I like most of the MH options. Not real fond of the "ice cream". The scrambled eggs are surprisingly good.

Most of the Italian-esque options with pasta and tomato sauce are pretty decent. Chili-mac is good. I really hate to say beef strokin'-off is edible. smile Stew is good. The chicken stuff is mostly good.

It's mostly pretty bland. The Italian-esque stuff gets better with a shot of grated parmesan. It's all better with a good dose of pepper and garlic salt, only for some reason, with MH, garlic salt gives me AWFUL acid reflux .. not much else does. Needs to be eaten about 3:30 in the afternoon, then another 2 miles o' hiking done to stomp it into submission.

If Backpackers Pantry is the other brand Sportsman's Warehouse carries, I don't like it. Someone else, Coleman maybe, makes some vegetarian freeze dried stuff. It's pretty nasty. Beans and rice, if the beans don't soak up and soften, means fart-powered buckshot a while later. Not good.


Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.

Here be dragons ...
