During outfield, I didn't bother to bring any of the combat
rations... except for perhaps the dog biscuits and the Milo
powder.
I would just buy one box of Uncle Toby's and survive on it
exclusively during those 3-4 days in the jungle.
Needless to say.... outfield == weight-loss program for me.

i never finished a single packet of my ration, usually eat the
biscuits and energy bars. and occasionally the desert.. duno why, i
just have no appetite outfield..
but the pastas arent too bad, the rice ones suck..
