I could see them used for things like extended backpacking trips, etc.

The dehydrated food you get at outdoor stores is decent too, FYI

\<$6 a meal

Not bad really.

If you want something tastier and a little more money, I recommend [http://www.mountainhouse.com/](http://www.mountainhouse.com/)

they are VERY good and VERY filling.

Depends, winter or summer MRE. Get the white bagged ones, and your pushing 4000 calories easy. The summer ones are usually 1200-2000 each. At least they were before all the stupid new fofo ones.
