Also interested to know if it tasted like stale plastic barrel.

I have one that expired july of 2011 I'm going to snack on eventually. Feels like the vacuum is gone also.
I've been to quite a few asain households.....Are you saying you eat land-cats? Not sure if serious.
Not all land cats are domestic.
Also sardines bait in racoons even in the city. So I'm told.

I don't know from Datrex but I had a pre-Korean War In-Flight Meal Box (sort of like K-rats) for lunch on a school trip back in 1982 -- roughly 30-35 years old. It was spaghetti with meat sauce, canned fruit cocktail, and I think had a candy bar. The kid next to me offered me his lunch if I'd just throw out the spaghetti after I opened the can. I think it would have been tastier if it had been warmed up; as it was, it was like bland Chef Boy-Ar-Dee. The fruit cocktail was excellent.
I keep a few MRE items with heaters and other items in a coffee can. The good thing is one can pull the items out and use the can to heat water/melt snow. Also had matches and candles in it. Space blanket and a cheap sleeping bag were always in the truck. Running around town is no big deal but I used to go to BCGC all the time in the winter. Even camped out a few nights in the cabin back in the day.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
Yeah I'll go check the expiration dates on mine. We should have a "nasty old ration taste testing party" one of these days.

Done that. 14 YO MRE's have been tested and a bunch of canned goods have been tested. Most of the results would scare the soccer moms.Yeah I'll go check the expiration dates on mine. We should have a "nasty old ration taste testing party" one of these days.

Another thing I think for winter is to carry stuff that won't freeze into a big block of ice effectively making it inedible if you don't have a heat source (fire, etc) or can't afford to utilize your body heat to thaw it if it is too cold to do so.
I just keep a few MRE's in the car with the heaters and a canteen.
FHUGETABOUDIT!!!
K.I.Simple. I like
When I was stationed in Alaska, there was a surplus store that had Winter MRE's I tthink they were Long range patrol ones or "MCWs" never ate one myself, I was always curious. Had more calories in them supposedly.

i have a few datrex and a bunch of cliff bars in the get home bag and two liters of water. The kids made me a winter survival kit for xmas several years ago. Basically a coffee can and waterproof matches to melt snow, plastic and tubing to make a solar still, and a space blanket.
