MRE/IMPs are hard to get on the Atlantic coast without doing mail order so I have been looking at making homemade MREs for emergencies.
What do people think about a homemade MRE section? I have made them in the past from what I can get at local stores but it would be of great interest to me to see what others include and how other pack their contents.
Homemade "MRE" section?

He who thinks, is a step ahead.

I like the idea, but for now, please do share your experiments, perhaps in the "civilian" MRE section.OhCanada wrote:MRE/IMPs are hard to get on the Atlantic coast without doing mail order so I have been looking at making homemade MREs for emergencies.

I know there will be great interest and feedback.
I do like the "complete" MRE packages, but I too have found that homebrewing gives me a better customized fit, and is generally a bit cheaper. Military MREs are designed for young studs in their late teens to early twenties, not for us middle-aged "less active" types.
The important thing is the spices.
