MRE's for serious time away are field stripped (no heating packet, mini-tobasco, salt......) just one cold Meal Ready to Exit.
I actually like them though. pluss with all the extra heat packets you can make some cool piro fun with the magnesium

When I talk "field" rations I mean "Field".

Issue food would have been real nice. I'm talking frogs, minnows, little birds, snakes, and anything you could get your fingers on. Boiled in a canteen cup over crappy wood and it all tastes like mush.

Eaten Cs, LRRPs, Mountain Rations, MREs (1st & 2nd gen), tray packs, Hot As and they are all much better than the free range stuff. :-)
