>>1504176Absolutely hands down Mountain House in terms of quality, taste, and shelf-life all in one 10/10 package. The only downside is you will need to get many different things, i.e. your entrees and different components individually. You can buy each in bulk, but they don't really make a complete MRE.
The nice think about MREs is they're a great no-thought no-setup meal. The downside to MREs is that's about the only nice thing about them. Number 1 chili with beans is hands-down the best components and taste out of an MRE I have gotten, Its totally preference though. Chili mac tastes disgusting in my opinion, and I also hate the supporting components with it. Honestly just buy a bunch of first strike bars now that i'm thinking of MREs. Great taste and nutrition.
