  I ordered the 72 hour emergency kit because I had not tried Mountain House foods before and thought this would be a good way to sample some of their products. I was happy with what I recieved. The meals were just as easy (maybe even easier) to prepare than a heated MRE entree, and the taste was exceptional. I will be ordering some more of these meals for my next camping/fishing trip, and am considering adding some of the larger cans to my emergency food supply. I have used The Ready Store twice now and was pleased with their service both times. Recommending both this site and this product to friends and family is something I would not hesitate to do.

  THis is our more tasty alternative to MRE's during short periods of time if an issue arises. They come in convenient pouches which is a huge plus. I couldn't ask for more out of this product.

  This is a great kit for any emergency. I live in a hurricane zone and keep a few of these for each family member incase we lose power for a long period of time, which almost always happens with a direct hit from a hurricane. Highly recommended for anyone near the oceans or in a hurricane area.

  We got this box as a wedding gift! This is a great way to help someone start their new lives together. We kept this 72 hr food supply in our car while traveling back home. This makes a perfect gift and is a awesome start to any food storage.

  If you only order a few things for your emergency stokpile, this would be my first item! FEMA recommends 3 days (72 hours) worth of provisions for emergency situations. This case will provide food for ONE PERSON for 3 days. If you have a family, you'll need one case for each person. Not a bad price for such good peace of mind! Also, Mountain House is the best food supplier out there!

  Received this today with our first order from TheReadyStore.
  We used boiling water and waited. We were hungry since we were planning to test for dinner.
  Our family of five (2 adults, 3 children) were pleased and surprised at how wonderful these dishes tasted. Texture is ok, taste is amazing. I just wished the sodium levels were lower and potassium was higher. Overall best "72 hour" emergency backup. We will be getting these with no question for everyone next Xmas or birthdays, also a few for us! Thanks

• Box has more pouches than Ready Store's description

  My box has 2 pouches Beef Stroganoff, 2 of Chicken Teriyaki w/Rice, 1 of Pasta Primavera, 1 of Rice & Chicken, 2 of Scrambled Eggs w/Bacon, 1 of Granola w/Milk & Blueberries. I think the Ready Store description only lists 6 pouches. We used the eggs during a recent power outage and they were great. I recommend using a wire strainer to pour the water off the eggs because, otherwise, you may pour off some of the bacon pieces like I did. Good product.
  
  From The Ready Store:
  
  Thanks Judy we will update the product page to reflect the new configuration.
  
  Thanks,

  I realize that this pack might be a little more well rounded, but why buy this when the variety pack is cheaper and has more servings than this? Sometimes the pricing just doesn't make sense.

    • How to figure out your food storage manufacture date

      We often get questions about the manufacture dates printed on our #10 cans. Cans of food. Previously, The Ready Store placed a Julian calendar date on our #10 cans, however, we have recently simplified the everything by printing new, easy-to-read manufacturer dates! MREs. Meals-Ready-to-Eat are primarily used by the United States military, which uses a Julian calendar [...]
