    I like it. I always wondered about the extended shelf life on things like this. Some of the freeze dried stuff I've got also has a 20 year shelf life.....would it know if it was 22 years old?????

    I think it's like a parking meter. Once it reaches 20 years and a day a red flag pops up.

    I don't think I can buy Reman noodles for that and they practically give them away.

    It all sounds good to me. Well, Whey Milk doesn't but I do like Blueberry Pancakes (with bacon).

    The bacon will have to be a do it yourself job. I'm guessing two 55 gallon barrels per 5 gallon bucket should do the trick.

    That's why I was packin' mine up earlier today. One bucket and 3 tons of bacon should last me in Venezuela.

    Do it after you've been out in 50 degree below weather. For three hours. With no gloves on and your hands out of your pockets (or anyone else's pockets either - you ain't a lawyer). Please record the snapping sound for me. I'll play it over and over again on my iPod.

    As a caveat (a Latin word you don't have to remember to get bacon in Traxistan) please know, RICK, that holding your hands next to any heat source (open fire, hand warmers, Hugo's mouth, etc.) violates the "50 degree below" rule.
