Kitchens take time to set up, and some crews never get near one: a hand crew in a spike camp, a security team at a remote site, the first people into a hurricane zone with no power and no open stores. Shelf-stable meals fill that gap. They need no refrigeration, most come with a flameless heater, and a case rides in the back of any truck.
On federal wildfires, MREs are also a standard NFES cache item ("FOOD - MEALS READY TO EAT (MRE'S)"), and the federal incident business standards list MREs and sack lunches as adequate food for crews. KDT supplies MREs and commercial shelf-stable meals by the case or pallet, stages them in your supply unit, and delivers to drop points and remote sites. We track dates so the oldest stock gets used first.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide MREs and shelf-stable meals?
Yes. We supply MREs and shelf-stable meals by the case or pallet and deliver them to your incident, drop points and remote sites.
How many MREs do I need per person?
Plan about three a day for someone living on them alone. Crews doing heavy work often need more calories, so add snacks or a fourth meal.
How long do MREs last?
Roughly three years at 80°F, longer stored cool. Heat shortens shelf life a lot, so we keep stock shaded and rotate it.
Should we use MREs or a mobile kitchen?
MREs cover the first days and remote crews. For a camp of any size over more than a few days, a mobile kitchen is better for morale and nutrition.
