Its not that bad really, taste just grates on you after a while. In fact if you've ever eaten a lemon pound cake out of an MRE it tastes almost exactly like that only not as crumbly, its more moist and a little more chewy. Its fortified so I imagine you could live off it alone for some time.
Till it bound you up tighter than superglued together dictionary.
ten pound cake .
Meals Refusing to Exit. No fiber in em.
of course MREs in general bind you up , I remember not shitting for a week . it was like a rock in my stomach
That's about what that first poop after a week in the field felt like, that for sure.
You're mad! I'd much rather have reconstituted chemical food that at least tastes okay over literally, actually green fake eggs and rubber steak. Or if in Korea just go in Field Ma's tent for some bulgogi n' rice. Anybody remember Field Ma? I miss Field Ma, wish I had one following me around as a trucker.
Yup, thats exactly what field hots are, hot meals prepared in the field. But the food is all prepackaged and nasty. The eggs come pre scramblednin a big plastic bag and for some reason the tellow food coloring in em turns green after a while, steaks reallybare like rubber, chicken is all slimy, coffee is like industrial grade laxatives. I prefered the MREs, some of which are actually pretty decent. When I was in the Chicken Cavatelli was the prized item on the menu.
So, basically, you're a drunken sailor
I put a portion in a mylar bag with an oxygen absorber and vacuum seal it. Same with dried beans and pasta.
I will probably save some flour that way but I also wanted to make the hardtack to have ready to use. I have vacuum sealed the hardtack in bags, both mylar and regular plastic. Most of the dry stuff I vacuum seal I put in 5gal buckets with a lid.
