MRE purse

The Wikipedia entry of MRE's mentions bags made from MRE packaging used during Mardi Gras. maybe these could be a fund raiser for MREinfo.com

I like your line of thinking, Hardtack. But you want me to sell *purses* on the website

? I'll never live it down with all the crap the guys will give me.

How about something cool like a mag pouch or a concealed carry holster? That way, if someone sees part of your holster tucked under your shirt, you can just say, "Oh...that's an MRE...you never know when you'll need one." And they'll be none the wiser...

I like that Kman..... For now on I'll just carry my Sig 228 around in an empty MRE bag tucked under my belt.

And I can probably use empty cheese or sauce packets to carry spare magazines in as well (oh great, but now I'll have to coordinate my "Magazine Packets" with the menue number stamped on the bag).

Now to decide which menue number to use..... Decisions, decisions.

This is the best that I can do. Frankly, once you cut off the part that says "Country Captain Chicken" it just isn't scary anymore!

Nice work, Big Galloot. Maybe you should change that wording to "Gun, Ready to Shoot". :-)

my wife would probably leave me if i bought her an mre purse. she already makes fun of me for playing "army" that would just be the last straw.

bishopmarine...that has to hurt extra-much seeing as you're a former Marine and she's accusing you of playing "Army". :-)
