Re: MRE Heaven

I went to the Commissary today and checked prices. Full MREs are $9.81 each and $117.72 per case. TOTMs were $4.75 each and $57/case.

$100 a case is less than the price from a military commissary now. If you're getting MREs for less than that, they are either old or stolen.

Re: FRH: To Salt or Not To Salt: That is the question.

In my demonstration, I was using food items generously donated to me that day, and I didn't want to be greedy. On my own, I usually do heat two items with the FRH sandwiched between. The purpose of the demonstration was how to best use an FRH, and I hope that came across. (Even after the cleanup and...

Re: MRE Comparisons

Re: FRH: To Salt or Not To Salt: That is the question.

Yes, I pre-emptively add a bit of pre-mixed salt brine to the water every time I use an FRH. It can't hurt, it very often helps, and if the FRH is so degraded that even added salt won't help, you'll know it within seconds. As you may have noticed in the lecture, I use an old Visine bottle, which is ...
