For camping, hiking, bugging out, or storing in the vehicle for emergencies, freeze dried is awesome. Some people balk at the price of freeze-dried food. Well, I looked into buying a very small freeze drying machine to do small batches for friends and family. Holy doodle are they ever expensive!!! And expensive to operate. They suck a ton of electricity. Even to have a freeze drying company process small batches is very expensive. So, the price is very reasonable for the effort and overhead that goes into making this stuff. It’s good to have on hand because it travels so well.

I just must correct one thing here--our Mountain House distributor in Ontario normally ships orders out within one to two days of order receipt. They ship by ground--often using Purolator. So you should expect to typically take delivery 7-10 days after placing your order with us. I appreciate the welcome and the kind words about our company, Safecastle.

Safe Castle's in Canada! This is exciting news. I am still working on my store-what-you-eat part of food storage, but after that is finished, I'll definitely be looking into freeze dried products.
