I’ll stick with civilian MREs. I’ve already picked up a case of 12 from XMRE. They don’t have as long of a shelf life, but also have meal heaters and don’t require as much water to prepare.
Wise put up a 10% off/free shipping code, so the savings is $3 if you haven’t bought anything from Woot this month ($5 shipping), $8 if you have (I have, so I might buy this since no shipping costs the rest of the month):

They sell it at $119.99, 10% off is $108. The nutritional info is over there, too.
(addendum to moderator’s comment: I tried it, too. I took the code at face value. I’m not going to try calling them. I guess we assume for now the code does not work.
Oh, and most of their food is 30% fat or less (looks like the beef, egg, and sauces are the only things >30% fat: this kit has none of these).
[MOD: I can’t get the discounts to work.]
The Price on their website is now $239
Looks like they inflated the price after your post to make this Woot Look like a good deal?
It appears a company Rep is posting here as well.
Shame on WOOT for all these gimmicks lately.
That’s why I never seem to buy from WOOT anymore.
To add to that… FAT is needed during stressful times. Not suggesting walking around gnawing on a slab of pork butt but these are what you said, FOR EMERGENCIES. If you want something that you can control the amount of fat, look at mountain house and other freezed dried foods. For example, I keep a 72 hour kit in my office. The highest fat is the scrambled eggs w/bacon. 19%. I would be a little more concerned about SODIUM content. And don’t just buy these to shove away in the closet till needed. Try a meal or two so you know how to prepare them properly. May I suggest you get a case of emergency water. Each pouch is 4oz, shelf life of 5 years and can even handle being in hot or freezing environments.

But if you want to spend more than 99 bucks at Cabelas, they have it for 22 bucks. Keep a case of these with your meals. You will need water to re-hydrate the food so these make a good companion.
what about for a road trip? my buddies want to cut costs where possible.

Ramen cups. Apples. Oranges. Dollar store instant coffee. Yum. Have a nice trip.
I thought about buying it but I can’t morally do it since they changed their price in their web site to make it look cheaper.
lol. It is also on weareallgoingtodie.woot.com but I guess you can put anything you want in front of woot.com and it will take you here
