SOG DonationsSo I bought some MRE’s off a fire fighter buddy of mine he said oh they are only a couple years old so they will last ya for years. Well it was a whole box. Over the years that followed I ate one or two per deer season. A couple on hiking trips. 2 yrs. Ago I was sitting in the woods and I was actually playing around on my phone reading some survival stuff.(I had signal at this spot ) and there was a guy talking about how to tell when your MRE was made and that 8 yrs. Is considered the maximum time to keep them.
So I took the one I had just ate. And using the described method to decode it . It turned out I had just ate a 20 yr. Old MRE. !!! 
I never got sick but thats the last one of em I ate .

Was in a buddies car, he didn’t smoke but had a pack of cigs on the dash, one gone, I asked about them, his hooker had opened them, smoked one and left the rest, he told me I could have them
He was a bit of an antique dealer, I had previously got a Roman coin from him for working on his car, it was from the year 98
Well the cigarettes were not Roman, they were Russian
and from 1969
nasty
I smoked em anyhow

Despite your funny it ended poorly for her, she was a victim of a serial killer who targeted street walkers, that guy had to ID her body, I met him through her as I previously shared a place with her, when he’d come over his car often wouldn’t start to leave, which is how I ended up fixing it for him, more stories but inappropriate for sure

We ate C rats from Korea in the early '70s. No big deal as long as “bugs” didn’t swell the can or todays MRE. It does affect the nutrition, but it still keeps the belt from rubbing on the spine. I have MREs and liferaft rations that haven’t spoiled and have to be at least 20 years old.

Been stalking the mountains of this state for decades. Since I was a young lad. Never have taken any electronics, ever. Did trekking before them, still dont have any.
In the early 80s back in the world and having sorted out the evils of war.
6 of us used to have “survivor weekends” twice a month in the summer, and once a month in the winter.
There were always 4-6 of us, no more, no less.
We each got to take two items besides food & clothes. Mine two were my sunglasses and my knife. One guy would bring rope and his 38 stubby. etc.
Once the kid on his first outing brought a case of beer and a slab of elk meat. He only did that once. It was gone the first day.
We would leave on Friday night and come home on Sunday afternoon.
We were junior Rambos and the movie had not come out yet. Most the time the cops were not after us. Once a forest ranger crashed our camp.
He could see our fire from 10 miles away. Made made a bonfire so the late ones could find us.
We found out the ONE thing everyone forgot the first outing, but never again was toilet paper. I had some C-rat TP in my M65 pocket. They said I cheated on the two items, until they had to use leaves.

About the old cigarette thing. In Viet Nam one of the guys that smoked at least 3 packs a day decided to quit. He opened his last pack, took one out and smoked it, and kept the open pack in his pocket for temptation. Quite a bit of time passed and someone saw the pack in his pocket and asked to bum one from him. He gave the guy one. When he tried to light it he got quite a surprise. That sucker lit up like a bon fire from being so dry. Everyone got a good laugh except for the smoker. And to follow up, the guy that quit never smoked another the entire time I was there.

nah - I remember the lucky strikes that we use to get in the ration packs doing the same thing.
Or finding a discarded pack of players in a track - you always let someone else light up first.

I knew a guy named Pete Pistol ( was his real name ) and he smoked so many lucky stikes that he got all the kids a deck of lucky strike poker playing cards …Dang it wished I still had my set . That was probably like 20 decks of cards.
Oh forgot to mention Ol’Pete was a boyfriend to the secretary that worked at my Dads terminal Office they were probably 60 or 65

Who was the first person to die from smoking?
Sir Walter Raleigh.
He was burned at the stake for being a demon.
Gotta love Paul Harvey
Good Day!
