Making up my meals for archery elk here in about 17 days. I bought one of the cans to make 4 of the dinners with, then got a couple different entrees and some homemade stuff too for a change up.

Anyway, it says they are nitrogen packed and to use the product up within a week of opening it. I was going to put it directly into ziploks, but it will be 3 weeks or so before they get rehydrated.

Has anyone else done this and did the meals turn out just fine? Surely they will be OK if they are sealed back up again?

Just hate to wait till the day before I leave to finish this up.

After you bag them, keep them in the freezer until you go. That'll keep the moisture from damaging them.

I bought a large can of their beef stroghanoff(sp?)and just seperated into individual meals in 1 qt. freezer bags. I ate them over the course of a number of months & had no issues.
I guess I didn't read the directions and just missed the instructions about not doing that!

Do you have or have access to a vac packer?

Do you have Sir Walter Raleigh in a can?

Is your refrigerator running?

Get serious, would ya?

I've put MH meals into ziplock bags and the meals sat in my garage for over a year. Then I ate them anyway.

I'm fine.

Hmmmm.....

4 years ago I had a high country early season hunt in N Colorado. I packed my deer out and left some gas canisters, camp stuff and 4 freeze dried mountain house meals.

I was up there this weekend and my stuff was still hanging in the tree where I left it. last nite I opened one of those meals. Smelled ok so I ate it. Pretty good and no ill effects so far. (beef stroganof)
My green dry bag was completely bleached white but otherwise fine.

Yup, that could explain it.

OK then, so if I bag it up and put it in the freezer it should last till the hunt in a few weeks.. or I could bag it up and put it in the garage for 1 to 4 years.

I think that I got this.

Thanks much, Glynn

uuurp.......yup should be fine

The only thing that will affect it is moisture. We don't know where you live. If you're in a humid climate, it can draw moisture and spoil. A freezer will prevent that. If you're in a dry climate, keeping it in the garage might work fine.
