Have you tried any of these yet?
I'm looking for some smaller, snack sized items for our GHBs. These will live in the car 24/7/365. In Georgia winter freezing isn't much of a concern but the summer heat sucks, especially inside a vehicle. Do you think these would hold up to the elements for a year?

Thanks

In the heat around here down south, MREs are only good for about a month in the summer. If you want to leave some food in a car for a year, the only thing I can recommend looking at are lifeboat rations. Mainstay, Datrex, or my favorite SOS bars. The SOS bars also come in 400 calorie bars in different flavors.
