Fun fact. You are not supposed to live on MRE's for an extended period of time. The low fiber content among other reasons is why the DOD recommends not relying on MRE's for more than 21 days at a time. They also don't all last 8 years when you get them. The safe bet is 3-5 years. As long as you eat them and rotate through them. Keeping a months worth isn't a bad idea. I like my home made freeze dryer meals better than a lot of the MRE's I used to get issued and honestly mountain house while pretty good on average is are not verry filling and get pricy quick. Most freeze dried meal buckets are loaded up with cheap carbs to pad the calorie stats and not worth the money.
I've been playing around with soft canning recently and it's pretty decent. All you really need is a sealer that can do mylar pouches, but a chamber vac works best.
