MRE’s have a place in the world of portable food, but while theyre okay they aren’t the tastiest rations in the world. They’re a really good option for when you want something that you can just eat right away with minimal prep, but they’re heavy and bulky. Freeze drieds are awesome but they tend to be expensive.
The link in the first ‘graf goes to a DIY article on making your own freeze dried meals utilizing freeze dried foods that you can find at (usually) your local market.
The selection of freeze dried meals available these days is actually pretty good, but it’s nice to have the option to make your own to get exactly what you want.
Great find. Thanks! Something similar here. Been using this site for years. http://www.trailcooking.com/
mres have been getting better. they aren’t as bulky if you “field strip” them for the goodies and discard the junk you don’t want. i get the separate entree and minute rice, ramen, or knorr noodles for pack meals. that way if i can’t risk a fire or i’m just too tired to bother i still have something to eat.
