Anyone keep MREs handy?


ZombieSlayer07 Posted: Wed, 09/19/2007 - 16:10

I've kicked this idea around for awhile now. The actual military ones are harder to come by any more but there are commercially made ones available. They have a five year shelf life but what do you do when they get close to expiration? The army issue MREs have like 9000 (no that's not a typo) calories. So you won't want to just eat them for lunch at work. I guess you could always donate them to the Salvation Army or something.

I have about 4 boxes of IMP's (Instant Meal Packets) and yes they are close to about 10,000 calories per meal. The Army issue ones have an Official expiry date of ten years, but if properly stored most paper packets can last a reasonable twenty years. And good ol' C-Rats can last decades.

Working on getting funds up to mass purchase MREs.

Damnit. Sorry. I realize I just deleted a crapload of posts. Accidentally. There was a repeat post and I went to delete it, but found out that everyone had replied to it and when you do that, the system removes all those posts.

FYI -- I'll fix that. Sorry.

I didn't lose any points did I? Cause that would suck. How else am I supposed to buy my C4 that everyone seems to have laying around?

Can you really buy stuff with points? Where is the "store" at?

It's a joke. No store. Yes, points were lost. Apologies.

My...My...MY POINTS!!!!

NOOOOO...

I don't start too many treads so no worries Eli.

How long can some one survive off fat? Depends on a whole bunch of factors. Most people (Even those Christian Bale in The Machinist types) can survive a month give or take a few days. It might be worse off to be very obese though, since your body requires more energy, etc. to function and some one like Rosie, with fat still on their body, might just crash and burn.

Don't quote me on that though, I'm not a doctor I just remember tidbits from survival classes.
