If you're breaking into your MREs, they'll be both nourishment and morale rats. Plan accordingly. Think what you'd like to be consuming at the end of a long day stuck out in inclement weather, for instance. Or in the dark when you're feeling around in a buttpack by feel for the package contents. Or have to eat cold because you have no way to heat it up. Given that possibility, it might be worth your cost to buy some of the actual MRE heater packs to toss into your homemade version so you can heat up your entrees or your drinks. Whatever you make up, it has to be something you'll actually eat, and enjoy eating. The MREs themselves today use so many commercial products that are simply repackaged that you should be able to find something you can whip up as a home made variant that everyone enjoys eating. Be sure to come up with a decent number of meal variants. There's a reason that the actual MREs have 24 different meals. The same thing day after day can get dull....
