Humanitarian Daily Rations

[Cavalry]

I keep seeing these rations for sale and they are pretty cheap, What the deal with them? I understand the part about they are a non meat/everyone can eat them ration.
At $4.40 each shipped it doesn't seem like a bad way to get 2200 calories?

If they're those halal meals we carried around for the terps and locals in Afghanistan, they seemed extremely unappealing

They aren’t too bad tasting for the couple I tried. Grabbed a few cases to have on hand.

They are all over the place. I get email alerts all the time for them from various suppliers but I am sure shipping would kill the deal.

Those are the ones

After much procrastination pulled the trigger on some cases. The price really is reasonable for what they are.

The market is full of these and getting cheaper. 2022 production, $15 a case and free shipping over $99 They are easily good for another decade properly stored.
That is like dried beans and rice prices, $1.50 for 2200 calories ready to eat even if they are not that palatable is still a bargain.

Trick with most of these Rations is making something out of them...yea, you're hungry, on the move, someplace you don't want to let anything outside the pouch anywhere near the inside, I get it, but if you're down for long enough to heat a canteen cup with hot water, then what you can add greatly improves what in the pouch...oh, and that Hot Sauce: it's true purpose is keeping the intestinal worms down....burn the little fucker out!

I have been into these types of meals. I had plenty of MRE's in my life, they are way too similar.

Decent price though.

I agree. Other than some long term bulk staples that I'll probably never touch, I prep what I actually eat. The only thing nice about these other than the price is the portability and ability for no cooking or heat. At these prices I see no reason not to have a few cases kicking around.

One thing I had not considered is using them for trading fodder. If someone is hungry they want to eat, not trade for dried beans that they have to soak then cook.
