I have a three day grab n go bag where the main food supply is Hormel Completes. These oval bowls are meant for microwave use but can be heated in a pan of water o r eaten cold like and MRE entrée. They come in a wide variety of flavors including new breakfast varietiesand are easy to stack in a pack. I supplemented them with ration bars and snacks and beverage. Best of all they need no water to prepare, simply heat, or not, peel the top off and dig in.
