MRE's are not that bad tasting, but as mentioned
before are heavy for lightweight purposes, even if you field strip them(Remove all excess packaging and items you dont need). Not mentioned is how much water you must drink to process them. I was told(don't know if it is true) that it takes about a gallon of water to fully process an MRE through you system. That isn't a problem for the military, because support personnel will have plenty of water available. In short, I'd look elsewhere.

MRE's are relatively heavy and take up a lot of pack volume, and while I've certainly had my share of them (not as a first choice <G>), I really don't recommend them for backpacking. david +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ BackpackingLight Mailing List To unsubscribe, send a blank message to: BackpackingLight-unsubscribe@...

This gives me 650 - 750 cal. for dinner. The chicken dishes are OK too. They have heavy packaging, and repacking saves some weight. You can also get alot of the stuff in bulk and make your own mixes in seal-a-meal bags. Look at the food reviews on Gear Test: http://tinyurl.com/jmq6b Cheers, Michael +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ BackpackingLight Mailing List To unsubscribe, send a blank message to: BackpackingLight-unsubscribe@...

They are made to microwave in 90 seconds. and warm up well when unopened and put in hot water. Same problems as the Mre's -> H-E-A-V-Y +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ BackpackingLight Mailing List To unsubscribe, send a blank message to: BackpackingLight-unsubscribe@...
