To prevent water from escaping and to maximize heat output, always keep:
– HEATER located UNDERNEATH MRE;
– BAG folded OVER TOP of MRE; and
– CARTON INCLINED, with FOLDED END of bag UP.
It doesn’t need a cup! Use your teeth to tear off one of the bottom corners of the bag, drink it like that. Much easier than having to clean a canteen cup later.
I’ve never been in the armed forces, but long ago my future husband and I shared a memorable breakfast hitchhiking and spending a night on a Lake Michigan beach just north of the Mackinac Bridge. A can of water heated over some driftwood, a teabag, and some dried figs soaked in it.
Well, we did similar things more than once…
I don’t mean to make light of the difficulties faced by people in harm’s way, but the comradery and shared food might well become happy memories?
