Re: Done with MREs

You are certainly correct, RockyRaab. I still enjoy them for a single meal occasionally, but when I'm hiking or camping I still take a variety of other stuff like store-bought shelf-stable food items and MH freeze-dried stuff. I'd love to have a home freeze-dryer someday. The FSR's are some of the w...
