    When you do the side by side comparison for peak vs mtn. House, it should be blind taste test so there's no biases!

    I personally love the SPR, its easily split into lunch and a dinner later. Hate both berry and granola’s, the berries get mushy and I agree the texture turns me off. Breakfast skillet is the best with your favorite sauce in a tortilla wrap of your choice. Pesto needs absolutely nothing, its perfect and my #1 go to entree. Biscuits and gravy is good too, just a bit on the salty side but welcomed after a long haul. Great review.

      Pesto is one of our favorites too! Have you tried the Venison Casserole?

      @@GOHUNT never even heard of that one yet?? Up in Canada were sometimes late to the party. On a side note, I checked my SPR and it says only 52g of sugar. Maybe updated with less sugar now?

    I thought the Beef Strog would have been waaaay better if I added more water, the recommended amount listed on the pack isn't nearly enough. My favs are the Homestyle chicken and rice, and the breakfast skillet. Fun videos guys, excited to see more like this!

    Peak pesto is awesome! And they forgot to mention that it has 43 grams of protein. I put alfredo right up there. Most Mountain house are around 12 grams. Down side of Peak is cost at $13 a crack. But taste wise and nutrition wise it was worth it to me!

    @wademitchell9940 4 года назад

    Havnt ate a lot of the peak refuel but I have heard guys say they do not cook as well as mountain house (just hear say) but the other thing is they do not last as long because they are dehydrated not freeze dried. I always have extra after the season because I plan to eat one everyday even on day trips just in case I do not return back to the truck or camp. It would suck to have to throw a bunch out if I never ate them.

    Great video thank you very much!!!
    Having said that for the judges when you come up on a tie and there’s no tiebreaker. You should take into account each persons, body pH level and acidity levels because you’re all going to have different taste buds. Maybe you should introduce three girls into your taste testing or at least one girl for tiebreaker. Because everybody goes to the outdoors.
    My wife thanks you lol 😂

    I felt exactly the same about the Beef Stroganoff. I expect to love it based on other reviews but just found it too rich and salty to me! Although I would give it a 6. Next time I might add more water. One thing about Peak Refuel I have noticed is that a lot of their foods tastes the same. Very rich and buttery and homestyle flavor. So eating it for a week could make you jaded.

    Do they have to be cooked or heated, or just rehydrated?

    • @GOHUNT
      @GOHUNT  2 года назад +1

      Thomas, great question!
      The Peak Refuel meals are all fully cooked and only require adding some water (around 8-12 oz just varying by meal). The majority of meals however are going to taste a lot better when supplemented by boiling water, but they can certainly be made with room temp/cold water in a pinch.
      Hope this helps you out, and just reach out if you have any additional questions!

    Peak has great flavors and is better on my gut than mountain house. The downside for me is the water recommendations or rehydrate process. Only a few times have I been lucky enough to have all of the meat fully rehydrate, generally its still chewy. Aside from that peak is tough to beat. Good To- Go Thai Curry is hands down the best meal out there.

    Mountain House was my favorite till Peak Refuel. It is richer, it looks like real food and smells like real food. I brought it to work to test it because everything is tasteless at work. It beats hating something because dumping food attracts critters and bears. They make a berry Granola with a soy milk substitute because many people are lactose intolerant. Their food takes less water to reconstitute.
