RE: The Thirty Day SHTF Test Diet: Day 8
I've always been tempted to purchase a few of the Mountain House products to give them a try but I've always been put off by the price. Will have to look for a sale or just break down and stop being so cheap ;-)
Yes, that's the downside right there. To be honest, a basic emergency-food cache of beans, flour, rice, canned veggies, basic pasta, pasta sauce, basic meat like hot dogs and burger patties (if you have power for a freezer) is a lot cheaper than the Mountain House.
The main advantages of the Mountain House are: a) it's easy to prepare; b) it seems to be nutritionally balanced, which the basic-stores option is not. For the basic option, it's a very good idea to add bottles of multivitamins.
