There are many reasons why you might find meals ready to eat (MRE) to be a convenience. For some, it is having the nutrition and food that they need when they are out on the trail in an easy to carry package. For others, it is stockpiling food that can be easily stored, takes up very little room and has a long shelf life for emergency purposes. Regardless of your need or why you might decide to purchase these ready-to-eat meals, the XMRE 1000XT is an option that you would certainly want to consider.
Most average MRE options are going to have in the range of 1300 cal, but that may be too much for certain circumstances. In addition, some of the MRE options may be a little bit too large for the average person, but the 1000XT provides exactly what you need when you need it. When you are out on the trail, this convenient little package will pack up to 1,200 calories and that is enough to keep most people going for quite some time.
Another thing that you will appreciate about the XMRE 1000XT is the fact that it is military grade, so everything within it has been field-tested. The meal itself is packaged fresh and it has a long shelf life, so you can count on the fact that it will provide a nutritious meal, even if you have it in storage for quite some time.
Of course, it is always a good idea to rotate your survival food on a regular basis and this meal is no different. It is a great option for those preparedness weekends, so you can rotate your stock at that time. The XMRE field packages have the expiration date stamped on each one, so you never need to wonder if it is fresh.
Something else that you will appreciate about the packaging is the fact that it is tamperproof. Each of these meals is packaged in a high-density packaging and contains an outer bag that is stamped with the lot number and the date that it was packaged. It is also waterproof, so you can take it out in the field, even under poor weather conditions and you will have a meal ready to go when you need it.
One of the things that many people look for in an MRE are options and the 1000XT certainly provides the options that you need. Inside of the package you will find the main course, a spread, a bread item, a snack and dessert. There is also an accessory and beverage kit included in the package, so you can make yourself some instant coffee and have a spoon with a nondairy creamer while you’re in the field. It even includes a condiment kit and moist towelette so that you can clean up after you’re finished eating.
If you’re concerned about nutrition, and it is a good idea to keep your eye on what you’re eating when you are in a survival situation, you don’t need to wonder what it comes in the XMRE line. All of the nutritional information is found on each individual pack, so it is easy to access the information and to have exactly what you need, depending on why you need it.
Any of the meals that are packaged under the 1000XT line are fully cocked and ready to be eaten, right out of the pack. In fact, it isn’t even necessary to cook them before you eat them, although that is something that most people appreciate about this MRE line. One of the optional items that are available with this MRE line is a flameless ration heater (FRH). In no way is it necessary for you to have this heater in order to get the full benefit of this MRE but if you prefer to eat your meals hot, it is an option that you should consider. It is not a standard item, however, so make sure that you order the MRE that is right for your needs.
The XMRE 1000XT is packaged in a case of 12, which makes it very easy for you to have as much as you need for a long weekend or to put in your survival pack or go-bag. You can choose from a wide variety of menus, including marinara and meatballs, chicken tomatoes and feta cheese, Asian style beef strips, penne pasta, chicken pesto pasta, vegetarian taco pasta, and chicken chunks. There may be different menu options, depending upon the lot and pack date so it is important to check this in advance.
When you need calories on the go, the XMRE 1000XT is an option that you should certainly consider. It is a convenient choice and one that can make the difference in surviving comfortably or going hungry.
