    Mountain back packing food.

    Hi fellow hunters just getting ready for my mountain hunt for grizzly and caribou.
    So getting ready to buy some mountain house food products.
    Was hoping to get some info on what flavors are good and bad.
    Thanks Slyfox.

    Mac and cheese product is terrible. Chilli mac and beef stroganoff are good, same with lasagna. Those are my favs.

    Turkey tetrazzini good, potatoe meals negative (buy powdered galic flavoured spuds by Idohoan - yum with sliced heart or liver). They make a pack that has black beans in title, stuff nearly killed me sharing a tent with a guy who had a serious gas reaction to it... Twice!

    Simple choices but some of the better ones of Mountain House - spaghetti with meat sauce, lasagna, chili mac, chicken vindaloo, and the breakfast skillet is not bad in a burrito.

    Try uncle bens bistro rice, takes less water 100ml
    And cooks in 3-4mins. I split up my dinners, 1/2 mountain house, 1/2 uncle bens rice, with some chorizo.
    Less water, less gas to cook, and goes down better than MH. Lasagna, and stroganoff are the MH meal i can stomach.

    The only MH I cant truly get down is the beef stew.

    Ichiban chow mein is 500 cal/package, 2 packages make a good meal. It's cheap, light and has a pile of calories - good to have for a day or two.

    The alpine air stuff is good, doesn't seem to be as much gas associated either.
