I’m actually thinking of buying some of this stuff have you actually tried it? I had MRE’s years ago when I was in the service but have not since tried anything along these lines, is it decent?
Don't pay full price, you can find it all on sale most of the time. Just look around on the net.
I’ve also eaten MRE’s - I’ll take the dehydrated stuff over the MRE’s.
Could be I got some old ones but they were pretty awful (the MRE’s). I bought them at a garage sale - the guy had some leftover from his military days and they were at least a couple years old. I can’t believe we feed our military that stuff.
Rather than get all this nasty stuff I’ve come to the conclusion the best rations for camping or self reliance are those packets of chicken flavored rice or noodles (you know they come in beef and fried rice, etc) and those new packages they now have of tuna or chicken in a pouch. They won’t last near as long but they are lightweight and much tastier. Also you can use them and replace to keep them fresh. Mix them together for a pretty decent meal.
Forgot to mention that you should consider buying dried beans (pinto, black & white), rice, pasta, sugar honey, oatmeal & other heavy items at your local Sam’s Club in bulk. Shipping on these items is expensive and you can re-package these items into mason jars or Food Saver bags and draw a vacuum on them for a lot less than you can buy them in a freeze dried state. I prepared some in 1998 for Y2k using oxygen absorbers and using this method and am still preparing and eating these. A little chicken broth and some Rotel tomatoes and green chilies along with some cornbread and it is as good as the same thing you purchase and prepare that day.
