Mountain House® Freeze Dried Food

Can your family survive if there is a food emergency?

What if your electric power is knocked out for several days by a storm? Or a natural disaster? Or a financial crisis? Having some kind of food storage protects us the same as auto or home insurance - for those unexpected times. The easiest "food insurance" you can buy is freeze dried foods.

My personal preference is Mountain House products. I bought the pouch size to try before buying #10 cans. I like to taste before stocking up. They were as good as any home-made meal I could cook up myself.

And they're easy to prepare - just add hot water...wait 10 minutes...and eat! A one-burner stove or candle will heat the water but room temperature or cold water can be used too.

Freeze dried foods require much less water and fuel than most fresh, frozen or dehydrated foods. In an emergency situation, both water and fuel may be in short supply or non-existent.

Freeze dried food lasts up to 30 years in #10 cans!

No need to rotate these foods. Mountain House freeze-dried foods are packed in airtight NITROGEN PACKED #10 cans or pouches. Up to 98% of the residual oxygen has been removed. The unique canning process uses both vacuum oxygen removal and nitrogen flushing. This is a time consuming and slightly more costly process...but well worth it. This same process is mandated by the U.S. Military. They also use our products.

Their foods have the longest shelf life available...up to 30 years! Mountain House has been around for 40 years so they know first hand. Each of their cans is coated with a protective enamel inside and out for double protection, including the lid. The can's contents are protected until you are ready to open and use them. After opening, they should be used within 1 to 2 weeks for best results and taste; using the convenient resealable plastic lid between uses. Treat any leftover food as you would fresh food.

They taste just like freshly prepared foods!

I think Mountain House® freeze dried foods taste much better than competitive products. Why? Because they actually start with fresh or frozen foods, then cook and prepare them, and finally freeze-dry them. (Want to know how they freeze-dry food? Check here.)

They taste home-made - as if you had just made them from scratch yourself. Most other food companies don't freeze-dry or cook their own foods. They blend the dry components purchsed from other companies and package them. Mountain House foods taste as close to fresh, frozen, or better, as you can get. Backpackers consistently rate Mountain House #1 year after year as the best tasting foods - and the preparation is SO easy.

You need at least 72 hours of freeze dried food.

Having a reserve of Mountain House® freeze dried food makes a lot of sense—both for financial and security reasons. Use the pouches for short-term emergencies or camping and the larger cans for potential extended emergencies, or an emergency situation affecting a lot of people.

Isn't your family worth it?
