MRE Heater Instructions
MRE stands for "meals ready to eat." It is the acronym for military rations for those in the field. The heaters use a chemical reaction to warm the meal up just by adding water to the pouch of the heater. Use caution after activating these heaters, as improper storage of the used heaters can create a fire hazard. Civilians might find MREs and heaters at military surplus stores or on the Internet. Use the meals when camping or as an emergency supply in case of a disaster. Does this Spark an idea?
