Both are really good though!"
Just so you know beef stroganoff is made with sour cream.
Very expensive compared to mh.
Where is the chili mac?
That's a great one!
You are on crack if you think peak beef stroganoff is better than mountain house. I think peak products are overall better but mountain house beef stroganoff is goated!
