Description
When one goes out hunting, you try to keep the food load light yet nutritious. the military has contracted with some great companies who have changed the idea of what to eat on the field. these MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) are a prime example of the contractors listening to the military.
in doing so, they have come out with a very high-quality menu that, in my opinion, rivals some restaurants and meals you find in the stores.
the other great option is that they use flameless heating system to cool the meals - Those heaters consist of a chemical in a pouch that produces heat when it is exposed to water. To use the heater, you add water to the pouch and then insert the sealed MRE and your food cooks with the heat produced by the chemical reaction in about ten minutes.
the rock is an option to keep the system contained.
these meals are top quality in taste and I will not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to my friends.
and yes! I've had the old C-rats so I speak with some experience.
the other great thing is that the meals weigh very little for the calorie content.

cool. i had guys at work bring some to eat for lunch. they tell me it is good.
MRE's make me think of Burt in the Tremors movies. He swore by them!!
"Bon Appetit" - Smile!
Interesting explaining Mike, and also a very nice capture.
Interesting!
A most interesting bit of info, Mike! I've not tried MREs, but this makes me want to pick up a couple next time I have a chance. Very cool shot of your field 'kitchen!' Bon Appetite!
This looks like a better alternative to roots and berries or squirrel.
Wow, what a nice solution! And all this without a microwave ... Nice photo!
I always had the impression these MRE's were tasteless, but now I know better...Cordon Bleu here I come ! ~Cheers~
Maybe it could be used in the kitchen too? Great shot! :o)
And now we now! Thanks for the camping lessons mate, must confess I'm very out of practice! Rob
Even the packaging looks better than those cardboard boxes sealed with wax. We even had a 4 pack of cigarettes in our MREs. Lucky Strikes with a green circle instead of red!
A very convenient way for a meal. Aloha
