Mountain house are camping eats. MRE'S are for stressful tasks. I like the little shoves and small bottles but you can't refill them . I'll keep carrying heavy propane bottle, you can refill them.
I buy the 2 serving and also carry dehydrated pearl potatoe I use half the meal and supplement adding in potato mix it all together and it makes a filling meal and I still have the other half for another meal .I section hike the applachian trail and weight is everything. My total load out weight is 18 pounds that is everything I need. I could lighten it up even more but i carry a few luxury item and will live with the weight. Great video I'm a new subscriber and look forward to seeing more of your videos.
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival they are pricey but I look for bulk deals and can get the cost down I also buy knorr pasta and rice sides they cost a dollar at Walmart weigh next to nothing and are a good quick lunch .
They can be expensive. I have subscribed to there ad space and last year they emailed me numerous sale opportunities. One was for 35% off w/free shipping. That was a steal. I backed up the truck. A later sale had 30% off free/ship at $99. No need to pay retail. Especially now they know everybody is gobbing this stuff up. The buy low sell high theory somewhat applies here. Buy when prices/need is low and get great prices. Use when needed. To buy now would be like purchasing lumber after the tornado. Be prepared ahead of need and buy on sale when no one else wants the products or at least not a run on the market. Takes time but well worth it. IMO Mtn Hse is one of the best freeze dry meals out there. Wise brand the worst.
For the price of a single portion of mountain house I could get a Uncle Ben's chicken infused rice and a can of chicken and get so much more. I myself I have the shepherd's pie Mountain house that I'm saving for better warmer weather. Thanks for the video Matt
I just dont get why some think those meals are so awesome. For what one of those meals cost, you can go to a Dollar Store or Wally world and get a small box Minute rice, a couple cans of chicken, a jar of bullion cubes and container or two of seasonings and have a couple or fulfilling meals. But to each their own. Great job as always. 😉😎👍🧀
Do both. Mountain House needs no rotation and is extremely light weight. Imagine the space it takes to store 3-6 months worth of food for you and a family. When you consider the weight/space factor in transit you will see the light. You can only carry so much/have limited space. Rotation is essential if you really store meals for a few months. Now rotate an entire closet of food, label each can, ect. It's work. If you don't have a closet of food stored then your statement is of no relevance. If you do, then you understand. Try it and prove to yourself I am wrong. But you probably won't, don't. I'll be very happy to be proved wrong and you will be happy to know your family is provided for in time of need. Good luck.
I look fwd to viewing all you vids. You do nice work. But, If you ad hot sauce to everything what's the point. Everything you consume is hot sauce flavored. Not a hot sauce lover so maybe I just don't get it. If I want all my meals to taste the same I'll go back to Wise meals.......na, I'll stick to mtn hse.
PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & COMMENT BELOW. I answer all comments...
Good chow, MRE'S better bang for buck.💸
MRE is totally a better deal. These kinda suck...
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
At least you got it off your work bench and out of the way. A lil Hot Sauce helps out just about anything. Good points and good review. Thanks Matt
You got that right! Thanks for watching
Thank Matt! 👍

True on all accounts...
Well that was easy cook but I’d choose a packet of Uncle Bens and a tin of chicken anytime!
For the same price you could fill your tent with Minute Rice and chicken lol
Matt you are right with few bucks more better off buy mre at least you have many choices and you have a good meal that fill you up.
Some MRE's are the same price as the Mountain House...plus about 3 times more food
I think that flavor is one of the better ones.
I think a $1 bag of Knorr rice would have been better.
Thanks for the video
It was pretty good, only not nearly enough on its own...

Thanks! I like the 2 serving ones also but they are starting to get on the expensive side. I am really trying to lighten everything up...

I’ve tried Mountain House.
IMO they’re expensive and I imagine there’s going to be price gouging given the present climate of things.

Yeah for about half the price you could fill your tent with minute rice and chicken lol. Thanks for the face compliment lol
Looks like just enough to let you know what it would be like if you did have a lunch ...lol
You got that right lol
I never was a fan of Mountain House meals but it sure made a huge difference in my camping meals. It sure beats the foraging and fishing.
I totally agree! They are not the best but they beat nothing by a long shot...
I know I have heard you mention where you get your spoons before, I think it was a dollar store?
I get them at Dollar Tree...they work pretty well...
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival Thanks!
Need to add a can of chicken with that dish
It definitely needed that lol
Maybe a chicken looked at the rice, so they could call it that. How many calories was it? Thank you for the review, Matt. Stay safe
Lol...I don't think a chicken was anywhere near this rice. Not sure of the calories but it could not be very much...

Great point. They are not my favorite either, I can do a lot better in my canteen cup from scratch and get a lot more food for less.
What is the name of that little stove you have there?
It is a cheap $9 one that i got from Amazon. I think the link is in the description but if not I can send you one...
There are two stoves in the drop down description listed but I clicked on each of them and neither was that little one in the orange case you used.

thanks! I don't add hot sauce to EVERYTHING, but most things that are pre processed can use a little kick...
there not bad but one can do the same with knorrs for a fraction of the cost
You got that right, or even some Uncle Bens and a can of chicken would have come in at half price...
Look forward to every Tuesday to see your video!
Glad to hear it!
thank you for sharing, FloridaBoy Survival 🍺
Thanks for watching!
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival you're welcome 👍
The secret? You need to be starving!! Then those have a taste.
Lol...exactly
Much respect to you you actually listen you are incredibly good with your videos 🇵🇷🇺🇸👍🏼✌🏼👊🏼
I appreciate that
I thought today was Monday until I just saw this notification 🤦🏼♂️
Lol...It is always Tuesday somewhere
That's one of my favorites but really not enough to feed me LOL
It does not make very much lol. If I added a can of chicken it would have been great
Them dam things say 2 servings more like 1
Even the 2 serving ones are a little light lol
Will you be doing wood gas Wednesday tomorrow?
Yes sir i will...
That was barely a fill lol
lol
