/mre/

Prepare your own meals and dehydrate them. MREs, Mountain House, etc. are too expensive for what you get.

I don't know. I live near one of the largest military bases in the U.S., so local surplus shops are full of cheap MREs. I can grab one for about the price of a McDonald's combo meal.

>>902401
You can make your own meals for less than that.

>>902401
$5 for 1 meal?

I can prepare a day off $5. No wonder you burgers are poor.

My time isn't free. I'm no NEET.

>>902407
I spend a few hours on Saturdays cooking my meals for the entire week and store them. Saves time. Stop being a fat loser that buys $5 constipation meals and McDonald's because "time is money"

Assuming my "free" time is roughly equivalent in value to the time I spend freelancing (I can pick up more projects like I pick up STDs.), an hour of my time costs ~$25 (in a bad stretch) Assuming I just want to make three prepared, shelf-ready meals for a three day survival period (or three days of /out/), then I'd need 9 meals. Assuming it takes about 30 minutes per meal to prepare a meal, then I'd need to spend four and a half hours on preparation. Not bad, but that comes out to costing me $112.50 from the implicit costs alone. Or I could spend about 40 bucks at Mom and Pop Surplus Beans and Ammo.

Really, I think you're making yourself poorer than you have to be. Maybe you should take a basic microeconomics class on Udemy or something?

Best.

Oh my. He's one of the underage kids from /biz/.

Lived two weeks off of them. Not too bad, but they get boring after a while, and all you think while eating them is "when the fuck will i find a marble pound cake".
I dont think ive ever used the heaters besides for making an mre bomb.
Also i think the mre shits must be just a meme because everyone in my platoon shat better while on mre's than on regular food.
>mre farts smell like death though

I actually prefer MREs to real food, but they cost a fair bit. Hard to get in canada. Legit MREs are rare, and IMPs are rare/cost a buttload. Anybody know some good civilian brands that ship to canada?

You can't /ck/ at all, can you? Meaning you've never really done it for yourself, right?

One hour is all it should take. You have a 4 burner stove and an oven? A crockpot? You can make a week's worth of meals for a whole family with an hour of time per week. Leave the crockpot on while you work, come home to 2-3 days of meals. Make a roast with veggies? While it's in the oven do your laundry.

>four and a half hours

lol, no

Even a large frozen pizza (2 meals at least) is 2 minutes of actual work and 18 minutes of doing shit other than cooking that you have to do anyway.

>Maybe you should take a basic microeconomics class on Udemy or something?

Maybe someone should have raised you correctly.

>>903164
why are you sperging out at op? Jesus christ man.

"waaaaaaah, somebody has a different trail food preference than I do, waaaaahhh!!!"

Stop trying to spend his money for him. He didn't ask you before he made it and it doesn't appear he needs you now.

And this is an assumption you would only make if you never got past Microeconomics 101 on Udemy.

I get Mountain house at Costco. I like the beef teriyaki and rice.

My favorite is the veggie burger with BBQ Sauce and veggie lasagna. Not only do the vegan MRE's taste better, but they don't clog you up! MFW I was getting $120 per diem and living off MRE's for free making bank while plebs willingly gave them away because "hurrr pussy vegan shit."

>>903236
I mean vegetarian not vegan, not that it really matters.

>>902342
What kind of bullshit MRE is that?
No fucking way there is that much food in one.

>>902396
I get boxes of free MREs sometimes, because literally no servicemember wants them if they "acquire" extra.

whether or not it's a good idea to buy MREs or Mountain Houses or w.e. Where's the best place to find these things? Every so often a case of MREs pops up on clist for cheap, sometimes they're cheap on ebay, but does anyone have suggestions?

>>903804
I just get them from Amazon. They all seem to have the same prices.
