Just use a Zestotherm (MRE) flameless heater in a padded mail envelope instead.


I've not been too impressed with the MRE heaters.

After handling the Trekmates Flameless Cooking system, the conclusion was that the trekmates Flamless Cooking system was indeed expensive to buy, expensive to run, slow to heat (not any slower than the Zestotherm MRE heaters) and heavy (especially if operating in an arid area). The main downside is the expense. But then again the Zestothem MRE heaters are expensive as well when purchased in the UK. Two Quid a piece. shocked

The high power 50g Trekmates Heatpacks will produce more heat than the Zestotherm MRE heaters and will have a similar purchase price in the UK.

Using the 50g heatpacks with a Addis 502263 Clip cover food case with boil in bag products such as

and a pouch of Uncle Bens Basmati Rice (you should be able to sufficently heat 2 pouches at once.)

The main problem of producing water hot enough to make a decent cup of tea still remains a real problem though.


BTW you can use a conventional compressed gas cooker inside a tent. i.e. jetboil etc
