Mountain House #10 Cans ARE AVAILABLE
I have seen reports on various sites that say that Mountain House will not be selling #10 cans on their website until the end of 2009.
This statement is correct.
I called Mountain House customer service and they confirmed this is the case. An updated notice should appear on their website soon.
However it was also being said that dealers only had limited supply of Mountain House #10 cans and after that dealers could be out of stock for as long as 20 weeks!
The above statement is not correct!
Mountain House customer service confirmed that they would continue to supply their TOP DEALERS.
The supply is limited and on allocation to these dealers due to high demand.
I called Nitro-Pak customer service and they confirmed that they will continue to take orders and shipping lead times are at present 2-4 weeks and will continue into the foreseeable future. This applies to #10 cans sold by themselves and special food reserve packages.
However since the supply of #10 cans from Mountain House is on limited allocation to dealers, if demand increases even more, the lead times will only get longer.
However you will still get freeze dried food in #10 cans if and when you order from their dealers, the question is just on how long it will take to get delivery.
