Simple, just read the instructions, and follow them. Make sure to use a Rock, or something also, like the insructions say. The "something" can be almost anything. Use your imagination. People from West Virginia or Arkansas may have a problem with these instructions. Email me with any ?'S.

Hi Guys,I haven't seen anyone ask or tell so here is a my tip,before you open the crackers break them at the portion marks aginst the edge of a desk or counter using gentel pressure then open the retort and they will be almost perfect.

Good point, Kman also told me to knead up the chicken or meat into little pieces within the pouch before opening so that you don't have to cut the meat up while eating, another WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT? scenarios for me.

C'mon now, let's not perpetuate stereotypes. Some of the dumbest Mfers I've ever met were from big cities, and to get even dumber usually requires several years of higher education and a degree, e.g. look at politicians.

The salt charge seems to help on close to date "flameless water heaters". Just add a pinch of salt when you add your water. I saw the tip on a stickyfingaz video. Some rations come with saltwater pouches for the heaters, so this makes sence.
