Product review - Mountain House Biscuits and Gravy, 4.94 oz, Pouch

Mountain House Biscuits and Gravy

I ordered a pouch of this product and tried it for breakfast. Very tasty and two good sized servings. I added two eggs. Surprisingly good tasting considering it's for long term storage.

No dirty dishes, pour boiling water into the pouch, stir and reseal. After a few minutes stir again and reseal for a few more minutes. Meanwhile I made coffee and nuked two eggs.

Even though I have refrigeration at my off-the-power-grid summer home, shelve stable products are good to have on hand. I will be buying the product again in a bigger size. Products like this are good to for everyone to have on hand for emergencies or camping.

In my opinion, a must have prepper book!

Dare to Prepare by Holly Drennan Deyo is quite an informative book, all 600 plus pages. Holly has included information concerning/ answering all my questions, even composing toilets.

My primary concern is the possibility of either a solar event or an EMP created by either North Korea or Iran.

Back to off-the-power-grid home shortly

Getting to be that time of year, back to solar power. This years to do list:

  • Continue checking solar cookers/ ovens
  • Try my hand at collecting water both rain and from the air, yes, I'm told it can be done.
  • Investigate scraping out my old Yellowstone Trailer and using frame for a tiny house
