Let's face it. Today's Civilian MRE's (aka- Ready to Eat Meals) are not like Military MRE's. There readily available; if you plan ahead, and they taste pretty damn good.
soooo..... by the time you pay the cost in ones Expo Camper build to put in a refrigerator, sink, stove, cook top, the energy source for those, installing ancillary for those (plumbing, electrical) etc.... you could have bought ??? half year to a years* ???? worth of food in MRE form that comes with heater's built-in.
Things that you have to do with or without kitchen no matter what in your build that shares cost with building in a kitchen.
. Some of the plumbing .. maybe.....
. refrigeration ... or would you even really "need" that?
. the power source for heat and AC
. power source for electronic Intelegence and charging of them... (laptops, Monitor/TV, cell phone etc.)
Con-
. you will be less prepared in situations of long-term: Bug Out / SHTF (Shiatz Hitz The Fan) /:elkgrin: Zombie Apocalypse :sombrero:.
. need to plan and build in more trash storage
Pro-
. leaves more money for AC, Solar, Solar storage etc.
. creates more places for storage in your build.
. planned wisely you will have MRE's for home emergencies
So put on your thinking outside of the box hat...... throw out your thoughts on this please? Give me other advantages? Disadvantages? Pros and cons. Like how much does it cost to prepair a meal including energy -vs- a $4-8? MRE ($12-24/day /person)
