Anyone know where to get a couple of cases of military MRE's? 12 packs.
-
Commisary at jblm or Smokey point for us north Seattle area.
-
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.
-
Nevdr tried Mountain house. Do they have heaters like mres

Man I love MREs.. The newer ones are great.
-
Me too. Good variety and with a heater they are tasty and easy to use.
-
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.

Heaters??? I remember in the Marines they'd say you dont need a damn heater, you wanna get shot!!! Eat it and shut the f... up. :chuckle:

Why would a heater get you shot? :dunno:

You were born a brave come on now, can’t believe you let a DI intimidate you like that. :chuckle:

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.
-
Amazon has them. I do like some of the newer MREs, however I actually love some of the Mountain House meals. Often times weight is a concern of mine so I rarely carry MREs when hiking in.
-
Biggest problem I've seen with MRE's is the size and the weight. This may not matter too much on a day hunt or a 1 night'er, but if you're packing for bigger trips, they're too big and too heavy. Pound for pound you can do a lot better calorie and protein wise with other stuff. There's more to it than just Mountain Houses.

He was probably a Vietnam veteran, and was thinking of MCIs (also called C-rats) they burned trioxane tablets to warm them. Small balls of C-4 plastic explosive were often used as well. In a pinch, the C-rat peanut butter could also be used, it burned like Sterno, LOL
MREs use a chemical reaction to water in the box to heat them
