Good source for Milspec MRE's?
« on: November 19, 2008, 08:03:21 AM »
I'm finding it harder and harder to find a source for MRE's.  Unlike most people, I love them!  God help me, I love them so...

Anyway, anyone find a source for the Milspec brand that has them in stock?  Every place I've checked have been sold out due to the rations going to Iraq/Afghanistan.

Yeah they are hard to find. You might want to check Cheaper then Dirt or maybe one of the bigtime outdoors places, tho I doubt they'd have MilSpec. I forgot where I got my last batch cause I draw them down during hunting season and then refill them every two or three years. I always plan on having a two week supply at home ready of food and water. Good luck. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/MRE125-1.html

Most people have always thought MRE's tasted bad.  I found that they are actually pretty good from time to time.  Wouldn't want to eat them for a long time though.

All the good MREs are in package B, just to let yall know. I get mine from an armory right down the road where i know some
people. Theyre not brand new but they are still pretty good.

Why MILSPEC?  The same companies that sell to the military, also sell MREs to civilians.  And from the reviews I have read, they are nearly identical to the military versions except for the external packaging/labeling.  And you dont have to worry about a portion of the shelf life being used up moving their way through military surplus...

See the following:

But which would you rather eat, an MRE or sumtin you caught, didnt know what it was,and had to eat it raw,
because you cant have a fire or you might be seen.
