Watch as I break down their use and effectiveness, providing a practical guide to leveraging these bags for your food storage needs.

Very good and after years they ate still sealed.

I love these things. Freeze-dried foods are $10 to $15 for about 400 to 500 calories, but they are popular because they are so convenient. Now I have the convenience at a fraction of the cost.1. They are easily cleaned in the dishwasher.2. The bags are sealed in a curve at the corners to prevent food from getting stuck in the corners.3. They open at the bottom so they can stand on their own so you don't have to do a balancing act when letting the boiling water cook the food.4. They come with labels so you know what's inside. I use a pencil so I can reuse the labels. The labels survive the dishwasher just fine.5. You can either heat them shut for long-term storage, or you can use the zip-lock seal to reuse them.6. Some freeze-dried meals have the rectangle standing up, so you have to dig deep to get to the food. This has the rectangle laying down, so you don't have to dig as deep.7. You can add or subtract as much food as you want. If the freeze-dried foods are 500 calories each, and you normally eat 700 calories a meal, then you have to combine the freeze-dried food with a granola bar or something, or you can just have the meal you prepared be 700 calories.8. You can add flavoring directly to the food rather than carrying it separately. Want pepper and parmesan cheese to go with your noodles? Just add it to this bag.9. I've never understood why freeze-dried foods take up so much space. You add couscous to this bag, it's a lot of calories for very little space. Your bear canister is only so big.Bottom line, I'm really surprised that from all the YouTube hiking videos I watch, that none of them have even mentioned this product, even if it's to say something negative. Do they not even know about it? If you do any camping or backpacking, you owe it to yourself to try these. (If you're just hiking for the day, then just a sandwich is fine, lol.)

If you are a backpacker and tired of paying $10 or more for freeze dried meals, these boiling pouches are for you. They are really sturdy with really robust zip locks. You can cram them full and they won't pop open. They also hold up to boiling water just fine. Each pouch weighs .6 OZ, which sounds heavy, but when you consider that you want need to carry a cooking pot, it more than makes up for it. I'm only carrying a 2 cup pot to boil water with to rehydrate my meals, which is more than enough. It also takes a lot less fuel to cook meals in the pouches instead of cooking meals in a pot. They are not tremendously easy to wash, especially on the trail, but you should be able to zip them shut and wash them when you get home. Won't take up any space in your pack once they are empty, since they fold completely flat. I have been easily able to get 1,000 calories in a pouch at a cost of about $3 per meal instead of $10

Seems to be in good condition. Haven't used them

After ordering from a few different companies, these were my favorites. Nice and thick, 400cc absorbers included in convenient packs of 10, stand up bottoms for ease of filling, and a handy ziploc closure so when we open the meals, we can add hot water, zip it closed and let it set to cook without worrying about tipping it over or spilling it. My new go-to favorite brand.

Good product, make my own backpacker meals with dehydrated stuff from my garden

Great MRE bags.
