Essential Bucket

Best quality buckets on the market worth every penny! Lightweight and tight seal. Easily attached to any pack for hiking. The buckets are great helpful in having intact product after a long hike. The food is fantastic! Quality of flavor surpassed all others.

If you want the best food variety, tastes better than most other brands, ate my entire rations one week before hurricane last year. Easy to make, just add very hot water, stir wait five minutes and stir again, seal and wait another five minutes and wow the most amazing meal.

Good value, storage life is great! Was sealed very well and every meal inside was individually sealed as well. We tried a few a they taste great for freeze dried foods!

Haven’t tried any yet but the bucket is good quality. The meals contains protein which was a must for me. When I looked at a lot of the competitors their emergency kits didn’t have any protein included and a list of empty carbs. This gives me some security. Will update when we try a few of the meals.

Living in a hurricane prone area of the US, we have a good supply of emergency items. We also RV/remote camp quite a bit and take emergency rations with us as well. Great for those late night arrivals or just bad weather and we want something fast and filling. Needed a new container and went first to the actual website and saw the prices and then checked here on Amazon and saw I could save a few bucks on the bucket and shipping. I like this bucket as the selection has the meals we really like. Great shelf life, bucket makes for easy storage.

I have many layers of food storage and dehydrated food is one of them. For that I trust Mountain House. I have this product in pouches and also in cans. Lightweight product that lasts a long time and tastes great. All you need is water to eat it. Obviously I also keep other food supplies in case water is not available and keep water purification in case I need to purify water to use them. A must for any person to be prepared for any situation.

I like the Mountain House brand. I think this is an average deal. Making foods like this for my family is not hard, but this is convenient. The only thing I can say is they need to lower the price or at least add more meat to the meals. The meat is very far and few between. My family always asks where is the meat. I would buy again. Great for fast camping meals that don’t take much to prepare.

Preparing for the Future, Freeze Dried Vegetables last 25+ years. It's a tasty option in a crunch. The packaging was sturdy and undamaged. I have used this brand before and found it tasted pretty good.
