Mountain House freeze dried food is perfect for camping trips and emergency preppers, boasting a 30-year shelf life with easy preparation procedures.
Travel Channel’s Extreme Factories gave me the opportunity to tour Oregon Freeze Dry’s plant and learn more about this internationally recognized brand. Here is what I discovered:..
It’s Delicious
Mountain House freeze-dried meals are an surprisingly delicious food option whether you’re camping in the backcountry or stockpiling emergency supplies for an unexpected disaster. While I have heard many complain about their taste (such as in our Adventure Weekender Kit), these pouches actually don’t taste too bad at all!
These snacks may be slightly salty, but they’re similar to what you’d get at a diner after an exhausting hike. Plus, they provide satisfying protein boosts for healthy muscles!
They’re also easy to prepare; just open the pouch, pour boiling water in and wait a few minutes – before enjoying your meal! And their stand-up packaging makes storage straightforward. I believe these stand-up pouches are among the easiest camping foods you can buy for emergencies – more lightweight, compact and with better flavor than many dehydrated options as well as longer shelf lives than competing brands.
It’s Easy
Freeze drying is a process where food is frozen before being freeze-dried rather than dehydrated in traditional cans or dehydrated food containers, keeping its original flavors, nutrients, vitamins, and textures intact while creating a similar taste to its original state.
Mountain House freeze dried meals provide an alternative to canned or dehydrated food products that must be cooked prior to consumption, making it especially useful in emergencies when preparation can’t take place quickly enough. They’re especially convenient in times of chaos or disaster when there’s no power available for cooking your meal properly.
These freeze dried meals come packaged in convenient and easily-opened #10 cans that are airtight and nitrogen-packed to protect from mold growth and rodents, and come complete with an Escape Pouch that makes storing and protecting meals in your pack or kit simple and safe. Their gusseted bottom allows them to stand upright on their own while their fold-back closure keeps meals warm until you’re ready to consume it.
It’s Portable
Mountain House freeze dried meals are lightweight and portable, making them the ideal food storage option for camping trips and emergency scenarios. Plus, their quick rehydration means they’re accessible wherever life may take you! Enjoy them anytime-even while on the move!
Just add water for an easy and nutritious meal in no time – Chicken & Dumplings or Beef Stroganoff may just be what’s on the menu to suit your tastes!
These delicious entrees are prepared fresh before being freeze-dried to maintain maximum flavor and variety for everyone in your family! With multiple choices to suit every palate, there’s sure to be something that everyone will enjoy in these tasty offerings!
Oregon Freeze Dry, maker of Mountain House products, originally sold its items only to government buyers; but today they’re providing supplies to prepper communities nationwide! From families in Florida preparing for hurricanes to survivalists preparing for an apocalypse survivalists have found that freeze-dried foods meet all their needs perfectly.
It’s Long-Lasting
Mountain House freeze dried food provides peace of mind whether hiking through remote backcountry terrain or needing something quickly for dinner in an emergency situation. Their meals come both as standard packages and the Pro-Pak which is vacuum sealed and lightweight – the latter saving pack space in your pack or bear canister.
Frost dried foods enjoy long shelf lives due to being first prepared as ready-to-eat dishes before being freeze dried, leaving only water behind as part of their flavor and texture.
Consumers have long requested long-term emergency food products that taste delicious at the end of their shelf lives, such as Mountain House by OFD foods (the manufacturer). Their freeze-dried products now boast the longest proven shelf life in their category – 30 years for both pouches and cans!
