Incase anyone was interested in the follow-up for Omeals. I tried one on the water this weekend and man having a warm meal makes all the difference on the water. All of a sudden I can stay out all day.
The meal does heat up quickly to a warm temperature. Taste is decent considering there's a 2-3 year shelf life on these things. The serving is only 8oz which I felt wasn't enough for a full meal. They need to make double servings of this stuff. But having this and a bag of trail mix or mixed nuts is enough to keep my energy level and enthusiasm for getting skunked all day.
I am ordering a dozen in different flavors for the next Baja trip and seeing if I still like it.
