23 Year Old MRE Flameless Ration Heaters: Will They Work?

And the answer is……… yes they will! I pulled 3 at random from a sealed case of 1992 FRHs I;ve had stored for years. They took a little time to get started but they all worked just fine. I was surprised.

Great test Chief, I don't actually use them on camping trips t heat meals. But like to have them around in case of emergency
Who knows you matches all get wet from flipping the canoe over etc.
I have a bunch from the 1990's, I call them Bill Clinton heaters

Good to know they still work

Thanks

I have had several issues with this old FRHs, so I´m glad yours still worked

My thinking is that, still being shrink wrapped, no oxygen or moisture was able to reach them and that's why they were still good.
