MRE's

[Trailer]

We have a bunch of these, but not for camping. We live next to a major military base-one that, for various reasons would be a target if anything big went down. So we have an emergency box for the family that we can throw in the car, and we have MREs in there.

Mountain House makes much better tasting meals and probably healthier for you too.

+1 to all of that. I would never bring them. Only good thing about then is that you certainly wont have to go to the bathroom often if you eat many of these. They will set up in your bowels like concrete.

I don't carry MRE's every time but some entree pouch cab be found in my pack from time to time. What I do carry is Mainstay Food Rations.
