How the fuck is all western MREs 30€-a-meal tacticool m4 extrem trail hike: school schooter edition when, going by sold out online listings, I could get a chinese self heating hot pot for like 5 eurodollars?

These things would be insanely convenient to just toss in my bike bag and have a warm vegan meal on a cold days bike ride

    I just throw in fresh green onion and sugar snap peas into the bowl before I pour the ramen in on top. Gives that veggie crumch that I crave.

      See my thing is if I had the facilities to store and prepare green onions and peas I could probably whip up like an actual meal, I like ramen for it's convenience of "throw it in my work locker and forget about it for 6 months until I forget or didn't manage to pack a lunch"

      Same deal with the hot pots, plus the self heating thing would be good as fuck for outdoorsy activities so I don't have to carry an extra thermos can of hot water

        If you can't grow them I recommend buying then on special, chopping them up into however you like them best then freezing them. Then I have them all year round!
