I have enjoyed Mountain House for years. Peak Refuel is the new kid on the block and has definitely raised the bar for freeze dried food.

The big difference is Mountain House has a 30 year shelf life, while Peak Refuel has a 5 year shelf life. I do use both, Mountain House I store for long term emergency and Peak Refuel I take on our camping trips.

[@jilbertb]

Yeah, the shelf life was not mentioned here. If you're actively using it for camping trips, Peak is good. But if your looking for long term storage, Mtn House is the way to go.

[@TheJC1988]

Actually peak is expected to have the same 25 year shelf life as mountain house. Peak has only been around for 5 years so technically they can’t say 25 years as it’s not been tested for as long. They are made exactly the same as the mountain house though. Don’t believe me give Peak a call or email and they will let you know 😉

My daughter and I did a four day backpacking trip around Mount Adams in Washington state. I ended up grabbing a mixed bag of some familiar Mountain House meals and found Peak Refuel. It was a little more expensive and I was skeptical but was pleasantly surprised and it quickly became a favorite, especially the chicken pesto pasta.

[@55Quirll]

The best thing to do is check the history of your area and what the conditions were like - blizzard-wise, flood-wise, wind, and such which would make it difficult for you to get to the supper market. Start stocking up right after the normal disaster has passed - noting how long it had lasted and then buy food slowly for that period. 1. Freeze Dried - you have plenty of water to heat up. Taste the food you buy to make sure you like it. 2. MREs, canned food, none perishables - should your utilities go out, stock up on water and wood and a camping stove to cook on 3. Daytrexf or such - when you have to leave or haven't stocked up on the others. Better to have something rather than nothing. Remember to do this slowly so that you don't put a strain on your finances and get curious looks at the supermarkets and grocery stores. Love your videos and the comparisons that you did and the ones you have done with all the Mt. House and Peak Refuel. Good luck and stay well.

[@MeliTX]

Great scoring system!

[@viprcuisine241]

Absolutely love your videos fellas! I’ll say though is it fair to compare it to home cooked food? I think it should just be compared to freeze dried/emergency foods.

[@Equip2Endure]

Thanks for watching @VIP! Fair input. We were trying to come up with some sort of objective standard to compare options to. Many have this idea that they are buying emergency food to just keep them alive and put no thought into its nutrition/taste. If you are truly preparing for a disaster and you are buying food for that purpose, why not buy food that is as close to a tasty, homemade (comfort) meal as possible?

[@Husky610]

Just subscribed after watching a couple of videos. You guys seem to rate the foods fairly, even after changing your method here. We just got a few of the Mountain House meals to taste test as a family and will try a few of these ones next. Thanks for the reviews!

[@johnmcshane401]

[@Terpedup925]

I’m thinking of getting a harvest right freeze dryer so I can make my own. Yea they are around $2,000 but it will pay for itself in the long run. Buying all those freeze dried food will be expensive if your buying them all the time.

[@TheRyantanner]

Peak Refuel is solid and you can't beat the consistency across meals... no matter what meal you have you know its going to be pretty good, depending on the meal heathers choice would give them a run for their money (but not a long shelf life), stowaway gourmet has a few good ones too. I agree with your assessment of the egg breakfast meal.... I've had a variety of freeze dried breakfasts from different companies and no company gets it perfect, the eggs seem to hold that freeze dried taste.

[@Equip2Endure]

Thanks for watching and chiming in, Ryan. There are a couple MH options I think are better, but Peak is at the top of the heap in our humble opinions. -Rusty

I just tried the granola and strawberries, and added some blueberries… Yum… first time ever tried dry food packages. Really I don’t think I could tell a difference if I made it at home.

[@jayc6159]

Peak is delicious and if you need a few meals for backpacking that would be ok. I wanted to have enough freeze dried food for several months so financially for me it made more sense to spend the money on a freeze drier.

I’ve eaten many different varieties of Peak Refuel freeze dried meals and they are all Very Good! But the Biscuits and Gravy are my #1 favorite!!

[@Equip2Endure]

Thanks for watching and sounding off, Chuck! The tough part about these food comparison videos is trying to provide valuable information that people want that they can't really get unless they try it themselves (a vicarious taste-testing). We figured they could look up specific product info if they need it (calories, sodium content, protein, etc). We've been on hiatus for a while but will be making videos again soon. Hope to see you around! -Rusty

[@patrickmooney4895]

It may be just me but I can't find the shelf life of these products - Where is it located on the packaging ?

[@jimbeachsr697]

I ordered the beef stroganoff, which doesn't look like what you are testing. and it has a very powdery taste. My advice to anyone, add a tad more water to it, add some salt or garlic salt, pepper mix well let it sit for 25 minutes, not 10. tastes better after being doctored.

[@1990westfalia]

I’m sorry if this has been asked already and is the comments, do the meals really have two portions? With considerations to hungry hikers/campers? How does the price compare to others talking quality? Thanks for the review. Skillet

[@zitriphyer8429]

It's technically 2 servings per bag, Though, like everything else. It is horribly inaccurate. It's one serving. However that does depend on what you need for calories. If you need all the calories you can get, peak is about 1100 per bag, while mountain house is about 600 per bag.

[@TeslaRules1856]

Is it on the same level for emergency food ? Can you confirm the shelf life of 5 years for Peak vs 30 year for Mountain House ?

[@Equip2Endure]

I had the same question and asked the owner. (I'm paraphrasing the following) Peak Refuel - "We use the same packaging material and process and Mountain House. It should last just as long." ME- "Then why didn't you put that on the label?" Peak Refuel - "Because we don't want to be branded as an emergency food. We want people to eat our meals and not just stuff them in their storage room for 30 years." I don't agree with their reasoning, but it's not my company. They are really trying to be the premium "adventure" meal. Not an emergency food. I will say this though... if I have to choose only one, I'm picking Peak Refuel. For real. -Rusty

[@robbygillies4665]

For the biscuits & gravy. Try breaking the biscuts into chunks before adding liquid. Might help

[@mrhalfstep]

I don't know if taste testing canned soups is really your primary theme, based on the videos I've seen so far, but you do talk a lot about "camp" meals and filling foods for hunting outings, which will usually involve some sort of conveyance that takes the weight issue down a notch in the overall equation. Lots of outdoor activities involve eating quick meals with little regard for anything other than convenience. Freeze dried meals require water, which has weight, unless you are dipping from a stream and filtering with a device that also has weight, and heating in a container that has weight, you see where I'm going with this. Canned meats, stews and soups can also be tasty at camp and are much cheaper than freeze dried meals, which fill a very specific niche, as in, "foot-packable" meals, IMO. Don't need to worry about that if your on an ATV, horse, donkey ,etc. Canned foods, in general, store for 3 years or more and that will get you through several hunting seasons as "camp stores". Anyway, my point and question is, would you do some comparisons of, firstly, Campbell's Chunky soups, and maybe later, if you get some favorable results in those tests, compare them with other canned soups or stews as to their taste and how filling they are as a complete meal. If you are willing to try them, I recommend that you start with New England Style Clam Chowder and Chicken and Sausage Gumbo and go from there. I and some friends have a fish camp that we keep stocked with Chunky Soups, Corned Beef, Canned Bacon, Canned Turkey, Canned Chicken, etc. You can add those things to soups or stews to really punch them up. Try a can of Libby's Sausage Gravy over some canned biscuits sometime. The biscuits can be baked ahead of time and will last 4 or 5 days in a Ziplock Bag. Just throwin' out some suggestions for camp specific meals that can also be used as emergency prep.

[@ifilmalways7122]

I hear they say these have a 5 year shelf life while others say they have a 25 year shelf life. (They market 5 years as a backpacker food and not long term storage). What are your thoughts on this? Which is correct? At 13.00 a bag, it's a tough call...

[@alexsnowden3291]

I would say 25 years ago was 1997, think of the advancements made in freeze dried food since then. Powered mashed potatoes are way better than they were then. I would say go with Peak or Mount House and just replace them after 5 years. The meals will most likely be even better in 5 years. Unless of course you have those 1-year food buckets, but even then, you don't get much choice with those.
