5 out of 5 stars Great for multi-day backpacking trip   March 29, 2009

I took this kit, along with some additions (Clif Bars, trail mix, Top Ramen, oatmeal, etc.) on a 5 day backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada. These were the perfect hot meals that were easy to cook up, just put the right amount of hot water in the pouch and zip it up and wait. Cooking, then adding one of the veggie pouches filled our bellies nicely at the end of the day. Breakfasts were light, yet filling enough to get you started on the trail in the morning. Do pay attention to the calorie count though. This pack will feed you for 72 hours in an emergency, but not at the full amount of calories you need over time.

Read the hiking magazines or visit the outdoors stores and you will see that Mountain House is the premier maker of hiking meals. I bought this item because we were going hiking for several days and it's easier to just buy this collection than individual packets. The kids like the meals, and my kids are picky as heck. If you wanted meals for an emergency this would be perfect as well since it has a shelf life of something like 10 yrs.

The meals are great! Good tasting and essential... well balanced meals. I live in N.W. Florida, and we have had a number of hurricanes put the power out for days... 2 1/2 weeks when Ivan hit. This is much needed in times like those, and hurricane season begins June 1st this year. Be prepared!!!

Mountain House 72-Hour Emergency Meal Kit
This food is amazingly good. We purchased this to add to our earthquake preparedness kit, but we tasted the stroganoff before we filed the rest away. It was surprisingly yummy.



5 out of 5 stars 3-days? in there?   August 5, 2010

all i can say is that i was absolutely and completely amazed when i got the package - i thought it was the tiny little emergency crank up radio from red cross that i had ordered - but it was food! three days worth - tucked into little pouches into a little box that would so come in handy when disaster finally struck... thankfully, it hasn't happened, yet, but we're still early in this year's hurricane season, so i'm not holding my breath - i'm just getting prepared! my dad, who works for the emergency communications in our county, says i'm doing the right thing and he's glad that i've thought to prepare myself for whatever may come... living in charleston, sc, i'm no stranger to hurricanes so i know what it means to be prepared and what it means to be caught with your pants down... having spent several years in boston, i also know what it's like when you get hit with a nor'easter... in both cases it can become pretty difficult to strike up a decent meal... i'm hoping that my little box of food becomes the best insurance policy i ever bought!
