Internet or any army surplus store. 


Bigger question.....why MRE's???  I guess if you are starving they may taste good.  Mountain house is so much better.

Interesting perspective...MREs are so bad that they make Mountain House taste good.   :chuckle:

I got a case from my nephew who is in the Marines currently, they were deliciuos. He was doing cold weather training at the time so not sure if I got different kits but I could hardly finish everything in one.

Sometimes they're just too scrawny. Heaters put off a nice thermal image  :dunno:, I figured it was more of a you don't have time to heat. Is MH that much better tasting? I think MREs might be better for not carrying a stove or a container to heat water in and extra water. The MRE heater uses very little in comparison to the MH I saw cooked on youtube (it was chili mac also a good MRE).

Don't know about eating them cold or getting shot for heating them, but I prefer to buy individual entrees.
