Pros & Cons To Humanitarian Daily Rations. (A Cheaper MRE)

[@ericwitt4586]

I bought 4 cases of mres by SOPAKO for 25 bucks a case at my local flea market the dates are very good they have 14 meals instead of 12 i use them yea the candy is not a long lasting thing lol like the skittles I’ve been using the mres for years mostly for hunting or camping sometimes too !

[@ModernRefugee]

Thanks for adding your experience.

[@pats9055]

Thank you MR. I bought a case years back but have never opened them. Glad to see the contents!

[@marygallagher3428]

Thanks for the info MR!

[@brushbum7508]

Good Morning M R ! I just ordered, the $38 case, while watchin this. TAKE CARE..

[@MiddleEastMilli]

How many are in a case?

As I get older I find plant food is easier on my gut. Where can I find these? They would be great for road trips, a great alternative to fried fast food (and cheaper). Good vid, thanks, MR.

[@ModernRefugee]

I got them off of Amazon.

[@bradlafferty]

Thank you.

I love the Lentil stew.😋 The Shortbread cookie isn't as sweet as I like, and a bit dry, but not bad. The Pop Tart is just like store bought. All in all, you'd be happy to eat these during a disaster. Just don't eat these if you're on a diet.😄 Thanks, M.R.👍

[@ModernRefugee]

Stay warm, I hear cold weather is heading south.

[@JT-2012]

@@ModernRefugee We've had the longest cold spell I can remember, in the 24 years we've lived here. Guess it's Global Warming.🤭 We never turn on our heat and it was 43 deg. last night. I slept like a baby under my thin, $5 throw.👍😄

[@fgallogallo7]

Never knew they had a humanitarian type MREs. I do have a little less than a case left of militaryMREs. They’re probably around nine years old or better. I’ll be finishing them up this spring and summer. I’ll have to try the humanitarian ones I don’t mind veggies. Thanks, MR I learned something new today. Stay safe, my friend.

[@ModernRefugee]

That’s why I did the video to let people know.

[@armedjames2279]

Great video sir thank you 🙏 😀

[@MichaelR58]

Good video, thanks for sharing, YAH bless brother !

[@monkeyfoodgarden]

Thank you sir. Been looking into these as I pack allot of my own freeze dried food for long term storage but wanted some ready to eat options as well. Thank y'all for sharing, have a blessed day.

[@ModernRefugee]

Happy to help. You guys have a blessed day as well.

[@Derek-ls3wg]

The lentil stew is great actually.

[@glen1arthur]

Good morning. Interesting video.

[@ModernRefugee]

Hey there, have a good day Glen.

[@ReederReno]

Amen MR

[@Saintgrove4life]

Excellent video

[@ModernRefugee]

Thank you.

[@MtnManLucas]

I have purchased both Humanitarian Rations and Military MREs. The freeze-thaw Freeze-thaw cycle destroys the cellular structure of any food that is wet. Probably still edible but appears mushy.

[@subdawg1331]

wow ... thats actually pretty cool a lot different than our MRE s we used to get... These might workout great I have some Military ones that I have broken right down ... awesome video thanks

[@jenharvey3397]

This is a really useful comparison, thank you. I tend to find MREs seem better in theory than in practice, but then, I tend to eat them in a motel room after a day of sitting in the car. I suspect they'd taste a lot better outside, heated over a campfire after a day of heavy exercise! I won't spend the large amount of money on MREs again once (if) I finish up the cases I already have, but I may look into the humanitarian ones.

[@CIVILDEFENSEBUNKER]

I have these , mix in some squirrel and doves for protein and your all set.

[@ModernRefugee]

Yes or a trout!

[@prepperbookclub]

Its another good option to have. Some of the taste may vary lol.

[@ModernRefugee]

If you can live with bean and lentil entrees they are an inexpensive option.

[@KathysTube]

Thanks MR 🥶👍

[@ModernRefugee]

@@KathysTube today was warmer.

[@KathysTube]

@ModernRefugee Warmer here in the day but in the mid teens at night.. Weather in East TN is fairly weird... I've gone to the lake on New Year's day when temps were in the upper 70's and the next week we had a blizzard ☺️

[@edieboudreau9637]

Definitely not many of my faves but at least it's something. 😊

[@ModernGunGear]

Interesting. Hadn’t considered the humanitarian meals in the past but ever since my family stopped eating pork, vegetarian options are often a safe bet. I’m scanning the Internet now for ingredients list to see if they contain any other unclean ingredients, but I can’t find any… but again vegetarian is likely safe.. We recently were able to acquire five cases of military surplus MREs for free. I recently learned that if you have a Salvation Army distribution center in your area, they likely have a basement full of MREs(don’t ask me how I know ;))

[@billyjoejimbob1669]

I got a couple of cases for shitz and gigglez. I consider it barter level quality. Keep them for trade, not for your family etc.

[@sms102475]

Crazy how much the tti indicator left a divot on your thumb. With our recent cold snap it indicates we need more hydration.

[@patriotpreacher43]

Good information. One question. Do these items have bioengineered ingredients? If not, I will probably get some.

[@ModernRefugee]

It’s from .Gov, so it’s definitely not organic. It’s got ingredients list like a chemistry book.

[@patriotpreacher43]

@@ModernRefugee thanks!

[@KCSmith1]

Lol..at first i thought you were gonna whip out c-rations haha. My first intro. to freeze dried was Turkey Tetrizinie out camping with my dad. He was my biggist and first influece. when you live in Alaska you are prepared.

[@lens7859]

Bought a box of those from “Army Navy surplus” I think. Just keep them in the basement with the freeze dried stuff. Think I should start to use them up soon and rotate them out.

[@bethaspell1827]

Could that foil be used for a solar heater of sorts

[@ModernRefugee]

I’m not sure on that, but they are a heavy packaging. I’m certain a resourceful person could come up with a use for it.

[@thomasbrandon5111]

Good alternative

[@theIAMofME]

👍👍

[@KaylynnStrain]

I reviewed a few of these rations plus a newer version called Survivor Daily Ration

[@ModernRefugee]

@@KaylynnStrain I will check them out, thank you.

[@michaelpower2836]

My thing is avoiding toxic Canola oil, or rapeseed. It's in everything since it's cheap. Do humanitarian meals have it?

[@ModernRefugee]

Yes I’m sure they do. MREs and such are full of stuff.

[@mikhailkalashnikov4599]

Wow, there's a lot of stuff in those rations.

[@capnjimmy7357]

Shocked how much cheaper they are. I'll have to pick up a box

[@wherami]

Never heard of them

[@ModernRefugee]

That’s why I thought a video was in order. So people could look at them and see if they would work for themselves at a reasonable price.

[@Thoreau-e4l]

Never heard of such

[@ModernRefugee]

That’s why I did the video. Get the word out.

[@homegrown1015]

When things get tough and you are hungry, you'll eat that MRI and not complain.😊

[@jeffseven2194]

Can't beat the Humanitarian ration for the price. Just grabbed another 4 cases n unlike the Sopako the pop tarts are edible

[@glen1arthur]

I would think that they are vegetarian, because of some religious dietary. Some religions won't eat any meat, some won't eat this or that, some require a particular way of dispatching the animal.

[@ModernRefugee]

Yes, that is the reason they are vegetarian from what I have read.

[@BobNchannel]

well i am here in the Seattle area, currently we are getting food and cooking fire wood ready for the coming SH storm after the don gets in office
