Although they are definitely tasty and super convenient for my extensive travels (I prep with my own dual voltage kettle pot), it would appear there is some wheat, barley and/or rye cross contamination occurring somewhere in the manufacturing process. Please understand that I really wanted these items to be an option for me hence the multiple attempts with consumption but I have been managing celiac disease long enough to recognize the symptoms associated with inadvertent ingestion. **Q: how long will this store outside in unstable temperature?** A: Recommended storage is below 75 degrees. Temps above this can alter the taste of the food if stored for long periods of time. **Q: Do you have kits with indivdual meals and not bulk meals per packets?** A: This bucket contains 12 individual pouches that contain 2 servings of each meal per pouch. It is not a bulk meal contained within ## Frequently Bought Together - Mountain House Essential Meal Assortment Bucket | Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food | 22 Servings | Gluten-Free - Mountain House Expedition Meal Assortment Bucket Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food 30 Servings - Mountain House Classic Meal Assortment Bucket Freeze Dried Backpacking & Camping Food 24 Servings --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/181731809-essential-bucket](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/181731809-essential-bucket) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-10-31*
