DIY MREs and prepackaging dry food

[Crimson_Phoenix]

Did anyone back up the thread from the old board where one of the members showed how they put together DIY MREs from commercial off the shelf dry food and retort pouch meats, then bundle everything in a sealed bag with a vacuum sealer? I want to say they had step by step instructions with photos and a list of suppliers for some items like the individual size condiment packs, spoons close to the MRE spoons, etc. Work friends are interested in doing camping once the weather cools off and I thought this would be a good preparedness project in general to have ready in a grab 'n go bucket.

Jeez, I completely missed this when you posted it last year, Crimson. I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the photo-heavy overview of my DIY 3-day emergency ration packs.

I'm re-animating this thread because I just posted a great price for a 12-pack of single serve Starkist Premium White Chicken retort pouches in the Amazon deals thread. Those are potentially an even better protein choice than the very similar tuna pouches I used in those homemade ration packs. I came here looking for that ration pack thread but I can't find it. So I think you're right it must have been on the old ZS forums.

If people are interested I can post another overview  of the refreshed ration packs built around those chicken pouches. It wouldn't be for a few weeks though as my schedule is crazy busy for the rest of this month.

I approve of this necropost.
