Put me down for two cases. Thank you for coordinating this.

P.S. Thanks SmileDocHill for posting this up on the Project Appleseed forum...I would not have seen it otherwise.

Yes, it's a stupid question, but I'll ask just to make sure I'm understanding...

One case would feed one person two meals a day for six days, correct?

Yes. Each pack is about 1400 calories. I actually don't eat all the food in one setting. In an emergency like sheltering in case of a storm I would think 1 pack per day per person plus water would work. Under heavy exertion 2 would be almost 2800 calories.

Packs I got before had an entree, peanut butter, crackers, cookie, pop tart or vanilla shake mix. Doing that from memory.

yes, or if you are like me they serve as perfect food to have on hand at the office for that occasional time when you actually get a lunch. Leftovers go bad after a while and you have to remember to bring them. MRE's are good for YEARS so I worry not that I have food at work for lunches. Also for any day long event (indy 1500, appleseed or other event shoot, taking a class?) you can throw one of these in your bag and know you have everything you need (except water) for the day. It is easy and quite frankly any time you go somewhere where the other option is to hit a fast food or other restaurant they are cheap groceries when compared to eating out.

I carry one in my computer bag. Works good if I get caught in the field away from the office. We also pack a few with us when taking road trips along with a couple gallons of water. Feels more prepared driving through someplace like Nashville or Atlanta knowing you have food, water, extra magazine and a good first aid kit at the ready.

Wild Deuce: no need to pay up front, I prefer not to operate that way in case something goes wrong.

I'll add the new folks when the system lets me edit again.

 

[snorko]

I'm down for 2. Maybe if I'm nice Snorko will pick mine up with his (I'm in Evansville)

Can do. Will happily do so for anyone in the Evansville area. Shibumi has been kind enough to meet up when he picks up the past few times.

 

[shibumiseeker]

We're at 50 now. I'm going to leave this up for another week or so to see if we can get it to enough for 2 pallets, and then I'll order and pick it/them up and send out a PM to folks with payment info.

 

[Crocodator]

I'm in for two cases. I can help with bringing some over to Indy (far East/Hancock County) if needed too.

I think I still have one case from the previous group buy. How long are these meals holding up at normal "bottom of a closet" storage temps?

Oh and fig bars are bleh. I wish there was a different side.

I have a few from the first group buy (5 years old now) and they are just fine stored in my basement.

Thanks for posting that. I wonder what goes "bad" on them. I.e. would you be at grave danger eating some of it after 60 months, or perhaps just be at a higher risk of intestinal distress (but no longer term effects) due to spoiling?

They don't go bad, they just lose flavor and nutritional value. They are still edible and they still have calories.
I've eaten 25 year old MREs that were pretty bland but as long as the packaging is intact they are fine.

I'm in for 4. Just rotated out from the previous buy so great timing. Thanks for taking care of this!

OK, despite the fig bars, in for 1. Thanks!
