5.0 out of 5 stars We love Mountain House meals
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2023
We spent 4 days Scamping on Porta Aransas Beach and didn't have to do any cooking except to heat water. We love these meals. They taste like homemade and are not oversalted like one of the other brands. Do yourself a favor and buy these for camping, day trips, hiking or prepping. The price is right and if you buy this on sale, each serving will be even less. Just do it!!! Mountain House meals was recommended by a friend. We are so blessed.
