I have a can that is dented on one side, is that still OK? It is not punctured.

If it is dented, but not punctured, *I* would still eat it, but I would eat it soon rather than storing it for 20 years first. If properly stored, it is good for a long time. Denting the can probably doesn't count a "properly storage". Your mileage may vary, and I am not responsible if you get sick. Of course, if it comes out smelling or tasting weird, I would stop eating it.

what is the best temp/humidity for long term storage?

Store Mountain House food under dry, sanitary conditions, without prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and avoiding any environment that could cause damage to the packaging, such as punctures, dents, or rust. To maximize shelf life, store food unopened and avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 75°F (24°C). Follow these storage tips and you'll have tasty food on your next backpacking trip, during an emergency, or anytime you want a quick meal without the long prep. After opening, we recommend using any dry contents within one week for best results and taste. After hydration, treat any leftover food as you would fresh food.

Can I buy the big 7-serving can but make it in individual servings?

Absolutely. You just take a single serving by weighing the amount you want to use. Then add the amount of water it requires for a single serving. As long as you keep the cover on the container, or better yet put it in a zip lock bag. The food will stay good for probably up to a year or more.

Why has the price doubled in the last year?

Did you not see all the warnings signs of 2020? 30 year shelf life!
