I am in Hog Heaven ......... It did not get here in time for the last trip but it is here now.
Boy does this bring back memories of some good times and some bad ones.
What is it , it is something quite simple that most , if not all of the guy's I go paddling and camping with use when it comes around to happy hour..... NO , Not the drinks , that is before happy hour , the main happy hour is when we sit down and chow down on all of the food we have for a meal and we always have a lot of it.
My official , Ya can't destroy it no matter how hard you try .....Stainless Steel GI Mess Kit. The original fry pan for anything , or the put the SOS in there , cookie , and let me at it pan.....Done , all gone , good ... then ... Dunk it in the hot water then the soapy water and the final rinse and use it again for the next meal. Or just scrub it out with some sand and rinse it in the river pan.
The indestructible , cook in it , fry in it , boil in it and then eat out of it stainless steel GI mess kit. It and my little alcohol stove with the pocket cooker or over a open campfire will give me for a lot of back water miles with some eating comfort. I really think this is the best thing our government ever came up with for the guy out in the field.
You can do like I did and get all of the new fangled stuff to use but when it comes down to the push or shove with realibality in one simple , light weight , unit .... this is it. Nothing fancy , just practical and time proven for survival.
You can even pack your knife , fork an spoon in there along with spices , hot sauce and salt & pepper when it is closed up. Everything in a neat , small , lightweight indestructible unit.
For you guy's who have been missing the pleasures of the Stainless Steel Mess Trays which will hold more then most folks should eat ....... Especially service chow http://www.imsplus.com/ims44.html will have then in the near future. :lol: :lol: :lol:
