in the past and probably for the future will keep using new MRE`S with the heaters in the bag when i am in the mountains , learned to use them with my bow hunting friend an Viet Nam ex- front line Marine / Alaskan oil rig plumber who ate them for many years .this Marine said its no mess no fuss and this Marine said these new MRE`s are tasty compared to the World War 2 rations he had to eat in Nam. so i have ate MRE`s for 2 weeks at a time and they sure are easy to store and eat .
