So far, so good.
Thanks for the tip, mw.

I got in on the Mountain House Group Buy at WarRifles.com and ordered the food in January. I have eaten MH food many times and have no issues with it, other than the typical American complaint about portion sizes.
As you may or may not be aware, MH food is in short supply right now and many companies are low or out of stock and discounts are hard to come by.
Curiously, I did learn that MH is apparently packed by Oregon Freeze Dry food company. Clearly, I see Harsey's hand in this somehow.
Broadsword was putting the 9th MH group buy there together, I placed the order with him in his preferred format and sent him the payment well before his deadline. The price was $657.10 (actual order) + $32.86 (handling fee). The shipping was free for orders over $500. IIRC, this represented about a 50% discount from MSRP, and the shipping would have been substantial, so that was quite a good deal.
The order was processed and I received a shipping notice from MH last week.
The trucking company called yesterday and I gave them directions to the house. We cut the wrapping off the pallet and the driver helped me offload the eleven cases of food.
It took a little more time than calling a MH vendor, but I felt that the savings were well worth it. Broadsword described how he wanted it done and I followed the directions closely. He did his part, communicated well, and we now have a month or two of long-term storable buffer should any emergency arise which would interrupt our normal food supply. Or if I go on an extended camping trip.
In summary, I heartily recommend the WarRifles MH Group Buy for those looking to extend their food storage and who like freeze dried food.
