With backpackers chasing summits and hunters chasing big game, sometimes it's best to pack light when you've got to haul your meals along with everything else you need to survive. Dry goods that can boiled in water are popular choices, but not exactly the most appetizing, and they can become a bit monotonous eating them day after day, night after night. Mountain House meals are often viewed as the five star restaurant of camp cooking, but it's a luxury to have that kind of meal while out in the bush.

However, for a limited time, your next meal in the woods could be on the house, Mountain House that is. The company is offering it's consumers a one-time rebate offer of up to an $11 purchase for one of their dehydrated, pre-packaged culinary camp meals.

With camp cuisine like biscuits and gravy, lasagna, chicken teriyaki with rice, breakfast hash, and a chicken fiesta bowl, Mountain House has become one of the top choices for outdoor adventurers for over 50 years.

Just like any other kind of outdoor gear, you'll probably want to do some background research on the products you plan on using before you head out into the woods. Why should your meals be any different? A quick search of Amazon reviews will reveal a 4 out of 5 star rating, with most of the complaints being based around the price. One 5 star rating reads: "Mountain House is pretty much the gold standard when it comes to freeze dried food for backpacking, camping, or whatever other occasion might call for quick, easy to prepare meals. The down side is their cost."

With that being said, if you're tired of boiling oatmeal, grits and ramen noodles, what do you have to lose? Give it a shot! Most of the individual packages weigh between two to four ounces, can be prepared in 10 minutes, and eaten directly out of the bag.

The promotion ends on Halloween, so you'll have plenty of time to stock up for hunting season, camping, or if you're a survivalist that just wants to add a great last meal to your bug out bag! Rebate requests must be post-marked by November 14th, so get to your local outdoor outfitter and stock up now. Once you've got your proof of purchase, mail it with this rebate form to Mountain House, and they'll pick up the tab. Bon Appetit!
