I once used the heating pouch contents and asphyxiated fish in a small pond to catch and eat. I've also used the warmers and thick plastic bag as warm snow shoes. What have you done with MREs which they were not created for?

Back in the early days of MRE's they had one that contained a packet of Bean Component. It also had a large warning note: "Not for flight or preflight use". That was merely a challenge to us Seabees where we'd save them up for the Herc ride to see how much of a horn section we could create. Blazing Saddles MIL Style!

I've seen people eat them for sustenance. I do not recommend anyone try this maneuver.

It's illlegal to use poison bait in my home state however, serving the meals to unwelcome visitors is an inexpensive and functional way to discourage additional visits.
You can feed them to stray cats and dogs and they will NOT come back.
