    Good info. My only suggestion is to use your own cook set to heat up your meal. Chemical warmers stink and are easily identified from a distance. Also bring something hot to drink if you aren't on hard routine.

    I always kept most of the food (I’m not eating 20 fucking mints) and always kept the salt in particular. Made them a bit bigger than yours but never worried about food. We wouldn’t eat all them most of the time anyway come to think about it…

    I have a giant box of all the extra shit in these MREs I dont use (drink mixes, coffee, gum, etc.), I'll never use them. But I can't bring myself to trash it. I'm tempted to turn them into inverse MREs. All the worst parts of a MRE. None of the calories.

  • @BoomerChimichanga
    @BoomerChimichanga 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I do it a little bit different. I strip down into whatever I may eat as a meal, for when I have time to get into the pack and eat a meal, and usually dump all my snacks into a freezer bag that goes in a more easily accessible pocket or pouch, so I can munch when I get a moment to munch. Just like a pistol is something to help you fight your way to your rifle, munchies are what get you through until you can finally "enjoy" a meal. Just gotta say, MREs are WAY better than the C-rats I spent 10 years having to pack and eat back in dinosaur days. But C-rats did have one big advantage over MRE's - if your primary weapon went down, you still had your can of beanie-weenie and/or fruit cake to throw at the enemy! 😉

    Back in 2008, we got brand new FLCs for our deployment and I did not like it at all. I wound up getting an Eagle Industries chest rig for most of my time downrange. When Ingot back home I gave the FLC another chance and after working on it I really fell in love with the system. It is honestly the Rodney Dangerfield of webgear. Most don't know how to use it and far too many don't care to learn. When the system is used properly, it is comfortable and works like a sewing machine. Nowadays I wish I could find more uses for it in the civilian world, lol.

    Heard a 'black light' will recharge those old phosphorous markers on the dial - not sure as I don't have a black light. Anyone know for sure? Luminous paint on the distance markers would work great. Suppose folks who never had to work in the dark and 'stay dark' don't get it. I get it Lucas. Keep mine in original snap pouch zip tied and corded to the ALICE Y-harness shoulder strap.

      @paul7754 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Few if any are as durable. I've broken several 'plastic' top shelf (2X the price) 'Sxxxx' compasses just on pursuit hunting engagements - not extreme combat. I love the accuracy and weight of the modern poly compass in camp laying out and planning routes but in the field when I need it (I roll non-digital) - no thank you.

      100% agree with the response from Venture for a high quality map, but if you just need a laminated sheet to stuff in an admin pouch, or to give to a buddy, USGS has topo maps all over the US that are free to download and print. One of the few things I don't feel like my taxes are being wasted on.

      I forget where I learned it, but one of the cheapest way to get full size topo maps is to download the full size maps from USGS, and upload them to Staples and have them printed full size on large format paper. I printed the 9 grids adjacent to my AO, and I have a set which is in the correct scale.
