The SurvivalCache newsletter features links to articles I find throughout the week on other Survivalist’s Blogs that I want to share with our readers. This week we have getting started tips for new survivalists, everything you ever wanted to know about MRE’s, and how to build an igloo.
1. M.D. Creekmore over at TheSurvivalistBlog.net put together a good article for new survivalists that addresses the question “what should I buy first and where do I start?” His suggestions are simple, easy, and not overwhelming.
Three Things Every Newbie Survivalist Should Have
2. The TEOTWAWKI Blog pulled a great article out of his archives this week all about MRE’s The article covers military versus commercial meals, buying tips, pros and cons, shelf life, storage, taste, and other tips.
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about MRE’s
3. Finally Rob from OffGridSurvival shared some great videos he found on building Igloos. I don’t think any of us is going to become a master igloo craftsman any time soon but the video is cool and you will pick up some pointers.

Anyone know what MRE stands for?
” Meals Rejected by Etheopeans”. Foxhole humor army buddy told me.

Just call them delicious!
hey all,
one of the things that is often forgotten in your gear listings is BOOKS. they can help the most inexperienced person learn about how to survive without all the bulky gear. Yes the gear is some times nice but like Tom Brown Jr. I love making my own tools like flint knapping a knife or using a forge and making my own nails, knifes, or in one case a tomahawk. you can learn the skills needed before the call goes out but keep the gear for those that dont know what you know.
that is just my thoughts on it.

The pork patty was AWESOME! Same for the dehydrated beef puck, err.. patty. I’d love to have a few hundred of those in my stash now.
Hey everyone. Question for you all. I have been looking for some Cases of MRE's for sale, and the best deal is 12 meals for $73 found @ http://tinyurl.com/3h3kbs3 What is the best place to find MRE's and at about how much? is this the best we can do? after the math i got about $6 a meal, which is not bad, but buying all the meals at once is a good chunk of cash…
-We cant afford to wipe with $100 bills, but knowledge is free, study up.
I orderes some off of amazon. It was the equivalent of 9 mre's for roughly 40 bucks
i like meals rejected by ethiopians………that about the truth of it……..
They will make a turd
Hes right mre's are expensive but hey survival isn't cheap
MRE’s may taste good at first or once in a while. Anyone who has ever had to eat them routinely or for an extended period of time will hate them. The novelty disappears very quickly. If you’re looking to buy some, try to find a Reservist or Guards member. They often have some on hand. I know a lot of guys who would bring their own food to weekend exercises in the field because they knew we’d get MRE’s. The MRE’s get picked through for the candy and thrown away or they end up in their gear closet at home.
OMG MRE'S ARE SO FLIPPIN GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed, sometimes I get them to incorporate into my daily meals.
