What's that "Peanut Pattie" thing?

[DangerousDave]

A 3" GOODARTS 2.25oz. something. Goodart Candy Co. Lubbock TX. I guess George Bush is responsible.

I'm still scratching my head trying to figure what exactly is in that group that looks familar? Or even useful. Is this somebody's idea of a marketing scheme?

Advanced US model. Emergency Ration Kit.

Is this "US" a military item or a civilian thing?

Reminds me of this survival kit:

Survival Kit Contents Check - Dr. Strangelove/Slim Pickens


"Shoot! A fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."

Treesuit, like they say, you get what you pay for. For 26.25 US, not too terrible, for something to stick under the front seat. According to Best Glide, it's a NATO approved item. Approved for what??? Maybe the NATO Boy Scouts.

DD, where did you latch onto that kit? Interesting item.

A better description from their site.

Seems a bit pricy for what ya get, but I guess if the alternative was to buy each individual component, then ya it might be the way to go for someone in need of a ready made, one stop pack. OTOH, a few years back, a coworker of mine made some really basic survival tins and did it pretty cheap from what i remember. Something around $3-$4 a tin, not including my cost for the cigs the tins came in

Thanks for the link, MR.EMAN. That package looks like one of those static-free bags they put hard drives in:


I've seen some links to homemade survival kits/tins before. Some people even use those Altoids tins but I'm not sure how much you could fit in there.

An even better idea that I like is to use one of those Nalgene bottles to hold your kit - that way you get a good, sturdy container that can also be used to store water.
