    I absolutely love your homemade MRE ideas. I Put the earliest expiration from what I am packing in these on the outside of the bag. As that date nears, I move them to a frequently used cupboard for a quick 'grab & go' packed lunch. I try to make a note of which combo's are prefered the best and replenish accordingly. Thank you so much for these types of videos.

    Our Search and Rescue team ( SAR) members are each required to have 6 days worth of food rations packed into a 5 gallon rectangular plastic bucket. Because Emergency SAR work is high stress the rations must be high in calories ( 3-4K per day). This can be done with each meal individually sealed in its own plastic pouch. Balance the nutrition between carbohydrates, fats, proteins, sugars...look for the densest nutrition foods. In an Emergency Situation, because of stress and exertion, you will need tons of calories to function properly. These meals should be edible without adding water, and not require cooking. Prepare for the worst case imaginable. Prepare accordingly. YOU CAN DO THIS.

    this has some helpful tips. I had a young man come to my door, homeless, hadnt eaten in days, no winter boots his feet were soaking wet. I was not willing to let him in my apt, as i am a senior lady alone, and he could have been on drugs, I just didnt feel safe inviting him in...but I did give him what I could to eat. Now I have the idea to keep on hand packages that I can hand out to these homeless youth who are in my neighbourhood. food they can eat without having to cook it. anyone else have any ideas I am looking.

    Most of these items are already on my grocery list regularly. Adding condiments, beverage mixes, and flatware I really all that I need to think about getting and I can begin packing and rotating these MREs. Thank you. Even though I regularly buy most of these items, backing them up so that I have an idea of how many days emergency food I have on hand will make me better organized.

    Hi I’m 12 years old and I can’t convince my mom to prep anything. She says there are other things she can spend money on or whatever. But she should consider that beers and cigs are not things that you should spend money on! But when I’m older and have my own money and place, I will be an awesome prepper and survival guy and will make costome mres and have supply caches buried around the country.

  • @kasarrah1619

    If you keep the bags at full length and seal them at the end, you can re-use the bags after rotating out the old, saves a bit of money

    Wonderful ideas. I don't have typical breakfast things for breakfast. I have meals. I figure I have a full day and will need the food energy and then I have the breakfast things for my evening meal since I am just going to rest and go to bed so I don't need the calories. I like this idea and will have to make up some "MRE"S" for myself!

    Slider bags are great for older people whom have motion or grip problems with their hands. And can be found at dollar general for about $2 in 2024.
    Also I recommend freezer bags as they are heavier and less prone to puncture. Been using them for years.

      You're fortunate to have Kroger as an alternative, San Antonio used to have Kroger and Albertson stores but they left town decades ago because they couldn't compete well enough with HEB. So now it's just HEB, Walmart, some specialty stores, and a few and far between Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. I don't like that situation.
