Mountain House food is the best I've tried, taste-wise.So is Mountain House the only brand to trust for stuff like this?
Still trying to figure out why they had to turn over purchase records. Other than the tinfoil reasons, which seem less and less tinfoil-y these days.
I don't think anyone is buying this stuff for a primary food source under current conditions.I would take Mountain House hiking, beef stroganoff after a long day was quite yummy, but paying that much for food is insane otherwise.

I look at it this way. You store food for an emergency(*), which doesn't necessarily mean SHTF and can include things like snow storms. In terms if storage, I have three fundamental types of goods: commercially canned, home (pressure) canned, and freeze dried. In a more severe type of event, for example a tornado or quake that damages your home, you will likely lose some of the supplies, but having different forms it is more likely that you won't lose them all as the different packaging all have different risks for loss.Whats so much fun is thats true from a conservative point of view. The other side of the xoin is freaking out and they need supplies. Thats how fear based marketing works. And is the fundamental marketing aspect to the 2ndA culture.

Edit to add: * in case anyone hasn't noticed, food prices are going UP. By having stored stuff and using it as rotating stock, you are also saving money by virtue of what you stored was likely purchased at a lower price.
