[pct-l] MREs?

[Thomas Jamrog]

I have 3 on the shelf right now and they range for 1 pound 10 oz. to 1 pound 12 oz.  For 1 meal.   Heavy for long distance backpacking, but I use them for shorter overnight hikes. One of my military-wanna-be friends gives them to me. They are fun. Some have had heating packs.  They also have all kind of little interesting things in them, like tiny bottles of tabasco sauce, chicklets, drink mixes.
