A case of MREs is a great Christmas or other holiday gift for several reasons. MREs have a shelf life of 5-10 or more years and if you keep them in a closet or other cool, dry space with a year round steady temperature they will last for many years. Therefore they will have this gift for years to come. MREs are also a great gift because it can not only be there just in case you need it in an emergency, but also for hiking, hunting or a day trip in the car. MREs are even great just to try out. Rip open the case of MREs, take apart one of the packages and youll be amazed at all that fits in there. Youll also be amazed at how good they taste. MREs taste as good as or better than anything you buy in a can or package at your local grocery store and serve your family. Imagine Christmas morning having one of your family members open up a 20 pound gift and all the laughs youll get from a case of MREs. I bet when the laughs and joking pass, theyll keep them around and add a little extra level of help in any type of emergency situation. Sopakco MRE .

Do you know of any self heating meals in case of an emergency? I just heard of EverSafe.
i have emergency water and first aid. i figure i can grab the cans out of the cupboard for emergency food.
ya know i heard about a self heating can of soup awhile ago – maybe in a preliminary survey. campbells even. but i haven’t seen or heard about it in the open market. i imagine they would have a lot of kinks to work out to avoid being sued by some dummy.
