Meal Kit Supply MREs - back in stock soon (3/30/20)

Boondock Saint · Mar 20, 2020

I received an email from them a little bit ago:

Several truckloads of factory-fresh MREs are enroute to our distribution facility and we are now taking orders for Sopakco Emergency Ration Meals and Sopakco Sure-Pak 12 cases.

Due to massive demand we expect these to sell out immediately. We will not accept backorders and we do not know when to expect a resupply after this shipment.

All product will be shipped on a first-purchased first-shipped basis. We will begin shipping out of our facility Monday, March 30. Prices include free shipping in the continental United States.

Thank you and stay safe,

Meal Kit Supply

If you were looking to top off or share with others, you might consider ordering very soon. They've been out of stock for some time.

Fort Meade Commissary had MREs for $4.75 yesterday, if you have Commissary access.

Hey, you older guys (like me) better stay away from MRE's . That stuff is made for a young kid who needs to STAY AWAKE and fight all night if he has to. We have enough trouble getting to sleep. :lol:

***Yea no kidding. It is LOADED with sodium and fat. They tend to also have a LOT of calories which may not be appropriate for sedentary people. It will keep you alive, but it's definitely less than ideal for an older person with high BP, overweight, and just generally out of shape and unhealthy. Most adults in this country are over fat and don't exercise enough.

I have several cases as a last resort.

$10 a meal? am I reading that right?
I can't even read the nutrition info

I had ordered some MREs from sportsmans guide once and was dissapointed. 250 calories per bag.
Small 69 cent can of corn beef hash was better than that and likely lasts longer.

someone tell me why an MRE is better than canned food if your not having to carry it?

****The MRE's I have are like 1200-2000 Kcal per bag. They usually have an entree, a side, a beverage powder, some kind of dessert and a mint, condiments, nuts, or candy, etc.... They also have a water activated heater to heat the entree. I can't eat the whole thing. It could easily keep me going the entire day unless I was doing a lot of manual labor, etc... I paid like $55 per case, and bought several with free shipping, from Sportsman's Guide, like 6 months ago (mebbe a bit more..)

***This is what one of the individual meals looks like. I bought all 20 "Menu" options. Some are really good, and all are very filling. Loaded with Sodium and Fat, along with protein. Very energy dense food. They are not health food by any stretch, but they will keep you alive and able to move and work for sure. Last resort perhaps, but they don't taste bad and keep for a long time if stored well.

WHERE are you finding a can of corn beef hash for .69 cents???

That's my favorite light breakfast. Cooked on a single propane burner, on my truck's tailgate, while in my bathrobe... because my wife can't stand the smell of it cooking.

I don't expect them to still be in stock, but in the camping section of Walmart, they usually have freeze dried Mountain House meals, Just add hot water. When we'd go to Walmart for our supply runs, I'd often go back and grab a little ammo, and a meal pack. I have 2 5 gallon buckets of them. About $5-6 each. Build up a little at a time

The benefit of eating mre's is that you don't need toilet paper but once every 5 days!

Actually a common effect after eating them for a few days. Not sure why.

Blast from the past: after deploying to Saudi back in 90-91, we were WAY out west from Damman. Middle of a lunarscape desert. Flat. Completely flat.

Had to take a crap? You started walking outside of the perimeter, straight away hoping to get out of sight. NOT HAPPENING. One could NEVER get away from the eyes that followed you. All laughing. Pointing. Until eventually everyone had to take a crap. Then the laughing and finger pointing stopped. :innocent0

I don't know if it's a culprit but I looked at some MRE's recently and I'm shocked how much fat's in those bags. The Southwest Chicken MRE had 60 grams of fat. That's enough fat for two decent size steaks. I got the slippery $h!t$ just reading the package!

The last time I enjoyed MRE's, was in the mid '90's. I haven't sampled these present new age MRE menus so I have no experience of the digestive effect of those.

I can say with certainty that the MRE menus of the '80's and '90's certainly jammed you up. Maybe a lack of fiber.

Just don't chew the caffeine gum.

The problem I see is, a lot of the calories are the sugary beverage powders.

OK if you are working hard.

The one thing to watch is, they list "servings" but really, one pouch is one meal.

One thing I pointed out on the group section was, Wise bases there X meals for Y people, on SERVINGS. Which works out to like 600- 700 calories per person, per day.

Mountain House is more like 2000 calories per person per day for the kits.

These were the good old days. Traded my cigarettes for canned peaches a lot. The spaghetti and beef stew wasn’t too bad.

I never saw Cigarettes in my C rations. I guess they phased them out in the '70's?

They were still in them in the early '80's.
