One of my favorite summertime places to go is the Sierra Nevada mountains here in California. What comes along with me on EVERY backpacking trip? Mountain House Pro-Pak meals! My two personal favorites are Lasagna with Meat Sauce and Chicken & Rice. Most importantly, they are tasty, and are also easy to make, nutritious, and filling. All you have to do is add hot water and stir, and your dinner is ready! The Pro-Paks are unique in that they are air-compressed, and for anyone who has ever gone camping or backpacking at high altitude, you’ve seen bags of chips, meals, etc. all puff up and take up loads of precious space in your backpack. The Pro-Paks stay small and compact.
How to Sign Up?

Mountain House Meals are very delicious and so convenient for camping and hiking.
I would love tipi try these!
I love their biscuits and gravy! I seriously could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their meals came in so useful when we went dry camping (can’t have a campfire either) for a week at Guadalupe Mountains National Park last July!
Trying to get back into hiking and backpacking with my teenage daughter. My gear list is almost complete and these are convenient, light weight and sound delicious after a long day on the trail!
I would love to try these!
Mountain House is my GO TO food for backpacking, nothing else compares in taste. I would love to win a few. Please pick me.
love to try this. Thank you.
Everything tastes better out of a bag!
Let’s Eat at a tree stump with a view!
Who wouldn’t love some Mountain House? Heading out on lots of backpacking trips soon – training for a big one! – and would love the fuel 🙂
Who wouldn’t LOVE some MountainHouse?!
Time to restock!
Im planning on my first backpacking trip this summer and would love to try these!!
I love LASAGNA!
Need some mountain house for my next adventure!
These Pro-Pacs sounds like a great option. Although I mostly day hike, I always like to have some food along in case of an emergency situation.
As someone who loves to cook, I aspired to craft my own backcountry hiking meals. It’s harder than I would imagine and the vast majority just didn’t turn out that well. Mountain House meals are light weight, easy to prepare, and they taste pretty darn good. I don’t bother with fancy recipes anymore. I just stick with Mountain House.
I’d love to try the Mountain House Pro-Paks! They sound delicious!
I love Mountain House and giveaways!
I’m always looking for new meals to enjoy while I’m living outside. These look great!
Thanks for this opportunity and for the info!
Great giveaway
Awesome giveaway!
I’m in…
New to backpacking and am trying different meal solutions
Would love to try these.
Haven’t tried these yet. Will have to for my next backpackpacking adventure.
I keep seeing these everywhere but haven’t had a chance to try them yet!
Too often I spend my Camping time playing Caterer. Can’t believe I didn’t think of Mountain House. It’s been a long time since I had one of those!
Mountain House meals fast, easy and tasty, enough said.
We recently started our journey to become Adirondack 46ers, taking my very first backpacking trip in a few weeks. Can’t wait to try out some of these tasty meals on the journey with my man and two fur babies! (alaskan klee kai’s)
Love your website and your giveaways 🙂
Looking forward to some long treks with my furry friend and some good meals around the campfire. Mountain house would be superb!
I’ve enjoyed the regular mountainhouse before, but I haven’t tried the propaks!
I will try out Mountain House on my next hiking trip into the Sawtooth Wilderness area.
The beef stroganoff with a packet of mashed potatoes is the absolute best!!!!
I love Mountain House! So tasty after a long day on the trail.
Mountain House is pretty good. I like their Chili Mac with Beef.
That certainly sounds very tasty and would be relished after hiking! I’d like to find out more about the products also for a friend.
This website is great food for thought!
Because I’m retiring 6/23/17 and plan to spend A LOT of time on the trails these would be great!
Hope to win but really just want to say i love the site!!
I wasn’t sure I was going to like these. I bought a few when I was out on the Appalachian trail this year and I really liked them. The regular Mountain House Mac and Cheese was really good.
Love my emails from hiking lady.com! I’m turning 50 next month and am finally getting back to backpacking after over a decade’s break! Hoping to joggle a 50k or 50mile trail run this year too!
Spaghetti and Beef Stroganoff are my two favorite Mountain House dehydrated meals.
Mountain House is a great giveaway!!
Working on prepping dehydrated meals right now for NP trips in July and it is time consuming. Little help from MH would be awesome.
I’ve seen Mountain House products in REI, but we mostly car-camp and carry “real” food. Moving into hiking now and always looking for convenient trail food!
This is a great giveaway!! I’m planning some overnight backpacks this summer and these would be perfect!!
Would love Mountain House for a backpacking trip to Isle Royale.
The spaghetti and meatballs is my favorite Mountain House meal! I find the cheese from the lasagna hard to clean off of my spoon.
I would love to try Mountain House on my next adventure!
I normally make my own meals, but would love to try some pre-made. They seem a bit high in sodium, so they probably taste better than mine 😀
I’ve heard of many good things about these meals–would love a chance to try them out!
I’ll be spending some time on the Colorado Trail this summer. Mountain House meals are the best for backpacking trips. Thanks for all your tips and gear reviews!
I’ve used Mountain House products and they’re tasty. They’ve got a good variety of meals.
Love your tips and pics from your hikes.
Love Mountain House. Can’t wait to get back out on the trails!
How exciting! I am planning my trip for havasu and these would be perfect for that!
I have not tried these before but I bet they are pretty good from what the other commenters are stating here. 🙂
Hi, my husband and I are just getting back into backpacking after 2 years (2 foot surgeries). This would help restock our supplies.
I am just getting into hiking and would love a chance to try some of the supplies that you recommend.
I’ve always enjoyed Mountain House over other brands. They have a different taste, more real for a hiking food than other freeze dried ones. My favorite is the spaghetti one. Thank you for the chance to win and try more on the trail!
I have had a few of that brand. They are very good.
We will be doing a week-long backpack trip in Grand Canyon in October, and these super-light and super-compact Mountain House meals would be a great addition to our gear/meal planning. Whether I win here or not, there will be some MH freeze-dried meals in my pack.
Good stuff…Would love to win this. Thanks for the chance.
simple and tasty meals that help on trail or scout camp
I’ve never had the chance to try these! Fingers crossed!!
Mountain House makes meals that are so convenient for backpacking trips!
I would love to give these a try. I’ve got a gal coming with me for her first 14’er, and this would be the cherry on top!
These would come in so handy for our summer camping trips — we usually go on long hikes then also, so they would be helpful there also!
The teriyaki chicken rice is the best one though.
Just this weekend we had to resort to ramen and oatmeal as they were easy “just add water” meals! I would love to give something like this a try!!
I would love to try this food.
I have never tried them, but would like to try them. My boys are getting tired of the same foods on backpacking trips.
Love this giveaway idea, one of my favorite brands for camping trips!
I will have to look at these for our Colorado trip in August. I have a hard time finding freeze dried meals I like… maybe Mountain House is what I’ve been missing.
I have some of their products in our “earthquake preparedness” kit. The lasagna sounds good!
Did I win?
Going to ROMO next week!
Going rafting in Alaska! Can’t wait.
Deee-licious! 🙂
I haven’t tried this yet. Sounds like a good choice.
This would be great to take on my summer backpacking adventures!
I’m a big fan of Mountain House meals. The beef stroganoff is my favorite. The slightly spicy chili mac is a winner, too.
I had tried a sample once of Mountain House and wasn’t impressed, but that has been a few years back…so maybe this is better. Have a great day!
I liked the Mountain House meals that I’ve tried. They’re pretty tasty.
I could use it on my backpacking trips.
Heading out to Yellowstone next month – thank you for all the advice!
Should lighten the weight on our planned 5 nights wilderness trip to the NW Highlands of Scotland
I have heard the Mac and Cheese is another classic staple. My family and I are going to be packing some for an upcoming adventure
Hi Erlinda, I also really liked the Vegetarian Lasagna from Mountain House, but they’ve discontinued it. The Beef Stroganoff with Noodles is good too!
Any others you recomend we should try.
lasagna sounds really good!
I love eating out of a bag.
My husband and I are building up to backpacking. I just recently found your blog and really enjoy it.
Headed to Utah in October, Canyonlands, Arches, Capitol Reef, loads of trails.
Hi Lindsay,
I have tasted others, and I like the taste of the Mountain House the best. Personal preference 🙂
Why do you specifically like Mountain House? I thought they were pretty meh in the 1990s and so I’ve been using others since. I got a sample of theirs recently and will give it a try on my next trip. I guess they must have improved – it’s been a long time.
What a great giveaway!!!
