Mountain House. Best freeze dried you can buy in terms of packaging, quality, and taste. It's a tad more expensive than some others, but worth the extra cost.

My recommendation as well. Expensive but very good.

You have a secondary suggestion? For two people that's basically $60/day for three meals. That's $1800 for a 30 day supply. Insanity.

Am I looking at the wrong sellers?

they are all expensive. expect $15 a pouch.. maybe more now that covid supply chain, lets go brandon. you can make your own dehydrated meals for about $2

Quality isn't cheap. And food is not something you want to scrimp/fuck around with. If you're just going hiking or backpacking it's not super important. But if this stuff is your survival ration, the last thing you want is compromised packaging, or food that is mostly filler/preservatives that doesn't give good nutrition

Beans, rice, lentils etc. are for months of stored food, prepared meals are for several day excursions and a barn, greenhouse and garden is for years of food security.

Buy a freeze dryer and vacuum sealer if that is the style of food you want to store.

Well, they're food isn't as tasty, but it is packaged well, and is less expensive. They also have a lot more exotic stuff than Mountain House. https://readywise.com/

Mountain House pretty much invented the current methods of doing it.

Their Chili Mac is quite tasty, and you'd probably never know it was freeze dried unless told. Kept cool and dry, it's 20+ years stable.

Do like half and half. Some premade meals some stuff you buy yourself like rice, dried fruit, beef jerky Drink mix, iodine, salt, some go bars, glucose

Exactly what I'm doing. Stocked okay but thought some long term premade wouldn't hurt.
