    Mountain house are pretty good tasting and pack well. Only downside is that you need more water.

    That's always the debate: Do you carry the water separate (freeze dried) or as part of the meal (MRE type)? Overall you'll be dealing with the same weight, it's just transport logistics I think.

    Going to hike/camp where's there are streams with water you can filter? Go freeze dried for weight reduction works...

    My take on MREs: they are good enough and packable but like most have said, it’s better to strip the cardboard and extra plastic wrapping from inside the package before carrying.
    If you have to buy any, my first choice would be cold weather MREs; they will cost more but the main meal and side are mountain house branded meals. Downside is they are freezes dried and require water.
    Next, I would buy totems or training MREs; it’s basically a MRE with out all the extra packaging and a no sides. Most have a main meal, apple sauce and m&ms
    Last, I would look for regular MREs; you know the deal about these so I won’t beat a dead horse.
