Is there any serious reason for wanting to buy shitty MREs other than autism?

$55 for 14 shipped. I ordered a case a few months ago. Decent for the price.

MRE is literally just canned shit from a grocery store repackaged and sealed in waterproof bags.

I can't wrap my head around why you'd buy one yourself. Plenty of YouTube videos if you're curious what other countries have in them.

get a wife who can cook you something better than a mre

Other tips not included in image:

1. Water, salt and sugar alone can sustain you for a long ass time. Salt replaces electrolytes lost in sweat, and sugar gives you raw energy. They take up little space and last forever.

2. You should also be matching up expiration dates, so you don't end up with half an expired MRE…

3. Fresh, unaged cheddar is fine as a dairy product. If its sealed right it can age itself up to 7 years without going bad.

4. Dehydrated milk is fine as a dairy product. It can last about 25 years sealed.

5. Dehydrated, compressed mushrooms are amazing, a full days serving can be packed in an ounce.

6. Honey lasts forever, and makes a pretty good wound disinfectant

7. THROW IN DESSICANT PACKS

You will always have noodles and sauce at home, so whenever you want to leave you just grab a bag of dried noodles (lasts forever) and a jar of pickled-whatever, as well as whatever tomato based sauce you had at home at the time, put these three things into your cooking pot and head out.

If you want to spice it up: bring pepper or some onions. Onions last months and since anyone in their right mind has them in their diet anyways you will always have some at home.

If you want to go really crazy you can bring a bag of rice (lasts a year or more), which you should also always have at home, and some boiled apple sauce in a jar. Rice is self explanatory, a kilo will feed you a few days at worst and more than a week at best. Apple sauce keeps good for a long ass time, especially when it was boiled and properly sealed.

Basically: any properly stocked kitchen already is an MRE you just need to stuff into a bag and spend ten minutes of your day cooking. If you won't have the time to cook innawoods you are doing something wrong.

Write the expiration date on the outside of the sealed bag as well.

MRE's are a convenience food. They aren't really anything special, like you suggest you can probably do better yourself, but it's all put together for you already in a package. I guess you can argue that convenience foods are bad, and I can't argue objectively with that, but they've proven pretty popular for obvious reasons.

As much as I love MREs, dad was Navy growing up, ate so so many cases as a kid, they're not worth the money anymore.

Recently I bought a vacuum sealer, and I'm not sure how I ever went inawood without one. Hit up the 99cent store, big lots or whatever place has discount food and stock up. Organize into meal sized portions and vacuum pack that stuff with some napkins, m&ms, a plastic spoon, all the shit you normally find in MREs. For around $3 a meal. No flameless heater though, but I rarely used the when I had them anyway.

Protip, vacuum pack ammo, boxed, in a mag, or on stripper clips, it all works. It keeps it dry and it's more quite then loose ammo. Buy a bulk box of desiccant packs and toss one in if it's possible and it'll last forever.

What downside? MRE has no downside.

-t ate FEMA/US ARMY mre's for an month's

>>605385

If they where from PR they would have been sold already here for an extra spicy premium

>>605402

Aside from the potential opportunity cost of not getting something better I've heard they can really mess with your digestion. Did they improve them in later variants?

MREs are frankenstein food. They're full of preservatives and flavour enhancers in order to try and make cardboard taste like bread. They're closer to eating fast food every day than real food.

The only exception is some of the mains are real food but even then they have preservatives.

Daily reminder to eat EVERYTHING in your meal ready to eat.

Otherwise you don't get the caloric intake that they planned in the portion.

>Write the expiration date on the outside of the sealed bag as well.

Yes yes all kinds of labels. What's in it, what's the expiration date, servings, calories, utensils.

>>605378

I live in Florida and not once have MRE's been handed out when the town got flooded. You will have to go to one of the cesspools to get them, which probably isn't worth the experience unless you know you can buy in bulk.

I actually bought mine a year ago pre-hurricane in Puerto Rico

Is it because that they don’t want the niggers to rely on them? I read some scary stories about the niggers in super dome. It’s so bad that the National guards had to put the wired fences between them and the niggers so they don’t get attacked by the niggers.

>>605437

>is it because they dont want niggers to rely on them

It may possibly have been niggers, I assume it's because there wasn't much urgency here because most people are well enough off they can survive a flood, unlike Jamal who lives off cheetos he steals from the 7-11, which he starves without, who will get his friends to chimpout and start raping, looting, and stealing if they aren't kept under wraps.

Know how I know you've never actually been hungry?

>>605406

eating pure carbs can seriously give you hard ass tearing shits, eat a stool softener if you eat nothing but MREs

>>605440

Have you been to super dome?

>>605445

Being hungry has nothing to do with the quality of the food you eat. Unless you're living in a third world country you can always get access to at least frozen vegetables. Shit just cut up and then frozen on the spot.

>>605437

Why is opening fire into a crowd considered bad today?

US government used to do it all the time, and as long as its low caliber revolver ammo people rarely even died. Just suffered from wounds for a few months.

Heh. Good one.

The main problem I have with that was the time. When I was inna army and got my MREs we never had time to sit down and eat all of them. Get up before sunrise, do your guard shift, eat breakfast at the fire (canned bread and butter) as the sun rises, drink a coffee because you are tired as fuck, get ordered to do stupid shit all day until it's noon and you get 20 minutes to shove one of the main meals into your mouth. After that is't more stupid work until sunset when you get as much time as you want to eat the rest of your MRE, but guess what:

You have been awake for >16 hours, you have spent more than 15 hours doing something most likely very exhausting. You haven't had a non-interrupted night's sleep for the past three days, hell you have slept in a sleeping bag on the fucking ground for the past three days. Most of the day you carried around a heavy fucking backpack and your rig. Not to mention that you haven't had a fucking roof over your head all that time. Your joints hurt, your back hurts, your feet hurt, and all you want is some god damned sleep. You are dirty, you are moist to

At that point you just shove another warm meal into your mouth, wash it down with some instant drink, maybe eat some chocolate and crawl into your fucking tent again, hoping that they forget that you have to get up in two hours to do your guard shift in the middle of the fucking night, before returning to sit at the radio and drink some tea to warm your half-frozen ass, before crawling back into "bed" and getting a few more hours of sleep before being woken juuuust before sunrise again.

And don't forget: whoever snores gets the boot. Either you are kept awake by some snoring faggot, or you are the snoring faggot and get woken up every five fucking minutes.

This is why I like to go camping as a civvy. You have TIME. You can sit down on a stump, enjoy a coffee, make some good fucking breakfast and drink a nice cup of steaming tea at whatever pace you damn well please to, before heading out and doing your day's worth.

And when you feel hungry you come back to your camp, take out whatever ingredients you have, and start cooking a simple meal. It doesn't even have to taste good, just give me time to enjoy it. No matter what sweets or other tasty stuff you put into a sealed package, it's taste isn't going to matter if I don't have time to give a shit about flavour.

>tfw been keto for 3 weeks

All of my shits after the first week have been pure ghost shits. Come out hard as a brick but slide off my ass from all the fat I've been eating, and require one square of TP to wipe. Can't remember the last time I actually had to wipe twice.

>I joined the Jewish violence squad and they treated me like a goy.

Oy vey. Did you ever complain about it to your local rabbi?

Those first two look suspiciously like salmon when they get teeth. I bet someone fucked up at the canning plant.

>>605711

The last dish looks quite palatable. Stewed beef and veg?

>>605711

Throw that meat on a fire using the can as a pan, and you got yourself some nice Frikadeller.
