[pct-l] military rations

[kdpo@xxxxxxxxxxx (Ken Powers)]

The weight was pretty heavy. Searched online and it said about 1 pound each.
I remember it the box being much heavier than that.

Lots of extra stuff in it - small napkins, tobasco bottle, plastic
wrappings, cans, instant heat, matches (why both?), coffee or tea or
chocolate, gum, moist toilettes,.... Nothing I would want to carry very far.
For car camping it might be okay. I still think I prefer my chili mac and
cheese.
