Official Preparation Instructions

1. Add 8-16 (check package) ounces of hot water (~⅓ canteen cup) to pouch
2. Stir, wait ~5-10 minutes until fully rehydrated
3. Hot water can be added in stages to keep food hot.

Recommended Best Practices

• Meals should be fully hydrated per the official instructions, and left to fully absorb the water.
• Eating too fast can mess with your mood, your metabolism, and your digestive system. Pace yourself and eat at a normal speed.
• Rehydrating the meal just means that the meal is rehydrated. You are still in charge of hydrating yourself. Make sure to drink adequate water.
• Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and temperatures above 75°F to maximize shelf life. Like most things, if stored in a dry cool place it will last longer. Proprietary Mountain House packaging preserves flavor until 2032, and viable calories beyond that.
