I like MH meals for my Bug Out kits, but for bugging in, canned goods or MREs take priority for me. Water is bound to be an issue in a bug-in situation. We've got the room and don't need to worry about carry them so the weight isn't an issue. I also find the MH meals a little too salty and heavy for regular eating. After hiking, hauling, chopping, building, etc. though, they're perfect!

Thanks for the review of the MH Oven. I saw Les Stroud using one in an episode and wondered. I thought maybe it was a spiffy MRE heater. I've never seen them around here, but will know what to look for now.
