Mountain House VS Peak Refuel - Breakfast Skillet. Which is better?

In this video we compared Breakfast Skillet from both Peak Refuel and Mountain House.
The first thing you notice is the Peak Refuel serving size is WAY bigger! It also looks better than the Mountain House version. However, Janet thought there was too much green pepper and we bough thought it needed spices added.
Has anyone else tried this item from Peak Refuel?
All Peak Refuel Freeze dried food is now available at the following link:

Sounds like the Peak is designed for low sodium diets and is a bit less processed. The Peak has about 50% more food pre-pouch, less sodium and it looks like natural food so it is a winner in my eyes.

But it’s more expensive

[@EpicenterBryan]

That is awesome!

Good morning from the Great State of Texas. I enjoyed your video. I have had both and loved both. I have discovered that adding ketchup and hot sauce dramatically improves the taste for me. Have a good day and be safe.

Thanks for the review. I have really liked the Peak Refuel that I have purchased. I had the venison casserole and biscuits and gravy.

[@EpicenterBryan]

We want to compare the biscuits and gravy soon.

[@arquettelr1981]

I've aways enjoyed your reviews.

[@EpicenterBryan]

Glad you like them!

[@GooseGosselin]

Good real world review, thank you.

[@EpicenterBryan]

Thanks for watching!

[@mauicountygis5450]

Please do a video on how you two met - if you are comfortable doing that. You both come across as genuine and kind people. God bless you.

[@EpicenterBryan]

Janet said she wants to do that in an upcoming video.

[@akswrkzvyuu7jhd]

The big thing to point out is that Peak requires less water than Mountain House. Other than that, it looks like it is time to place another order.

[@EpicenterBryan]

Great. We have both brands in stock again.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I think my Sweetie was needing filters and Harvest Right was very slow about processing so I told her about yall. She now has you down as a supplier. Thanks Guys and camp on!

Great honest review, I'm looking forward to the beef stroganoff review 👍

[@EpicenterBryan]

That one is posted. Sorry for the delay.

[@jimflash7724]

I like Peak Refuel, but their breakfast skillet I do not care for at all unless a lot of spices are added. Mountain House definitely wins that competition. Peak Refuel’s beef stroganoff is awesome, blows Mountain House’s out of the water.

[@EpicenterBryan]

I agree.

[@DeafDalmatian]

Thanks for the reviews! I wish you did them more often. I trust your judgment and also your relationship fun shows through! I have a ton of MH meals but looks like I'm going to need to get some Peak also! Happy camping! P.S. I'm clearly with Janet on finding green peppers over power the other flavors in a dish so prefer less of them in anything!

A lot of these comparison videos fail to pull the food out of the bags. I like that you pull all of the food out of the bags and compare the look, as well as the quantity of food in both. It really makes the difference in portion sizes apparent. The Peak skillet is also visually more appealing (for those of us who don't mind bell peppers). It's got some color pop and you can see the different textures in the blend. The Mountain House skillet looks like mash. I think I've actually had both of these while backpacking, but when you don't see or taste them side by side, it's hard to compare. Regarding the flavor deficit for the Peak (or any backpacking meal) part of my cook kit is a small container of Cajun seasoning. If something is a little bland, the Creole seasoning gives it a little kick and some savory saltiness. Seeing your review, the Peak really is a two person meal. I don't think I could finish that off. I tend to want lighter breakfasts on trail anyway. I would probably be more inclined to try to eat a meal like the Peak for a dinner. I mix it up like that sometimes. Curry for breakfast and breakfast skillet for dinner. Haha. The forest doesn't complain. Hahaha

Nice to see you both…..

[@EpicenterBryan]

Thank you!

[@IamChrisL712]

I love the vs format. Speaking of shredded potatoes, you can buy freeze dried one in a carton the size of a school lunch milk, rehydrate them and fry them. They taste like you shred them yourself. The brand name escapes me though.

Nice video You two. Please do more comparisons between these two companies

Just posted a new one.

[@kumbackquatsta]

peak at least looks like real food

[@EpicenterBryan]

Great eye appeal.

[@mrhalfstep]

Use sage, black pepper and salt in sausage based meals like this. Maybe some pepper flakes?

[@dirk6001]

New video 😀

[@EpicenterBryan]

Yep, a few other new ones too. More to come.

[@chefevilee9566]

If it were me I think that I would buy the peak and pick out some of the green peppers for your husbands lunch or dinner later on in the day😂. Then I would add the spices you did and maybe a little smoked paprika!

[@chefevilee9566]

Well then after you showed how much egg was in the one I wouldn’t get that brand

[@EpicenterBryan]

Sounds great!

[@williamredford4715]

Peak ain't playing around they got me sold sorry mountain house you'll always be in the cabinet bur your gonna have to step your game up

[@EpicenterBryan]

Yep. We really like the Peak Refuel product!

[@godlikegohan2]

$10 meal vs $14 meal

[@EpicenterBryan]

Yep. Price point is important for many people. I for one can make my own since I have a freeze dryer.
