I use the little packets for ketchup, mustard, mayo, and hot sauce. One alternative to hot sauce that I have used, are Tapatio packets. It is like a dry hot sauce spice packet; I always used them to spice up soups and the sort.

Nice, but after 20+ years of having to eat them things (MRE’s)....No more for this guy.
I know how you feel. When I enlisted in January '89, MREs were truly wretched. At Hohenfels the next winter, we field tested the magnesium heater packs. They hadn't worked out the bugs yet, and the packs had the annoying tendency to explode. Out in the snow, freezing your butt off, with a 5 meter chicken ala king kill radius...
Over the next two decades, they made the quantum leap to.......mediocre. I've tried some of the civilian offerings (like Meal Kit Supply), and some of them have potential. But even those need some doctoring to make them palatable for any length of time in the field.

Haha. Yep, the good ole’ days.

Call me crazy.. but the old dark brown MRE package that you could not open, even with a knife were the best. Loved the scalloped potatoes and ham. The dried fruit was fun to crunch. or just suck on it till it became mushy.

Lol! If you could stitch those things together, you could make a pretty good flak jacket! I can picture the engineers sitting back in the comfort of their offices having a laugh at those poor dumb privates out in the field stabbing MREs to death with bayonets trying to get them open....

[emoji38] Hell’s yeah!

Not to get off topic. The bags themselves cut right, made for some great splints for the fingers. Used them things for funnels and all kinds of good stuff.

Yep. One of those bags + enough zip ties = radiator hose repair...

Back to the topic: I'm looking into having a Cholula belt holster made. I'm only half joking...
