RE: MRE Menu 16: Chicken Burrito Bowl
I also include an Esbit in my GHB and a couple of other comfort items also. The vehicle also carries the very food items I said I would not carry on foot, no need to waste the vehicles 1/2 ton carrying capacity!
since my great concern is the long term traffic delays of 8-10-24 hours, not associated with SHTF, on the motorway where I can not get off the road and take surface roads home my GHB more than doubles in sized winter to summer. Winter is when most of these delays occur.
I keep a big bucket candle, yes a big candle poured in a small metal bucket, in the vehicle so I can light it, sit it on the floor of the vehicle and have a minute heat source used with Mylar space blankets draped from windscreen to seat backs. That candle will burn for a week. (a simple tea candle will burn for 5 hours and a votive will burn for up to 17 hours, yes I have timed them)
The rule of never running below a half tan also applies here. Many people have perished due to not having presence of mind to keep a full tank, and not enough trust to cut a deal with the driver next to them to both sit in one car until it runs low on fuel, then switch to the other car.
Instead thousands of vehicles idle until empty with one person in each vehicle.
