Life Boat rations

[CharlesHarris]

I keep either Seven Oceans or Mainstay lifeboat rations in my ruck. They are OK short term and to add in soups or to make porridge. Having peanut butter, jam, cayenne or curry to vary the flavor also helps. I ate them for a week once when we got snowed in camp during a blizzard, had gotten no game and ran out of groceries. Not my first choice for a gourmet meal, but much better than Ken-L-Ration dog food and Milkbone dog biscuits with only hot water melted from snow, with no tea or coffee left in camp!
