If people are looking for MTN house I have good experiences ordering directly from them and shipping is extremely fast thy are out of Oregon.

You can also browse their specials section. I have some in my preps mainly for bug out bags, camping, grab and goes, ETC. I love the fact I can care 7 days of food calories for 1.5 days of MRE equivalent weight In my BOB's.

I know you need hot water but a can of Sterno or other chaffing dish fuel and aluminum pot and some MTN house. makes great food preps for on the go. I am going to want hot water for coffee tea washing ETC. anyway and you can't use MRE heater water for anything else unlike a aluminum billy full of hot water has a bazillion uses.

One more bonus is a can of Sterno/chaffing dish fuel fits in a enameled tin cup like it is designed for it.

Is that a good price now?

I haven't bought any since that deal on the old GIM forum 4 years ago.

From the September 2007 Idaho Observer:

Mountain House: Food that has lasted half a long lifetime
By Paul James

http://proliberty.com/observer//paulsmountain.jpg

bbPaul James, 85, standing beside some 200 cases of Mountain House freeze dried food. Purchased and trucked all the way cross country from Oregon in 1975, this "mountain" of food was recently pulled down from where it was stored for 37 years. This photo was taken July 29, 2007, moments before the mountain was loaded into a moving van headed back across the country to Idaho

The year was 1975. At that time many Americans were concerned that the Cold War with Russia could turn hot. People all over the country were building bomb shelters in their backyards and storing large quantities of food.

I was one of them. I didn’t build a shelter, but I did order $10,000 worth of Mountain House freeze dried food to be delivered to my home in Virginia Beach, Virginia. When the shipment arrived from Oregon, my family sampled some blueberries which we all liked. After that the food was stored in the attics of our house and garage. There it rested until August, 2007.

My wife and I are in our 80s and our daughters, who live in Idaho, felt it was time we joined them. In August, 2007, we moved with all of our belongings and 227 cases of 37- year-old Mountain House freeze dried food.

First we opened a can of peas. The moment I heard the swish air flowing into the can and felt their pellet-like hardness, I was convinced no air had entered the can for 37 years. The peas were fine. We checked the blueberries and found them to taste exactly as we remembered them in 1975; the strawberries also kept perfectly. Since then we have twice served the scrambled egg mix. The added flavor of butter and salt were perfect to our taste.

Are we again approaching uncertain times that could affect the food supply? Will my decision to "stock
up" during the Cold War 37 years ago soon be transformed from folly to fortune?

In any event, it is an honor to be in a position where I can safely say that freeze-dried food packed by Mountain House in 1975 (#10 cans, six cans per case), is still perfectly preserved after all these years.
Note:

Several sources are reporting that food grains will be in short supply this year because farmers have planted so much government-subsidized, GMO corn for ethanol.

Mountain House is on sale at a few vendors. I am a member of Castle Royal and buy thru them most of the time. Ii just ordered a few cases of the MH BBQ Beef, Rice and Chicken, and Beef Stew, as well as another case of canned butter.

I need to add more shelves and start filling another room soon. I keep at least a 5-10 year supply of nonperishable food on hand and stash more at other locations. If anything, I will make it thru retirement fairly well as I spend my final days hunting, fishing, hiking and camping in the Rockies.

The closest thing I've found (in stock anywhere) to Red Feather is this:

http://www.mredepot.com/servlet/the-708/red-feather-Dutch-H.J./Detail and it is selling fast!

[Heimdhal]

what I REALLY want to find is a single can of canned cheese like j-son used to sell on GIM. Right when I was about to buy a can off of him to try it (as i've never had it) GIM went down. I dont want to commit to a whole case of the stuff if I dont like it ;)

[mightymanx]

You ever had government cheese ?

It tastes exactly the same but it's white.
