Good morning from the Great State of Texas. I am glad you gave a good review of the Mountain House Chicken fajita bowl. I have been leery of trying this meal. I will now try this meal. Thank you and have a good day.

Great review man, love the cold weather rations! That is one of my favorite mountain House meals. I have a few buckets of them from when I worked at a Camping World. The store was getting rid of the camping area and went to 90 percent off. Have a great weekend!

Chillin' with Jerms and an MCW review! Nice!

[EatCarbs]

Looked good. I've enjoyed a few Cold Weather MRE's before.
Thanks for the video brother

[cliffbrott]

Great review as usual and looking forward to seeing the next

Hi Jerms; that ectocooler comment cracked me up. First time my son and I made that beverage base I told him "well, it looks like we're drinking Slimer today...." He asked "what's a Slimer?" I have failed him as a

Thanks Jeremy for the Veterans Day tidings! It was an honor to serve. Another awesome review by the way. Those Cold Weather MREs are pretty good. The freeze dried entrees are always so much better than the retort pouch ones. At least you didn’t “slime” yourself with the ectocooler drink😂! Also, I love your little assistant in your edits! Cats are great for one’s mental health 😊! Thanks for another entertaining video!

I really liked the intro on this one! I'm glad this one was delicious all around! Nice job Jerms! Oh, and since you're rapidly approaching it congrats on 2.5k!!

That main looked amazing (of course I love Mexican food so of course I think it looked amazing 😂) Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you to all of our veterans 🇺🇸 (My hubby is a disabled vet and they consider me a vet even though I was injured in bootcamp. My daddy and uncle were also vets)

Awaiting the Thanksgiving Day turkey and dressing MRE🤣

An amazing sounding main along with some great side, they really got it right with this one. Cant wait till these get to the UK. Great video.

Ohhh.... I always seem to watch your reviews before a meal.... and now I'm starving!! LOL. I have tried several Mountain House items, and honestly none of them of them disappointed. And what's not to like with something that's shelf stable for 30+ 😛😛😛 .... great work my friend!

[RUSTYSURPLUS]

Howdy Jerms the freeze dried main is the way to go. Thanks

[chrisinfdiv]

That is one thing I haven't tried is the MCW. I've had mountain house products. I'll have to put it on my wish list. As always, what a great review. Thanks for recognizing.❤😎

Great review Jerms! This meal needs some cheese and tortillas!! Those mocha bars are pretty decent. Thanks for sharing dude.

Welcome back bro! I love cold weather rations I think its about time to order a new case. Ive demolished 2 cases in the last year hahaha. Great to see they are coming in regular mountain house packaging now. Also for those who don't know or never had a cold weather or mountain house the mountain house mains have a shelf life of 30 years but will most likely last way longer than that if they arent punctured. :) You can buy mountain house at most walmarts if you ever wanted to try them! They are amazing I take them camping all the time! But if you get a decent deal on a case of MCW they are about the same for the whole meal or a little less than just a regular store bought mounatin house.

Hey Jerms! Wow! Great to see you review one of these new MCWs! I just found out about the new MCWs that are being produced. I recently stumbled across a few people on Ebay selling these new ones for a great price. I definitely want to pick some of these up, but I don't want to spend any more money after buying all those international rations! However, I just went on Ebay while writing this and bought one! it was $19.99 with free shipping. I got the same menu you just ate, and that was the one I wanted to try most. Mexican/southwestern style food is my absolute favorite. I was gonna get a chicken dumplings one too, but they are out of stock at the shop I just got it from. I'm gonna see if another seller has it available. There are quite a few new menu options now in the updated line of MCWs. The food in these is just awesome. It is BY FAR the best tasting US MRE food. The freeze drying process preserves most of the flavor and allows the food to last literally forever *without* preservatives. As long as the packaging holds up and the vacuum seal is not broken, the food lasts decades. It is very strange to see that they no longer vacuum seal the mains in the new MCWs anymore, but it makes sense. It is much cheaper to produce, and will make the food less susceptible to damage from the pouch being punctured. They usually add an inert gas like nitrogen to the bag after freeze drying it if it is not vacuum sealed afterwards. I'm always afraid whenever I get an MCW that the vacuum will be broken when I eat it. With these new ones I don't have to worry about that. Although I will miss the nice hiss that accompanies opening a MCW main. I always add much less water than the directions call for. Adding the recommended amount of water almost always results in soup. I don't know why they instruct using so much water with the mains in these. It is ALWAYS way too much! I also like the food to be a bit thicker anyway. And as you said, you can always add more water if it is too dry, but once it's in, you can't take it back out. The MCWs also come with a lot of food! I am always full after eating one of these meals. I just love these. They are also much lighter than a regular US MRE. I think they should make all the US MREs like the MCWs. Having freeze dried mains in regular US MREs would be awesome! Anyway, I'm gonna get a few more of these soon. I also want to get some of the new 2024 US regular MREs. They have new menus as well and completely different packaging. Funny thing is I actually got 2 new US Halal meals in the new updated packaging. But I have not yet seen any of the new US MREs for sale anywhere yet. I still have a whole bunch of those international rations I have to try. I'm gonna save the French RCIR for Thanksgiving. I will be off from work as they are closed Thanksgiving, but my parents are going to see other family elsewhere and I am not going with them, so I will be home then. It will be a nice treat for the holiday. I will see my parents and have a Thanksgiving dinner with them on another day. It kinda sucks but doing stuff like that is normal for me. I will be home with my girl. We will share an MRE together on Thanksgiving! Hehe! Anyway, always happy to see another video! Take care buddy!
