There has always been a specific element of society that harbors a deep-rooted distrust of the conveniences we see around us. When the storms come to a blowing, the famines set in and social upheaval disrupts regular supply chains, who do you think is eating well and thriving while the rest of the world is in chaos?
A suitable supply of food and water is at the heart of a prepper’s survival strategy and today’s advanced food supply options are better than ever.
The Advantages of MRE for Emergency Food Supplies
The MRE, or Meal Ready to Eat, was originally designed and produced for military purposes. The self-contained food rations were distributed to soldiers who would be in operations and cut off from regular food supplies. Since their early beginnings, the MRE has become the most sophisticated food option known to man.
In comparison to freeze-dried “astronaut” food (just add water) and canned food (HEAVY!!) supplies, the MRE has some very specific advantages. First of all, the MRE can be prepared and consumed with little or no preparation. They are resistant to moisture and damage and are also very lightweight, meaning a single person can feasibly carry enough food to last them weeks on end.
Furthermore, they have a shelf-life that is considerably longer than most stored foods and the makings of a balanced diet for high output all in one convenient package. Finally, these Meals Ready to Eat are available to civilians for all types of outdoor adventures and emergency preparations.
The following review will introduce you to the advantages of the XMRE 3000XT 24HR, arguably one of the most advantageous products of its kind.
