If you don't eat, you'll eventually die. Food is important, and it's delicious, so in this video I eat a bunch of survival food. Mountain House isn't really 'survival food' - it's more geared at backpackers, etc, BUT it has a 25 year shelf-life, so it's a great thing to store for a rainy day. Not saying the world's gonna end - but in the event of any type of disaster/crisis, it'd be good to have plenty on hand. I also like keeping some Mountain House handy in case something happens with my camping food - I can always fall back on a bag of the good stuff.

DISCLAIMER! Consult your doctor before attempting to eat 21 bags of mountain house in a week, haha. I am a trained professional ;)
Suicide by sodium. :D
Yes you are. Always enjoy watching
Get some chickens😂
Last Line Of Defense get a case of MRE and go camping for a week. Your gut will never be the same.
Would’ve been interesting to see blood results before, during, and after a week of that stuff. I like the idea of MREs for a week. We became gourmet chefs overseas. One a day was enough to survive.
Cutting the Mountain House meals down with rice or beans is a great idea. I would probably add some Uncle Ben's parboiled rice packets for each Mountain House meal since you can just pour it right in and add water. I believe Uncle Ben's rice is pretty cheap so it'll help add calories and meals for not much extra. You can turn a $10 Mountain House Meal for one person and add $1 of rice and turn it into a meal for two people for $11.
Mr2 Reviews If you’re keep MHM as emergency food, that’s a good idea. But they’re kinda expensive for that. I’d rather keep canned food for emergencies. MHM are great for lightweight hiking and bugout bags.
There’s very little to none of nutrition in white rice…it may fill your stomach but doesn’t feed your body….UNLESS. It’s Enriched rice…they that’s done with flour and ready to eat cereals…where a vitamin pack is dissolved in liquid and sprayed on the void stuff. In which case,,no one with gluten sensitivities can consume…because a gluten flour is used to make a sprayable stick to the food enrichment. Leads me to a question for this company…are any of your packaged foods gluten free..?
Next video title: I was constipated for ONE month 😬
Hahaha
LMAO
Doubt that would happen if he is drinking enough water. Most of the meals are already watery.
Most people believe they will stop you up, but as long as you are drinking the proper amount of water that isnt the case. I have eaten them for a full month before during training with no ill effects in the restroom area.
lmao!!!!
Survived for a week on it after Hurricane Michael, amazing how good it tastes when your hungry! canned chicken and spam mixed in makes it feed more people.
Yea I dont discriminate when it comes to food when I am starving. Everything tastes good at that point lol.
Sounds good with the extras
Taste great when not starving.
Yep, hunger definitely effects the taste of food! So does weed, I understand. Hey, there’s a video idea!
I think taking a quick blood test before and after would’ve taken this experiment to the next level and offered some great health information. Great vid.
Good thinking ...
There shouldn’t be any preservatives or extremely minimal unwanted ingredients. This is because the food is freeze dried. It will inherently last 25+ years with the vast majority of its original nutritional profile undisturbed.
Mike please make a video about raising chickens! Would love to see some tactical chickens 😂
Idk how tactical they'd be, they're pretty dumb creatures, haha.
I prefer tactical roosters. Used to get chased by a couple trying to grab some eggs.
If you want tactical, get some geese.
What kind of attachments would be good on a assault chicken 🐔
They should make laxatives: Mountain Outhouse 😁
fuuuuuunny!
If mountainhouse was made in china that might be true but its made in the good ole U.S.A. I dont think your the unicorn hunter you used to be.
@@MultiCheapguy I never want to be
@@MultiCheapguy Also, * you’re
@@landminehopscotch3617 unicorn or a zebra with a drumstick ice cream stuck to its head so long as you get what I'm trying to say.
I cant believe I just watched 42 minutes of a dude eating freeze dried meals haha AND enjoyed it.this was a good video.
Haha thanks for watching!
TH-cam pro tip: Watch videos at 1.5x speed and then at 2x speed when you're ready.
If ya liked that then check out- steve1989mreinfo. dude literally just taste tests various mre's from civil war era till now
AsTheWheelsTurn Ditto....I enjoyed it....he showed me how it could be done if the grid was down....👍👍
Ha I did too*
Thank you for taking the time to make this video!! You covered sooooo many meals Ive been afraid to try.
Thanks again!!
I'm glad you included the biscuits and gravy. I tried those for the first time a few months ago and was amazed at how good they were
Kirk Harrington . I found them to be good also.
Hard to keep in stock
Says if you don't have food your gonna die. Me: (goes to fridge to get snack before watching rest of video).
Hulphaids Stik'ieds . Me too.😄
Coronavirus hits. "Shit I shouldn't have eaten all my rations!"
@@JOHNDANIEL1 LOL, show me where you can get a $500 freeze dryer and not a one off used or broken one on craigslist or ebay. Until that time, I will disregard everything else in the above post. If you can prove me wrong, then I'll consider looking into what you've stated as fact.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 well I'm definitely with you about the Mormons being completely corrupted and out of their minds, but one thing I do love about them is that they do prepare for emergencies and yes, a ton of survival food is based in Utah however mountain House does everything in Oregon they absolutely do not use Chinese ingredients and they've been around doing this since the '60s and have a long history with our military which I really respect so I think mountain House is Head and shoulders the best company.
It would be nice if MH would design the bags with a fill line inside.
Jim Brown or even outside
but how hard is it to just pour 2 cups?they would probably charge more if they had to add a fill line.....they are already way too expensive.
@@AsTheWheelsTurn it would be nice if the packaging didnt look like dog food
Dude 100% because the water has to be exact otherwise it pulls water from your body and you get the runs
Doug Larsen wtf are you for real?
I like that you did this with multiple stoves. Love your videos dude! Thanks for this
Control Tower Studios Gatta let them stretch
Not a weird video at all. I've been curious about these meals...you helped answer some questions. Thank you!
Just fyi, the granola and blueberries is even better if you use milk instead of water, even skim milk.
NOT a weird video at all man, thank you very much, in fact!
I've been wondering about MH, as I've heard so much about it... mainly on SHTF forums.
But hearing first hand from someone that ate it for a week, man... that's something you'll never get from a forum.
So yea. Thanks dude. I loved this video. Thank you!
I’ve always used a little less water on all Mountain House products
Yeah me also. I think it's better like that
Me as well, Stroganoff doesn't lend well to being soupy.
Hell yes you should get chickens again, we have five and love it!
.....I prefer Duck Eggs myself due to the fact that they are richer in omega 3 and protein.☺
My in-laws have chickens and it's my favorite part of going to visit is fresh eggs. We always take a bunch home.
protip, when ready to eat, cut the bag vertically along the seam. you dont need a long spoon and you dont get your hand dirty. also beef stew is the best
Meal 1: "It's pretty good"

Meal 6: "It's pretty good"
Meal 7: "It's pretty good"
Just kidding, good video, nice gear!
John daniel. Freeze dried food doesnt go bad. Their 30 year guarentee is not scam as they have had many test runs s with their food over 30 years. The 30 years Is the longest trial they have had and that is taste guarentee. Those things really never go bad short of the container being punctured.
As far as the conspiracy theory you hold, what solid evidence do you have that all of the companies listed are mormon. Secondly, what do you have against mormons? I'm not religious but you come off as some atheist douchebag. While I agree that a personal garden and livestock would be much better, not all of us can afford that and freeze drying is a very expensive process. Also what you stated is false about mountain house. They are from Oregon and they produce their products domestically. I cant tell you how much they're marked up, but I can say they are far better quality than any other brand I've tried and they are worth their weight in gold for a sort of disaster.
MH Turkey Dinner casserole was my first dinner entree I tried from them. I was very impressed! I bought my box of MH meals from Costco. It's a great selection and cost was decent. I agree they're a little standard on spices, but you can always doctor them up.
I think he did A perfect demo and I will try more Mountain House meals...Great video dude..
I like all the little camping cookers.......hard to believe the water was boiling in just a few minutes
I agree with your recommendation of extending the Mountain House meals with other food items such as rice, veggies, and peppers etc. I have used Mountain House for many years and also find it far to salty for the average human. When I use Mountain House as well as other brands I add lots of water as well as other food item to extend the meal to 5 or 6 servings thereby lowering the salt content per serving. If you bring the right “no salt” spices you can turn the meals into anything you desire. Great video, thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
It is my understanding that the reason why they're so salty is because they're meals intended for Backpackers. Backpacking all day you're working up a sweat and you got to have your electrolytes replenished etc.
In a grid down shtf scenario you're going to need to replenish your electrolytes when your rucking from one FEMA camp to the next.
Mike, the raspberry crumble is a nice change for breakfast 😊
Also the ice cream sandwiches are a tasty snack, though they will make you thirsty.
I’ve JUST started looking into buying Mountain House for long term storage. I haven’t bought any yet but was curious what it would be like to eat this long term, especially since I eat really clean normally. It would have been interesting to hear more about how you felt after eating that for a solid week and what it did to your GI system. Still a great video! I am looking forward to the stove video as well! Appreciate your work!
MH food is pretty good, all things considered. I'd really recommend you try out MRE's as well though (more food diversity + generally better food).
Mountain house is really tasty. Be careful with some of the cleaner more healthy freeze dried meals. They tend to be bland so you may want to keep some seasoning for them. Get as much variety as you can. I keep lots of freeze dried food of all different brands. I poach from what I keep on hand to go backpacking and if I like it I replace it in my stored food and so on. Mountain house has been my favorite overall. But there is a catch. It will make it hard to have bowel movements. I try and drink 5 liters of water backpacking and have mountain house for breakfast and dinner and lunch I have high fiber bread with tuna. Even so I hardly ever need to take a #2. So if you plan on eating this as your go to during an emergency day after day I would also get the variety pack of freeze dried veggies. And keep things to add to your meals. Mountain house is light on veggies and fiber and you need lots of water to drink. Hope this helps.
Thomas Ryan That is very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to explain that. I had kind of assumed but I’m glad to hear that’s what is needed.
Had Mountain House this morning before shooting, it was still dark, I wish I had hot sauce. Yes get chickens, I love the real fresh eggs!
When I go weekend backpacking I go through a variety of Mountain House, Backpackers Pantry and AlpineAire. Just picking the ones that taste the best. I do have a nice BM everytime I eat these though, maybe a bit too good, but I rarely eat these types of dehydrated meals for more than two days.
Dang bro you got a lot of stoves! You should do vid of all of them and rate worst to best.
Great video as always!
Huge MH fan, here.
Back in 2009 during a permanent layoff, I survived on my MH stash for 6-8 weeks, restricting myself to one meal a day. Glad I saw the layoff coming months in advance and stocked up!
Listen to your instincts, folks.
I found that I enjoyed the meals more if I used a little less water than recommended, usually 14 oz vs 16oz. I like more flavor and don't care for watery food.
Yup, and can stretch those meals out way far if you add some staple food like rice or beans to the meals.
i can hear it in the background
"A man ate only survival food for a week, THIS is what happened to his brain"
Chubby Emu?
Bruh!!! ...😂😂😭💀
Hypocalimia, High salt presence in blood.
I remember eating MREs in the military and all the joes fighting over the jalapeño cheese spread. You wouldn’t crap for a week but when you did it was a 🧱.
josh bentley83 I know I just saw this video and I’m like dude in the army we eat MREs for months down range. You can tell whose been through hardships
Once in a great while, I would strike gold and get the bacon cheese spread, and I wouldn't trade it for anything! But I would trade the plain crackers for the wheat snack bread,or sometimes the vegetable crackers. I hate the curry chicken MRE'S!!!
Loving the grey shirt with the big llod logo. You're brave eating that food for a week. Lol. Thanks for the video and the advice.
like all the boiling options you have.. I have a jetboil, butane burner, esbit stove, sierra stove kit (motor/fan died, have to rewire it).. jetboil by far wins the speed contest, but the sierra stove will boil 1 litre of water in under 5 minutes.
I found that interesting. Stove video would be cool, too.
Cool video. Never seen so many ways to boil water :-)
Mountain House is one of the best brands out there, so it was probably a pretty good week!
Mountain house is owned by FDO foods, owned by Endeavor Capitol llc, who tried to take over zoom care + in 2015.
Isn’t it a coincidence that a company who owned a freeze dried food company tried to take over an online health care company BEFORE covid? And after covid, MH prices doubled or tripled. They sold out everything in a couple of weeks, including their year suppliers of food.
Eat rice every day
I switched to rice from toast with my bacon and eggs
The best!
You know they make glue from rice... Eat more vegetables and solid color foods. No white foods.
@@whitealliance9540 irrelevant information. They make a lot of things from a lot of things. They put soap in your vegetables. ...
@@g496r500t I dont care, and I didnt ask for your distinction of relevant information.
I had the chicken and mashed potato meal while elk hunting. It was amazing! I prefer to eat mountain house meals in the dark. The breakfast skillet looked good too.
Old Italian Restaurant Trick. Cheese. Was utensils in cold water first until you can peel cheese off in large clumps. Then rewash in Hot Water to sterilize/clean utensils. Hot water just spreads cheese around.
If you do chickens, do a review of everything. I’d be interested to see how you build the coup and everything.
Chilli mac, chicken and dumplings, grilled chicken and potatoes, granola, and italian pepper steak are my favorites. Lasagna is decent. Not a fan of the breakfast food tho. The ice cream sandwich is awesome. My wife loves having them every now and then just for fun lol
GO GET CHICKENS MATE 🐓
Sounds like packets of hot sauce would be a nice addition. Wendy’s had chilly sauce in packets also most decent gas stations that sell hot food have tapatio or cholula hot sauce packets
Great video!! The granola with milk and blueberries was my favorite when I was backpacking in scouting back in the 80's. Always bring hot sauce when backpacking or camping. I would like you to review some other brands. I tried backpackers pantry and they were not my favorite. Someone mentioned other options at REI. That would be interesting.
Yeah the granola sure is a treat - if they were cheaper, I'd eat them on the regs.
With the blueberry granola, it is much better if you use milk instead of water.
Mountain house burger and fries would be nice 👍😂
Aww so such a sweet comment and nice.
I stock up on the Mountain House #10 cans. I like the taste and variety. Good vid.
My best friend from college and I go on a backpacking trip or two every year, and we ALWAYS do the following (you'll want to thank me): one of us brings Mountain House Beef Stew, the other brings some Idahoan instant Garlic mashed potatoes. We also bring a couple jalapenos and a little hot sauce (usually the restaurant packets of Cholula). Cook it all up, mix it all together, split it up between the two of us... and voila... BACKPACKER'S SPICY SHEPHERD'S PIE!!
OMG YES!!!! Im trying this
I straight up love the beef stroganoff , its just so good, any time I am needing to bring a mountain house meal into the picture that is my first choice. the beef tastes like nicely cooked hamburger and the noodles and sauce are just right. I really dig it. I eat all 2.5 servings by myself no problem!!! most of the time for backpacking food I go for just regular stuff that comes in a bag and you add water and heat, many good soups, mashed potatoes ,noodle cups ect and they are cheap AF as opposed to these freeze dried "packpacker" specific type meals.and honestly they tend to taste better in my opinion. but yeah there are some good MH meals apparently, Ill have to try a few more after watching this.
Would love to see you try Peak Refuel, which apparently is catching on - thanks!
Thanks for the video bro. I seen it at the store but, always wondering how they tasted like lol...
The turkey casserole was the first one I had. Pretty fantastic!
lol "I still have the pallet... of a young child" lol, at least you can admit it
Makes life so much easier and enjoyable. It’s one of my biggest strengths, haha
GF: "he is probably on IG liking girls gym pictures"
Me:
29:52. Yeah yeah. You ordered pizza 😂😂😂
I really enjoyed this video and you’re reviews of these meals. Thanks for making it! And great channel! Love the weekenderlander series🙌🏼
Mountain house also uses real meat. A lot of the other freeze dried companies use fake meat.
Use the ones with fake meat if you are Vegan
Get quail instead. Easier and quieter than chickens.
J.T. Quail eggs are full of benefits. Including working better than viagra.
Is the highblood pressure don't kill you, you will definitely survive!!!!!
I kept thinking my Husky was calling me 😉. BTW, this stuff is not dehydrated, it is freeze-dried, which is much better and lasts much longer. Try Happy Yak if you want something really good.
Correct, I misspoke on that, sorry. I'll have to try some Yak, though I have never had a happy yak (puke). Interesting naming choice they went with...
Rather than chickens, try quail. They mature faster (weeks instead of months to laying), take up less space and provide both eggs and meat.
Or ducks! both are very hardy
I'm not a fan of noisy roosters. Would quail or ducks be better ?
@@saxonsoldier67 you dont need a rooster for egg laying chickens. We have 4 chickens in our suburban backyard no rooster insight and they produce 2 - 6 eggs a day. Ducks are great beacuse they lay all year round at a consistent pace regardless of season, bigger eggs than chickens and if you eat them their meat will taste better than egg laying chickens. Downside is they smell more and require a paddling pool or something to swim in. Potentially noisey, but a noisey bird is a happy bird!
the bags themselves have always impressed me, vessels that can hold boiling water inspire all types of survival uses. would be interesting to explore this concept, ima have to see whats up.
Its ugly dog food looking packaging. It looks like a dog product. The food looks ok
My Dad and I always bring tortillas for the breakfast ones. Makes it easier to share and you get breakfast burritos.
I really liked this video. I has encouraged me to try a few I have shied away from in the past. Thanks for the nudge.
Jeff Davis try em all
Who makes the adaptor to run the JetBoil off of a propane canister?

The Chicken and dumplings is great. The turkey and stuffing is good. The chicken and rice is ok, but mostly just rice.
I would love to see you rate them there at the end as to what meal are your favorites and which ones to avoid.
Glad to see an in-depth review of Mountain House. I feel more confident purchasing some now.
Why have Thanksgiving dinner only once a year? I asked that same question every November. Those meals aren't too bad but, the longer you eat them, the worse they get. I've eaten MRE's for months on end. They get worse the longer you eat them.
Nice done pretty interesting. Next time mix in the MH ice cream sandwiches for desserts and some sweets.
I like how you used different methods to boil your water.. Shows that you can cook without electric...
Can I get the link to the jet boil propane adapter please. Awesome video!! Mahalo as always for all the insight!!!!
Lol at how many different ways you boiled water 😂
I used to love eating mountain house. But given how hard they are to acquire and rhe current climate I cannot bring myself to eat any of my stash.
Did 12 days on Mountain House as an adult leader at Philmont with my son’s troop. They are not bad, but a LOT better on the trail hiking. Thanks for the share.
I am looking forward to the video about the stoves you used!
Put the water in while in a sleeping bag and keep it in your bag for the 10 minutes. Super nice.
Been quite a few years since I had man house meals, glad to see some of them haven’t changed and there are some new one’s. I’ll be having a couple in a couple of weeks when I go away for a few days. Now I will have my real biscuits & gravy that I made for breakfast, seems I got hungry watching you eat.😂 thanks for sharing Mike. And get yourself chickens again, nothing beats free range fresh eggs. And they don’t need refrigeration
Great video! Now I know what to eat and not to eat while hiking/camping :P. I have been watching LLOD for a very long time. Such good quality content. I definitely trust Mike's opinions. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for watching!!
You don't need boiling water to eat Mountain House freeze dried meals. They taste 1000 percent better when rehydrated with boiling water, but it isn't necessary. For the eggs, I drain any water out of the bag before eating. Lastly, you can cut the top of the bag off when its ready so you don't have to have a long spoon. The elevated sodium in the meals helps when you are out in the field burning calories, so if you are lethargic and eating Mountain House, it may not be the healthiest, but they are the best tasting of any freeze dried meal. For the chicken breasts with mashed potatoes, take the chicken breasts and break them up into pieces before you rehydrate them. That way all you have to do is add the mashed potatoes to the patties and eat out of the pouch. I love the granola and blueberries, but with hot water.
Get some freeze dried chickens and add water when you need them to lay eggs.
😂👍
Just tried Mtn House for the first time a couple weeks ago while we were out n the woods. Had the chili mac. It was pretty decent
Yeah, can't really go wrong with the chili mac!
Same. I was at a sporting goods store looking at hunting gear on my lunch. Figured why not. Actually pretty good.
Try the pasta primavera. Legit and not as salty as MH tends to be.
Each bag actually has 2 servings. I remember years ago, I went camping and I survived on 2 bags of mountain house freeze dried food a day and I did just fine.
You didnt "survive" lmao you were camping 😂😂😂 go into the wilderness and randomly light half your gear on fire.
Then survive that
@@whitealliance9540 lol "light half your gear on fire" I'm not sure why anyone would do that in the first place hahahaha
@@silverwindspirit to test your true survival skills. You can also just take 2 days worth of gear and stay a week... I wanted my example to feel more... Real
Tbh I really enjoyed this whole video 🤙🤙
I've been saving up Mountain House #10 cans and pouches for years now... But have yet to even try any. I figure that if I ever need them, they will taste great lol. It's better than starving! I'll keep packing these away.
Great video and spot on intro “if you don’t eat, you’ll die”. Love your channel! Only wish some of the amazon links were updated with alternative products when they are no longer available. That would be a task though! Looking forward to seeing your other content.
Always have hot sauce on hand and you will never go wrong.
I have 3 (18 X 18 x 22) boxes of Mountain House meals, along with some Backpacker's Pantry I have been collecting for about 3 years. Every time I go to Walmart, Sportsman's Warehouse or Big 5 Sports, I grab one of these meals. That is the kind of prepping I do.
I wonder when it becomes total S.H.T.F, after about a month I cant as look at a Mountain House in the Face.
What’s your favorite stove for heating this up? The jetboil looks super fast, but you gotta pack your fuel
that dehydrated chicken patty is very impressive
Wassup !!! Didnt lose any weight bro !!! Looks like you can make it if you have to
Yeah I really should have weighed myself before and after, but I think I stayed about the same.
Thank you I really liked watching this and getting your feed back.
how much did it cost you to eat 3 meals a day for 7 days, I've been looking into a way to bunker down for about a week's worth of MRE's for myself, my wife, and my baby, just for a possible grid down polar vortex situation
Enjoyed this! Was pleased to see your take on eating Mountian House for a week wasnt horendous. And that as a prepping food it's a solid or at least tolerable option. I've eaten Mountain House for backpacking but always wondered if it would work as a more long term sustainable food regiment. The weight savings for me is a plus. I've been wanting to put together a portable food storage cache to supplement the stored canned food that I have. Was thinking about using one of my big plastic water resistant husky tool bins with wheels and filling it with Mountain House meals and other light weight shelf stable food items. This way I'd have maybe a 50lb wheeled food bin ready to go for any reason.
Great video! Thanks for The education on what to expect with Mountainhouse meals! Hope you recovered from the salt overdose!
