Spoot I totally see you as a shoot first kind of guy. Some times when I dream about the Pandemic, I pretend that's how I am actually; but when it comes right down to it, I am too much of a humanist at my core.

But, then again, that is way over shadowed by the existentialism, so yeah. What's wrong with shooting first again?

Additionally is it wrong that what Charley just said made me really hungry for some?

They're rather good. If I didn't mind wasting one of the packs I have around the house, I'd open one up and give you guys the play by play.

Curiously for a foodstuff that ******** dense, it doesn't make you extremely thirsty. I mean, you'll want to get a drink of water eventually, but if this were hard-tack or something else instead, I imagine I'd be ready to drink a gallon.

Why are people so insistent on MRE's? They're not very space effective rations.

MREs, if they're anything like C-Rations, will be among the survivors of the holocaust, next to twinkies and cockroaches. My old rifle coach was in 'nam in... '74 I think, when he opened a C-ration and found a P38 can opener stamped "1952". That C-ration was older than him at the time, and it was still perfectly edible.

Just don't get the ham and lima beans, and you'll be fine.

EDIT: Damn, add a P-38 can opener to the OP list. Check out all those uses...

You have me all wrong. I'd only shoot if I had no other option.
Shooting first is too destructive in the long run. Selective targeting will save more ammunition and lives in the long run.

Huh? What, for being in 'nam, or for eating a 22 year old C-ration?

And they taste like pre-packaged shite.
But do you have a better idea?
Scavenging will only get you so far and hunting/foraging would heavily depend on the area and your knowledge of both.

Are you kidding? I'd kill for some beef stew!

I hear the pasta-based MREs are extremely good. I've got to try one some day.

Absolutely, I lived off MREs at one point.

You can do all that with a decent knife. Which you'll want 3 of.
One for zombies, one for food and one for utility jobs.

There are only two things worth a s**t in MRE's:

Crackers & cheese
Dehydrated fruit cup.

Especially the fruit cup. It's just a solid bar of crunchy strawberries. Awesome!

Being in Vietnam. My uncle watched his superior officer cut a woman from her pelvis to her breasts oull out her entrails and skin her then turn the skin inside out to wave down a helicopter. The whole time he kept muttering "gook" over and over. s**t makes my skin crawl to hear about it.


I knew a guy whose job it was to make naypalm stick to Vietnamese skin better. Then there were the massacres and the killing of women and children. Back then the US measured sucess by body count. Of course back then they fire-bombed coffee houses that served military men who had gone AWOL.

OMFG, I adore the fruit. It's always the first thing I look for.

The crackers kinda suck though.

You can get them cheap and easy if you know where to look. xd

He was, like, an officer's official assistant. The only noteworthy thing he had attached to him was a crypto clearance, so he could transfer codes. I don't think he was ever involved in combat.
He did have a humorous story though involving a 6-pack of beer, a one-pound bag of peanut M&Ms, and a shower room all to himself. It ended in much vomit.
