Morning gang, if you order mre's from eBay be very careful. You need to check manuf date and that is not always easy. My buddy ordered some and they came mixed mash, some very very old some in bad condition. The main problem is you do not know how they were stored prior to you getting them. If you google mre there is a website devoted to them with pics, codes, and even how to tell manufacture date by wrapping and contents, Hope this helps <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Good looking out, brother.

Hey, you're smart! No wonder You're a marine! I've been looking At Arch's list and the collapsible container was on it. JJ, we can't let Randy forget that he said that!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I think my sugar level was dropping. Therefore I can not be responsible for my earlier posts! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> BUT I got over it and have been working at a feverish pace to get my murse and BOB better fitted out.
On my TT bag, there isn't any sternum or waist belts. But I had a couple of gray straps with a fastex side release buckle that connects them in the middle and velcro on the end of each strap. Made a sternum strap out of it. I THINK that way I can use my web belt for a Belt order rig, at least I hope so! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I still need a few more items, Paracord, Water kit, a poncho (I gave mine away a few years ago to the trash guys that were working in a torrential downpour) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> Oh well they needed them more than I did, at least at the time! haha. Need to make a Tourniquet like JJ says the military uses now. I probably need to get a quik clot sponge, just in case. Oh well, I guess I'll figure it out as I go along and with the help of you Dawgs.

The kit sounds interesting. I went ahead and ordered one of each. Cheap enough. I'll let you all know what's up. Fred

The one thing that bothers me is that it is VEGIN. Don't get me wrong, there are times I DON'T want any meat, but how much craving for meat protein would be brought on by this? It's not a criticism, just a question because I don't know the answer.

I thought about that myself, that's why I picked up both. I certainly do eat beef on a regular basis. I just figured the neighborhood cats/birds and squirrels would be a good alternate source of protein <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Still need the fat though.

Now you're thinking. Many people curl up their noses at "Non traditional" or TABOO foods. Hey to some folks in India eating beef is one of the gravest sins that one can commit! It's all about YOUR culture. BUT I ain't eating no rice Bugs!
