With 2000 calories in each MRE, you can probably choke down enough calories stay alive before you can't stand to eat any more. At least that's what I did in my college dorm's dining hall.JP171 wrote:there are no good or best of the worst MRE's civvy or Military, they are all nasty have about 2000 calories and the sand to pound. been eating the nasty things for over 20 years and am never going to like them.
I've heard that, but I thought it was just a rumor.OldCannon wrote:Would you believe a website and forums DEDICATED to talking about MREs?
Would you believe I've spent HOURS there?

Good thread!If you are looking for a week supply, there is no reason to consider price or shelf life. You and your family are not going to starve in a weeks time. Since your investment is small, buy the best and most palatable food that suits your tastes. Eat some of the food to see which dishes/products you like and rotate your stock. If it expires, throw it away and buy new stuff.MikeStone wrote:Forgive me if there is info out there already...couldn't find exactly what I was seeking.
I'm working on my bug out bag and plan to get enough MREs for about a week. (2 adults, 3 kids)
I'm looking for opinions about MRE brands that have good products. Compact, tasty, with a good shelf life, etc. What brands do you like and where is the best place to get them?
Thanks for your help!
