MRE Storage

In order to get the longest life out of your MREs they are best stored at around 60 degrees. So you may have to plan a cooling system for your storage area. Here is an Estimated Life table of most MREs (in F).

  Degrees          Life
    120          1 month
    100         18 months
     90         30 months
     80         48 months
     70         55 months
     60         84 months

As you can see, 10 degrees of difference between 60 and 70 degrees can mean 29 months! Some MRE sellers say their products last for 7 to 10 years, but that's providing constant proper storing.
