    And For My Next Trick....

    .... I'm experimenting with repackaging the ReadyHour meals I got last week into smaller, single-serving packages.

    Click image for larger version.  Name: Repackaged ReadyHour Meal.jpg  Views: 2  Size: 63.2 KB  ID: 10149

    Once I had the measurements figured out (how much meal material and how much water), I entered that into an Excel spreadsheet and used the copy/paste function to make 25 instructions per 8½x11 sheet of paper. Cut with scissors and attach with clear packing tape. I didn't want to use self-adhesive labels as moisture would make the ink run and I might end up making the directions unreadable.

    I start with a 10x16 mylar bag, cut it into four 5x8's and seal the long cut end. Then attach the instructions, pour in the food, apply a light vacuum and seal.

    I'm not planning on doing this for long-term storage. I'll leave them in the original packaging for that. This is more for use during camping & backpacking trips.
    Keep calm and try setting SCE to AUX.

    How does that brand chili mac compare to mountain house as far as taste?

    That is one of the MREs in the case I picked up. Wish I had kept up on dehydrating my own meals but it went on the back burner

    The Mountain house taste sets the standard for me they are very tasty especially beef stew and chili mac.
