World War III

I ate one in Siberia on a fishing trip. One Russian MRE is for the whole day instead of just one meal. It was convenient food to throw in a boat.

Digging a bit, I think there are different versions. The Moutain Ration is the full day of calories ration used since Afghanistan and developed for Spetnaz but seems to be the basis of their now rare ration packs, here's a review:



Having one pack seems like a bit of a PITA to carry for the day after opened. About two US MRE's will keep you going, three will prevent you from "going" as they're all dehydrating a bit...

Right now MRE's are sky high on Amazon but maybe it's the weather changing towards outdoor activities. I always think about buying some in fall in case we lose power and are snowed in, but there seems to be no advantage over having some cans around...
