Question
How big of a supply do I need to sustain my family during an emergency?
Answer
Consuming only MREs an average adult would need about 2 per day, so a case would last an adult about 5 days.
Question
I get my MREs from my family/friend in the military or I buy cheap MREs from the swap meet or I buy my MREs from someone who gets military surplus MREs--- what's the difference?
Answer
Eagle Ready Inc. ships our MREs fresh and direct from the factory into a secure, sub 70° environment. A military MRE has the same shelf life, but here is the big difference. Look on the case for a manufacture date and you will not find one. How would you know how old the case is? It is impossible to know so why take the chance.
Most of our competitors have no manufacture dates or old dates. You should expect to pay less for milk or meat that is about to expire.
Question
Why do you call your MRE the Perfect Meal?
Answer
Think about how you prepare your typical meal. Heat up the stove or oven, wash/cut the food, cook the food in pots and pans, get out the utensils and finally wash everything that you made dirty in the process. Our MRE requires no preparation, no outside fuel source to heat up, and no messy cleanup-you just eat out of the pouches and throw it away when you are finished!
Question
I am well prepared with backup electricity through my generator and I even have propane gas stoves to cook my food. I will just use what is in my refrigerator. What place do MREs have in my emergency planning?
Answer
Eagle Ready Inc. cannot stress enough the need to be safe. The use of propane tanks in your home during a storm will be more hazardous to you than starving. What will you do if the generator does not function correctly? Of all the people you know that have generators, when was the last time they checked to see if it even turns on? Do you know how much gas is needed to keep a generator running for an extended period of time?
An MRE is a hot, great tasting meal that does not require fuel. MREs are a must to any food storage plan. 1 case or 50 cases, there are a number of situations where you will be glad you had an MRE to eat.
Question
Why are your MREs any different than what I may find somewhere else?
Answer
Freshness-Eagle Ready Inc. ships direct from the manufacturer on a regular basis. Taste-You have to try it to really believe. Yes, the manufacturer of military MREs did indeed make a recipe for the rest of us in the civilian population. The included heating unit requires salt water (included in the MRE) be added to activate. With this improvement, condensation, humidity or spilt water will not activate the heater until salt and water are added to the heater. In other words, less or no accidental heater activations.
Question
How will I know when your MREs are expired?
Answer
Each and every case is marked with a 5 digit manufacturing date. For example, "07116". In this example, the case was manufactured on the 116th day of the year 2007. Question the freshness if you do not find a manufacture date.
You would be amazed how many MREs we have researched with manufacture dates upwards of 3-5 years ago. If you do find a date on the case from 3 years ago, then your case is worth less than half its value due to the typical shelf life being 5-6 years.
Question
I use canned goods and dehydrated goods in my food storage, do these items store longer?
Answer
Reference www.webmd.com and any other food expiration website, you will find that canned goods last, in premium conditions, about 1-2 years. Keep in mind, humidity in some areas will cause cans to rust even earlier than 2 years. Our MRE has a 7-8 year shelf life at 70 degrees.
Question
A 5 gallon bucket of food at Sam's Club or Costco has food for 120 days. How does that compare to an MRE?
Answer
The bucket is made up almost entirely of soups packed with vitamins to keep the body fed. Keep in mind, for 120 days you will only eat a vitamin soup instead of a hot, complete meal found in the MRE. The soups need water and also need to be cooked requiring a fuel source. The instructions read - "simmer for 20 minutes" That is a lot of fuel to cook a meal that does not have real meat. We suggest tasting this product before committing a large portion of your food storage to this idea. The bucket of soup mixes is a good supplement to any food storage.
Question
I use canned goods and dehydrated goods in my food storage, how do canned goods and dehydrated goods compare to MREs?
Answer
Regarding food storage, Eagle Ready Inc. has always supported the idea that food storage needs to have variety.
Question
How are your MREs stored?
Answer
Our MREs are stored in a secure , sub 70° environment to ensure you receive the freshest case each time.
Question
Should I purchase an Eversafe MRE when I hear of a possible emergency?
Answer
Eagle Ready Inc. keeps in stock just enough to keep up with normal monthly demands. MREs and food storage in general is really insurance. Insurance in the form of food for times when you will need to have something to eat. The majority of these situations come unexpectedly so prepare to some degree now.
