Mountain House Emergency Food Freeze-Dried Hearty Beef Stew, 10 Servings is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 16.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kable from Best dang freeze-dried food on the market most freeze-dried food SUX! with out a LOT of doctoring..but this stuff you can eat right out of the can, well if you add hot water. NOW add a little "doctoring" season to taste, some fresh meat, vegetable stock.. and this stuff is like home made!

Rated 5 out of 5 by TomServo5 from Impressive quality and flavor I bought this to see if it will hold up to it's reputation and to have some emergency food around. Well I find this product to be first rate. I'm not sure how long it will last, and it says that you must use it after opening it, but we've had several meals with it and it tastes great! That was a surprise for sure, most of these freeze dried products lack flavor. Easy to prepare. Be aware that if you're buying these for emergency food you'll need hot water, unlike MRE's which are ready to eat, you have to add hot water and let it sit for a while to prepare the stew. Nonetheless a great item to have around. I intend to buy more in the future. Cans were surprisingly light but the meal isn't!! Using their recommended serving sizes I found the meal satisfying. Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bob C from great start!! the Sportsmans Guide is a great place to start getting your prepper supplies!! I found multiple ready to eat emergency food vendors at the Sportsmans Guide. I plan on buying several choices from each vendor and trying them out comparatively.

Rated 3 out of 5 by ECstyle from Good enough to eat It approximates beef stew, but the texture is odd. With eyes closed, you can't tell if you're eating potato or pea.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Doug from Large can Have not tried the food as the can is very large and once opened it will not be as good for storage. I had expected the 10 portions to arrive in more individual style cans for easy transport in a backpack or for single use. Problem now is that if I save it for an emergency or camping trip I will not know for sure if it is going to be worth the wait.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kable from Love Moutain House Best dried food on the market, I but in bulk and then vacuum seal in smaller travel bags. The stew is excellent and when it comes time to rotate stock i just take the packs into work for lunch. works great if you throw it in a thermos in the morning and let it sit till noon. Great hot lunch at my desk.

Freeze-dried food should be kept in storage that stays under 75 degrees. The cold does not affect the product adversely but the heat will and if the heat is higher than 75 degrees you start to lose out on the guarantee of up to a 30 year shelf life. So basically avoid hot temperatures as much as possible. <div class="bvseo-author">Answered by: Jim Product Specialist</div> <div class="bvseo-pubdate">Date published: 2018-04-10</div> </div> </div> <div class="bvseo-question-answer" data-questionid="2292812"> <h2 class="bvseo-question"> After the can is opened, does it change the shelf life of the unused product? </h2> <div class="bvseo-question-detail"> </div> <div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: Chuckalufagus</div> <div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="2595355"> Thank you for your question.
