Mountain House Emergency Food Cans

Survival Purpose

Food is one of the top survival priorities. We strongly recommend having ready-made dehydrated foods on hand. Whether you need to grab-and-go or alternate ready made meals with cook-from-scratch meals, having food that can be prepared in minutes with only hot water is a huge plus.

We've tried Mountain House emergency foods. They're great. We take them camping all the time. They make the perfect backpacking meal because they're light weight and very tasty. We love the lasagna.

These cans offer a couple of weeks of food for one person. We store bins of dehydrated foods along with raw foods. We practice preparing them frequently and rotate the stock so we never risk getting to the 25 year life.

What We Like

• Just Add Water - whether camping or surviving, you can have a hot meal ready in minutes by just adding hot water. 
• Taste - these meals are great. Buy some to try. 
• Shelf Life - the dehydrated food lasts for 25 years
• Compact Storage - the bins contain tightly packed, individual pouches of food. You can stack the bins to minimize space.

Tips and Recommendations

• Rotate stock - make sure you don't have to throw food away at 25 years
• Raw foods - also storge raw foods (grains, etc) 
• 1 year - it's recommended you storge 1 year of food supplies and the means to prepare the food
