MRE Survival Kits are basically package deals on MRE meals. These prepackaged cases of MRE meals are portioned out and packaged to provide the necessary daily calories for a designated period of time. Purchasing a 72-Hour, 1-Week, 1-Month, or 3-Month MRE Survival Kit is an easy and cost-effective way of ensuring a convenient and portable food source in the event of an emergency or disaster. 

Why Do MREs Make Great Emergency or Survival Food?

They are nutritionally balanced and decent tasting

MREs are designed to supply the right amount of calories per day for an average, active adult. The pre-cooked meals are nutritionally balanced and can be relied upon to supply the necessary vitamins and nutrients for good health. Most people familiar with survival foods will tell you that freeze-dried foods are the tastiest and closest to freshly cooked foods, but they'll also tell you that MREs aren't bad at all. The main purpose of an MRE is convenience and nutrition and to make that the primary goal means to sacrifice a tiny bit on texture. That said, what they may lack in texture they make up for in convenience two-fold which makes them absolutely ideal survival kit food.

They are compact, portable, and durable

MRE meal kits are small, dense little packages that are wonderfully durable and easy to pack up when you need to be on the move. Military specs require MREs to withstand harsh conditions including being air-dropped, and going through severe temperature changes including being frozen and kept very warm for a significant amount of time. While it is not recommended that you store your MRE supply in such harsh conditions, it is good to know that they can hold up when the situation necessitates a little rough handling. Because they are small and relatively lightweight, they are easy to pack into a backpack, box, or just about any other means of transporting them from one place to another with no worries that they will be damaged or ruined. 

They do not require any additional tools or utensils for preparation

MRE survival meal kits come complete with a flameless rations heater that is used to warm the pre-cooked food. A completely safe chemical reaction creates a substantial amount of heat to quickly, safely, and effectively warm the MRE food to 100 degrees. Food can be eaten with the included utensils directly from the pouch. MRE meals are the ideal short-term storage food for disaster and emergency situations primarily because there is no need to use a stove or fire to boil water (as is the case with freeze-dried foods) or carry a can opener (like you'd need for canned foods). Being entirely self-contained means that you can successfully utilize an MRE in any situation without having to either carry supplementary gear or use a fire or stove, which may be impossible in some situations.

Why Store MRE Survival Kits?

MRE survival kits are a cost-effective and convenient way to ensure short-term food needs are met in a disaster or emergency situation. MRE survival kits are not recommended as a sole food source for very long periods of time but are the ideal shorter term survival food due to their distinctly self-sufficient nature. 72-Hour and/or 1-Week MRE Kits are perfect for a home oroffice for power outages and other minor emergency situations as well as car kits in case of roadside stranding or being lost. 1-Month and 3-Month MRE Survival Meal Kits are ideal for emergency and disaster preparedness where help and the restoration of normalcy may take longer. A 3-month supply is also a cost-effective way to acquire a 1-Month MRE Kit for 3 people.
