Living in the country, or at least what amounts to it around here, I"ve always been pretty self reliant. In other words I keep the pantry stocked, I"ve got a generator and enough diesel for several weeks, I can, and do usually heat with wood, cook with gas, etc. Too, if all else fails, I grew up hunting and/or camping nearly every weekend, so I know how to really rough it if need be.
That said, as things have grown around me a bit over the past few years, I"ve had more power outages in the past two years than in the previous 16 or so years. Too it seems to take them longer and longer to get it restored as I am near the "end of the line" so there are a lot more folks in developments, etc that get priority now. That being the case I"ve been looking into getting a few MRE"s or the like to keep on hand should things get stretched out longer than usual, and to take camping as a way to make things a bit easier come meal time.
I"ve had some experience with the MRE"s from 20 plus years ago, and there were a few that weren"t that bad back then, but at the time options were relatively thin. Another thing is I tend to like "plain" stuff, not the "gourmet" stuff they market so heavily nowdays. Looking online I know here are a lot of different companies making both MRE"s as well as dehydrated foods, etc that would probably fit the bill for what I want.
My question then is this. Who has had any experience with any of the different products available nowdays, be it the "modern" MRE"s or the dehydrated/freeze dried stuff? Too, of the brands/things you have tried which ones did you like or have good luck with, and which ones weren"t all they were cracked up to be? Granted I know that none of it is really all they hype it to be in the taste department, or at least in the experience I"ve had so far, but of it all, which is the best, in your opinion?
