Well, we received the MREs promptly. We ate two of them, the beef stew and the jambalaya. We enjoyed them immensely. They’re very good. Be very careful with the MRE heater. That is one hot potato once you activate it. The extra parts of the meal were also good. And I would certainly not hesitate eating them either camping or in an emergency situation. You will need one 16 ounce a
bottle of water, however. 2 ounces to activate the MRE heaters and the remainder to drink the electrolyte mix that’s in the package. Otherwise, everything you need is in the package. Overall, I was very satisfied with the MREs.
