1981 MRE Ham and Turkey Loaf - Tasty?

I open and taste test this MRE from back when I was on active duty, USMC from 1980 - '84.
MREs replaced C Rations for service member's meals in the field.
Peanut butter, pineapple nut cake, crackers, strawberries, and of course our Ham and Turkey Loaf. How does everything taste? Watch and find out.

For what it is worth MRE, C Ration or Even commercial peanut butter in a sealed container will last 100 years. In my bug out kit I have several boxes of non salted crackers, several containers of peanut butter, a fishing pole, a 9mm carbine, 9mm pistol, (for simplicity and survival my pistol and carbine use the same round) Filipino bolo knife (also part machete), other utensils tools, fishing tackle box. 30 cans of string beans, 30 cans of stewed tomatoes. I hate either green string beans or stewed tomatoes, but when you mix the two... the taste is pretty good. Flour, corn meal, spices. The idea... worst case, I can eat peanut butter and crackers, but in that I will bug out to the deep woods and bayous of Louisiana, I can catch fish supplement my protein, make biscuits. Others things, please bring a water container and a bleach bottle. Get the cleanest water you can and to the gallon, 3 drops of chlorine will purify it in an hour. Strain the water though over or through thick cotton. Bad water will kill you. I am a novice survivalist, but I grew up fishing on the bayous and creeks of Louisiana and can rough it for quite some time. When the Govt, says come to the Govt Center for food, lodging etc. When the big disaster happens. Sorry not going to be under the shotgun shells and bullets of the govt. The govt is welcome to find me deep in the overgrown thick wilderness of Louisiana. Even I know, they aren't that stupid. People disappear in the Louisiana outback... We don't know if it was a human that did it or an animal, the body is never found. Good luck finding me. Oh yeah when I get 100 miles from my wilderness yanking the cell phone battery out. Off the grid for the 90 days to 6 months it takes for the USA to right itself. Other useful items hammer, nails different saws, hunting archery set. Who knows you may have to construct a dwelling.

Take care of your own. Think it through! Fishing is easy, fish jump on the hook. They will bite even on diet soap. That two pack of diet soap will let you fish for two years. little slivers, but they will bite on the guts of the fish you already caught. Free fish bait. Then there are critters, squirrels, rabbits, deer, swine. The whole United States is over run with pigs. welcome to pork city, the back woods. Bring batteries and a radio simple am/fm tune in every new broadcast at 6pm/10 pm. Keep tabs on them as they have no idea where I am. One time had my kids down on the pier at the Tampa Bay skyway. My girl said: "wish I was fishing" I said give me a minute. I went along the pier found discarded hooks and fishing line, found a broken cane pole and a fish someone discarded. Five minutes later she was catching fish. Give a man a fish he eats today, teach him to fish he fishes a life time. Been fishing since I was three... 64 years. Have a good one Ancient. Most folks are so dependent on the Government it is as if they never got out of the cradle. I love America, I love Americans, highly suspicious of my Government. But I pay my taxes and spent 20 plus years in the Army from 1973 through 1998.
