    That's the most absurd thing I've heard today. What is one good reason for them adding meth to mres?

    Your doing this incorrectly, everything you eat before they ring you up is free. Says so somewhere I'm sure

    for me, i run nightly and am home every morning. regarding rations, i do take along 3 to 4 bottles of fresh water, peanut butter crackers, or breakfast snacks, or granola bars. all that i do take, fit nice and neatly in my "gym bag" carry on, along with a quick change of socks, and a pair of jeans.

    when i ran the road, of course i had more, but not so much any much different. i only wanted "quick" or just sustainable foods. then too, having a fridge in trucks back then, was never heard of.

    All sorts of canned goods and a few gallons of water in the truck at all times. Way better than MREs IMO.

    LOL Yes they do. I got one when I first got back on the road,. thinking I was going to be eating good. Takes over 45 mins to an hour to heat up a can of ravioli or beef stew.

    I'd fall a sleep before my dinner was was even warm.
