Best Deal?

Sorry for a dumb question. I have not checked the forums at all lately. I know a woman that's looking to get some MREs into the hands of school kids for some education and entertainment. The last time I ordered up MRE's (pre-Katrina) they ran about $45 a case on eBay. It no longer looks to be the sa...

Well.. the P3AT of mine produces more jam than Smuckers... so I deserve some ribbing for sure! :) Glad y'all got a sense of humor. Uhm.. the veggie burger? Take a piece of stryofoam, throw some BBQ sauce on it, step on it with a dirt boot to smash it down, then slam it between two pieces of "wheat s...

Hey now.. I said P3AT, not P32. I've got some sense about me after all.

Then again.. I'm munching on a BBQ veggie burger between two wheat snacks right now... what nimrod came up with THIS idea?

Crikey... no wonder I feel like I fit in here! If guns cause crime then spoons made Rosie O'Donnel fat! I'd also retract point 23 from the original list... I could put the number of firearms laws we -should- have on a single piece of paper instead of the 22,000 (estimated.. how messed up is that?!) ...

My personal hypothesis is that the DOD put a lot of research into what makes up a good array of MREs and what should go in them -- so they don't want them on the commercial market in their 100% pure DOD form. As Americans we find that odd.. because paid for that research... but if they go on the ope...

For some reason I'm not able to fall asleep tonight... To the original poster, if you're thinking storage at a location that you're going to be staying in MREs probably aren't what you'd want to load up on. Some? Heck yeah... might as well, but if you're looking to amass a month or year's worth the ...

I'm actutally totally bummed that I don't have any of the Captain's Country Chicken! I love curry dishes.. so I figured I might be one of the few that didn't find it revolting. If I did.. oh well. DirtyDave, you're pretty close to that "close to combat" strain than you think I bet. In the wake of Ka...

Thanks for the old advice, got 2 cases now!

I finally ordered up a couple of cases, and I've downed two entrees at this point. Still haven't messed much with the other components, but that chocolate bar thing was pretty good I thought. I'll probably be sucking 1 MRE down per day for the next few days to see if they do anything whacky to my di...

Laws depend on your state. Some are pretty strict, some not so much. Mine, Michigan, has limitations on blade length but it's under a section that says its only illegal if you plan on comitting a crime against another with it, or something of that nature. Assault with a little knife, not a big deal ...

FNG here.

I thought kturnerga had some pretty good ideas for making MREs more Southern friendly. I might be a damned yankee, but I'm still 25% purebred hillbilly. :) Tea shouldn't heave lemon in it -- maybe sometimes, but that's the damned yank in me coming out again. Never had MRE cornbread... but I'd wager ...
