MOUNTAIN HOUSE FOOD! EMERGENCY MEALS!

I remember devouring one of these tasty entrees after an exhausting day of hiking on one of my first camping trips.  Recently while I was perusing my local Army Navy surplus store, I found Mountain House's 72 hour survival pack for $51.50.  Whether you're heading out into the wilderness for a few days or stockpiling for an emergency situation, you'll be pleased with this purchase.

The only prep required for these meals is boiling water!

1. Boil Water - 2 cups max, two much and the food will be too watery!
2. Open bag and pour water inside
3. Close bag (it's resealable)
4. Wait for the indicated time as the food is rehydrating
5. Open the bag and pour out any excess water
6. Enjoy your easy meal!

Eating right out of the bag conserves water that you would to use to wash dishes with and completely eliminates clean up time if you need to be on the move.

Even if you don't plan on using these meals for a while, it's reassuring to know that you've got easy to prepare food available to you for an unexpected camping trip or if you're just feeling lazy!
