Right now I have my WWII Mess Kit in the bag but am thinking VERY seriously about updating it with an SS pot. I'm thinking about this http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Ste...&sr=8-5&keywords=zebra+lunch+box

Yeah we've been buying up some soup and stews as well. Problem is Patty doesn't like most of them so it's a little more difficult.

We've got our Big Buddy heater with a case of 1 pound canisters so we should be good to go there as well.

Well, a canteen cup served us quite well in VietNam, and an empty can (like tuna fish size) with a few holes poked in it worked well as a stove. Trioxane or hexamine fuel tablets light easily and do a great job providing heat for cooking.

Yeah, I'm not to worried about a cooking heat source. PLUS our cook stove is gas, so that can work as a heat source AND food prep. We've got either 4 or 5 cases of bottled water as well.

I just checked the Swamp's site and it is "down for maintenance".

Oh and Did I mention we have access to about 60 cases of MRE's?

We have two at the house already and the others are at the Church, that was given to us by the city. Hey So who cares if they "Expired" last year.

Yeah it's been down for a couple hours now.

Backups are always good!

I'm getting tired so I'm heading for bed. Take care and stay safe. Good night.

Oh and those meals have their own heater packs too!

Nite Tom. Thanks for the chatter. Makes the night go buy quicker. Peace and rest to you and the General and all those you care for.
