I prefer Mountain House #10 cans with a 25-30 shelf life, as opposed to MRE's which have a max shelf life of 10 years.
You don't want to reach for food, only to see that it is bad. I have some MRE's, but overwhelmingly prefer Mountain House and Provident Pantry.

I certainly agree with the shelf life issue. You are right there. But the calories are not there. That Mountain House is for a lady on a diet. The beef stroganoff which one would expect to provide a lot of energy has less calories in a whole #10 can than a single MRE. 10 servings still has less than a single MRE.
Probably real good stuff, but not for survival, I wouldn’t think.

I’ve got six cans of MH stuff.
I’ve only had it out of the pouch, but it’s good stuff.
