Every year we go to see the "Nuts weekend at Bastogne (see also Band of Brother episode 5/6)
They have camps at the former battlefields in the Ardennes, an Airfield, lot´s of reenactors, trucks, Jeeps, tanks...
So while traveling from one event to the next, we had lunch "somewhere". Too bad we had storm, rain and just 4°C (40F) so I decided to "cook" lunch in my trunk
I brought my new Jetboil (I got from Kyle) with me
and a MCW Lasagne
For better eating and taking picture, I reconstituted it in the Jetboil pot, not in the pouch
That lady is new to rations and she really liked it
Dessert was a
I had it for the first time too and it was great!
A real, driving German "Panther"

Cool video housil! Just curious, did that panther tank have the zimmerit anti-magnetic mine paste application on the turret? It looks like it has it simulated.
Zimmerit was a paste that the German army applied to tanks during WW2 to prevent magnetic anti-tank mines from sticking to the tank. Photos of tanks from then usually show it as a plaster-like coating.

I´m familiar with "Zimmerit", but don´t know if this was real "Zimmerit" or just simulated. Thought that was your question.
