How the fuck is all western MREs 30€-a-meal tacticool m4 extrem trail hike: school schooter edition when, going by sold out online listings, I could get a chinese self heating hot pot for like 5 eurodollars?

These things would be insanely convenient to just toss in my bike bag and have a warm vegan meal on a cold days bike ride

maybe. some of it is the "what its used for". emergency rations for pilots used to be 5 packets of lifesaver candy because its sugar - easy calories and that was it.

a nutrition brick is basically just a souped up energy bar if this was the ration doled out for a recon mission only expected to 4-6 hours you might get this. china has other rations for other situations
