imagine gas station good, vacuum packed, with added preservatives for taste
then imagine everything is inside a bag, inside another bag, inside a bigger bag thats inside one big bag.
they will literally put a bag of skittles in a trilaminate pouch which will be in another bag which will also be in a bag.
a 3rd of an MREs weight is all the pouches. they generate so much needless trash. i get it needs to last long and be well packaged, but goddamn, its like half the weight at this point.
You can buy a single one on ebay for around $12 if your curious. I suggest trying one from Lithuania, they are moderately priced and are a ton better
