Unloading 48 cases off the truck if it doesn't have a lift gate. Just make sure you have help. How we do it at the main shop where we don't have a forklift |

Lift gate service is an extra 80 bucks usually. They will have a pallet jack. I'm having a mill delivered here in about 10 days that way. |

Make buddies with a local feed store or something. Warehouse guys will probably trade receiving for a couple pizzas. |

Home alone last night with no food plans so I decided to break out a genuine USA MRE.
So thats why people freak out over the cheese jalapeno spread. The meal didn't look appetizing but it was decent.The shredded beef was ok but the seperate bean pack was nice and tasty. The flameless heater worked ok but only gets the 2 pouches warm. Pic or it didn't happen.  Attached File Attached File Attached File |

When I was a kid the big deal was to get some C or K rations. They were pretty good, to me
at least. When my brother was stationed in Germany he got some French and Italian rations. Now they were good. There was a lot in each one so I guess one pack was to last you all day. |

Never tried the HDRs (have eaten a few regular and Halal MREs), but I can say the MCW (Meal Cold Weather) rations are absolutely awesome. The entrees are freeze dried MH pouches which makes a very large portion, even rehydrates with cold water and can be eaten that way. Very tasty, looong shelf life of course and great additions like pound cake etc. I actually look forward to having one, rather than choking down a retort pouch entree, no joke. (Infact, I'd eat a commercial Compleat over a retort pouch anyday).
Highly recommended. ETA: Available on ebay around $145 shipped for 12, so about $12 each, so a bit more expensive than what you're paying for the HDRs |
