So far I've had a meal from each box and have no complaints, they are very fresh and were clearly stored properly!
This is not the sellers fault, but my only complaint is that my Box B came with a Meal 5 instead of a Meal 23, but that’s an issue with the packing company Sopakco which packs these for the military.
Would highly recommend these. People complain that these are "rejects from the middle east" which didn't get used, which could be true, but, from how I see it that's one of the primary sources to get these from as the military does not sell these commercially, so that's the risk that you take if you want these. The temp sticker on the box is a good indicator of the quality of the meals, if the box was stored in too hot a climate the indicator will show that.
The meals are great, good variety. Each MRE comes with a variety of items besides the main dish like sides, snacks, desserts, drink mixes, gum, TP, wet naps, your tactical spoon... and a few other things here or there likes spices or hot sauce. The food is actually good, my kids WANT these over other food, camping or not. And.. with a grand total of 24 different meals (if you get case A + B), there is a good amount of variety. Forget the myths and rumors.
The BIG reason I love MREs for hiking and camping is the self heating bag. Warm to super hot food in moments with no fire or stove, just a splash of water and a little waiting. You can stop in the middle of a hike and have a good meal with little fuss. Another great reason is all the stuff it comes with is great to munch on while on the move, and getting all the calories in ya that are needed for your trip. Each and every piece is sealed individually, so you can keep the kit in its main super strong sealed bag, or break down the kit to pack how ever you like.
The down side for me is very little. I can only wish that each and every meal number came with a coffee kit, or five... not all numbers have one!! I also strip out some of the "extra" packaging when I pack, but that is not too bad of an issue at all.
The box came wrapped in black wrapping, upon unwrapping it, I discovered that the time/temperature sticker was in excellent condition.
The manufacturing date was the 295th day of 2012, and the inspection date was 11/2015
The MREs are manufactured in 2012 and I would highly recommend these.
Menu B 2012:
13. Cheese Tortellini
14. Ratatouille
15. Mexican style chicken stew
16. Pork Rib
17. Maple Sausage
18. Beef Ravioli
19. Sloppy Joe
20. Spaghetti w/ Meat Sauce
21. Lemon Pepper Tuna
22. Asian beef strips
23. Chicken Pesto Pasta
24. Southwest beef and black beans
These are excellent for any preppers, military surplus collectors, or if you're generally curious about MREs and want to buy a case.
These are technically legal to sell; there is no law forbidding the sell and shipping of MREs. The "US GOVERNMENT PROPERTY" is just a deterrent against selling them by truckloads.
Again, if you buy from G&P Outlet, they aren't lying; their MREs are actually quite fresh, new, and have the latest menus.
Info:
Weight: 22lb/10kg
Depending on seller, comes in actual box and are relatively fresh
Have a shelf life of up to 5-10 years depending on storage conditions
Then there's the convenience of just heating them in a pot of water, or using the heaters supplied with the meals. I've cooked many MREs on the dashboard of my truck so they're ready to eat when I get back to camp. Saves me the trouble of setting up a kitchen, storing foods, and preparing meals, and I can dedicate my ice chest to more important things, like beer. MREs are not cheap, but they last for years. You can travel a lot lighter with these and will have less trash to pack out. Unfortunately, the packaging is plastic and can't be recycled or burned.
