Mine are eating mountain house and next are MRE military rations. I will eat them but as a last resort.

Mountain house sounds a little woody and what ever that is?

All camp food tastes pretty good after a hard day hunting, even burnt leaves. Now I'm talking tenting and without all the luxeries that so many people have to have.

You must have had the hiccups when posting this topic.

I think I could put up with bad camp food if I was out with one of you guys!

After a day chasing goats or sheep believe me boiled rocks with lichen looks good.

[Mattuk]

Hey Barry...I actually found those MRE's you brought with you moosing last year rather good ! They went down and I wanted more. I really liked the heater that was used to warm them up.

With that said however....that burbout tasted better .

Is that a mixture of burbon and whiteout ?

[knapper]

It is actually a fish that looks like a catfish in the head and has the body of an eel. It is white and is very tasty. I guess that I think about the earlier mre, yes they can be tasty.

[youngdon]

Yes but isn't it burbot ?

[Mattuk]

It sure is Don!

Last time out, we had a camp set up in the middle of no where New Mexico, in the Gila Wilderness. Fortunetly, my brother is a bonified dutch oven chef, and loves to stay in camp, drink and cook. The food was fantastic, and plenty of it. Nothing like coming in after all day walking or horseback and having dutch oven turkey with stuffing, mashed potatos, gravy, corn and some cobbler for dessert. It's no wonder some of the guys stay out a whole month. Haven't had a camp like that for a few years now though. We all seem to be busy working and can't get it together, but I can hardly wait for the next time. Hope I have enough vacation to cover the whole month next time. Thats something I will put on my bucket-list.

Yes it is...you know my spelling. But it is was most excellent and it was a welcome dinner thanks to an Indian named Wayne.

But I do remember eating Mountain House freeze dried dinners while hiking in New Mexico for a week. I lived but sure did welcome a fresh burger with all the fixins.

There were a group of hunters that decided that the one to complain about the food will have to take over the task. So not one complaint happen so one day the guy decited to make a meal that would bet him out of the cooking chore. He made a moose nugget pie. Every one came back and ate and supper, one of the guys ask what it was ad he was told it as moose nugget pie, he started to make his objection to the pie and realized that he would end up the cook and so he said "this is the best moose nugget pie he had ever ate.

I beleive this really happened. There were some soldiers in the field and there was one LT. that had a cation of molted milk balls, Well a CPT that ended up eating them all and replaced them with moose nuggets. The LT came in in the dark and found the Moose nugget replacements, and when he tasted them he had the use of several words that I will nor post. I have seen/work with both and i believe it happened.

Worst I remember is some weiners. They worked through the ice into the water in the bottom of the cooler. I fished them out and they had turned green. So did I. No more hot dogs that trip.

I have found that when no one cooks after all have been afield, that ANYTHING tastes good even to the point you eat slowly as to savor the normally mundane offerings. Stale potato chips, dried out bread with peanut butter thats old as well from a jar left over in camp from the year before--it doesnt matter. Hunger changes everything and rather quickly.

Hunger does tend to over ride taste buds, thoughts of better food, mold, stale....but when you actually have good chow from a good cook well...you are in Heaven.

Wild berries never taste soo good when picked while you are hiking.

Mountain House are better than the food I eat on a daily basis. I have quite a collection built up and they heat up real nice with my jetboil personal stove.
