Mountain HouseAdventure Weekender Kit | Freeze Dried Camping & Backpacking Food | 12 Servings

we've used this brand for several years and all the dinners we've gotten have been very good and very filling!

Took this Mountain House weekend kit on a remote camping trip last summer. No duds in the bunch - everything was actually edible, which is saying something for freeze-dried meals.Only real issue? The water measurements and sitting times seem more like suggestions than rules. Had to play it by ear - some meals needed extra time, others ended up a bit soupy.What you need to know:- All meals actually palatable- Good variety in the kit- Easy to prepare- Water ratios need adjusting- Pack works for a weekend- Simple enough to makePro tip: Start with slightly less water than suggested - you can always add more, but can't take it out.Bottom line: Solid choice for weekend camping trips. Just be ready to experiment with water amounts and timing.

Great prep kit. Meals taste good and last forever. Buy it.

These are great for my Scout when they go backpacking. Packs small and light, and tastes great once prepared- all you need is water and heat

Solid deal depending on price at time you are looking to buy. So definitely do the math on buying individual meals before purchasing. It was cheaper to buy this kit for me.All info below is based on tastes of our group of 4 after section hiking the Appalachian trail.Breakfast skillet-we all liked it to varying degrees. The eggs are the worst part as they are tasteless almost styrofoam in nature. But the overall flavor was solid and it definitely was a nice energy boost for the tough hikes that day. A C+ grade but all 4 said they would eat again.Granola with blueberries/milk-only 2 of us had this one and both thought it was amazing. Something we would eat at home. You need COLD water though in my opinion (we captured enough cold rain but boiling some and putting it aside to completely cool would work). Hot water still works obviously but hot milky granola didn’t appeal to us at the time. A+ grade for flavor. Felt like home but at 2800 feet of elevation. Well done.Beef Stoganoff- 3 of us had this one and all really liked it. Very filling and flavor is really good. The meat adds to it not just a styrofoam tasting filler. All 3 of us would definitely eat this one again without a doubt. A solid B+ Overall but me personally would give an A.Rice and chicken-I was the only one to have this one. My rating is a solid B+ due to flavor and the fact the chicken had flavor as well. Some meals like chicken fettuccine the chicken is like styrofoam but not the case here. Small bits of chicken that added flavor to the bites. Enjoyed it and would eat again next time.

We love these Mountain House meals. Always great quality

Good enough for nights when I'm just too wiped out to cook. Easy, quick clean up. Perfect for keeping trips to the wild simple. Will purchase again.

These pouches are convenient, if only one keeps in mind the length of time the meal takes to get ready. Unlike other similar trekking meals, these take a whopping 14 minutes to be ready, so if one needs to eat as a matter of urgency (low blood sugar, for example) they are NOT suitable. This is very important information for many. Though ultimately tasty, I had to rush in with a Snickers bar while the meal was taking its sweet time to get ready!
