Camping With MRE's in the Winter on the Appalachian Trail

Just a quick video to show a few friends how easy it is to prepare an MRE. Meals Ready to eat are great for camping when you just want a quick meal and dont want to light a fire or take out your camping stove to heat up some food. Also at the end there are a few random camping tips.

Your right it's really wasn't steam but it was definitely water vapor showing up because of the cold. (The same way you can see your breath in the cold) After all It was about 5 degrees that day. I have gone through a dozen of these things and they don't tend "smoke". Thanks for flammability tip ill have to try and light one of these things to see what happens. :-D

i believe that is the civilian version of the MRE.

[thunderbombman]

@iShemagh Your right it is. There are a few differences between the two.. do a quick search for "civilan vs military mre" and you will see what they are. In short, I like this brand (Sure-Pak) because they are inexpensive and you can take them on an airplanes. As far as the food goes they are 100% the same.. just not 100% the same amount per packet.

I deal with these MREs and ration heaters all the time in the military, you should be aware that that is NOT steam coming out, the water does not boil, it is part of the exothermic reaction of the water and the heating pellets inside and is a chemical release and it is flammable so don't let it get near open flame.
