Do they taste like the real thing? I've watched a few youtube vids of people opening mre's from Vietnam. The desserts looked good 40 years later.

Yes they taste pretty good. They are designed for warring soldiers and are way better than the C-rations we ate in Nam.

I'd try it. The veggies in the one I saw were more like baby food than vegetables, didn't look too appealing.
I would be the first to sign up but those damn travel restrictions.sign up for trim camp and find out
Yes they are but not for mountain hunting - counting ounces is a must on a serious hunt & they're too heavy for an extended stay.

Did a trip to Penobscot Bay on the coast of Maine, long peninsulas that I haven't taken time to go see.
Lots of good stuff. Finally drove 30 miles down these peninsulas.
Camden Harbor at daybreak, most of the schooner fleet never set sail this year.
Camden Library
Camden Hills, harbor filling with fog as the sun sets
Rockland Harbor, old whaling ship landing
Rockland breakwater, 4808 ft long, cant even see the shore anymore
Life station at the end
Stonington Harbor

MRE's are pretty good. When we first went to the desert there weren't any chow halls set up so we had MRE's for our meals. Some people were breaking into the boxes and taking the most palatable ones prior to the commander putting a stop to it. There was a motor generator in the hangar we used to heat the meals because someone decided we couldn't be trusted with the heaters in the kits. If you put a piece of the heater block into a water bottle and close the lid it sounds like a bomb going off when the pressure exceeds the bottle's strength, from what I have been told.

We had C rats for lunch when we went to the confidence course in basic, I'll take an MRE any day.

The tube food the U-2 pilots have is pretty good, the apple pie is a ground up home made apple pie., the caffeinated chocolate pudding will wake you up.
