MRE Brands

[Just_Tin]

I'm setting up a little (weeks worth) survival kit for Jodie and myself.

I know some of you are in/from military and have had experiences with every flavor under the sun. So:

Which brand is the one to look for?

Any flavors to avoid?

Where do you get yours? (i've been browsing ebay/amazon)

Thank you

I have never eaten an actual MRE before, I've had preserved camping foods though. I'm just kind of worried about not being ready for what "could" happen. A set-up "bug-out" pack is what im shooting for.

Most MRE's are about 2-3,000 calories apiece. So in a survivial situation you can get by only eating 1 a day.
