You southies wouldn't know though

Which MREs have the best flavor

we had this beef steak thing at pendleton that tasted awesome

👍

what do you guys reccommend for a bugout bag

Brand or size wise?

Size doesn't matter

like to put in it i meant

Ammo

A gun

Pocket knife

Big knife

Basic first aid kit

Trauma kit maybe?

Matches

Flashlight, headlamp, lamp lamp

Spare batteries

Mess kit w/ utensils (not necessary but helpful considering you can cook in the messkit and eat)

whats in a mess kit

What I used for scouts was just a small bowl and plate which could be transformed into a pan. It all fits together neatly

The pan handle held mine together

nice

how much do those typically cost

Actually it was this one https://www.surplusnation.com/products/168-deluxe-5-piece-mess-kit?variant=12155511406685&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=CjwKCAjw2dD7BRASEiwAWCtCb-UU5g0-BAlX3dQG0RxOrr89U3wuu5QZsXvz56stPJjZtp701tziiRoCiOgQAvD_BwE

Or something super similar

Looked the same

I'm not sure how much the one I used was. It's pretty old

There are different variants such as rubber material types and such

to cook?

Some come with a cup

Well you wouldn't cook with the rubber lol

They're separate kinds.

lol yeah

The rubber is better for backpacking since it's really compact

And light

I was almost thinking about one of those super tiny cast irons lol

Loool I mean that would work but it would also be heavy.

like the super tiny ones

lol yeah its ridiculous but itd work
