    @lukexu64002 years ago This stuff really brings back memories. The compressed bars come in three flavors, glucose ( cocoa ( and green onion & rousong ( rousong sometim id="hidden15"es translates as meat floss, it is made by pulling cooked meat apart (usually pork, sometimes chicken and beef) seasoning it with soy sauce, sugar, etc. And then frying in a wok until the meat is completely dried. Similarcompress biscuits were still quite popular since the 1990s and well into the late 20s and even early 2010s, i remember buying some of these biscuits on my way home from elementary school. They are pretty tasty and filling, so my mom often came down hard on me for eating very little during dinnertime. ...Expand 694

    i' ve been a prepper for a long time. I' ve got some i just ordered the first mres i' ll have ever had. It was never something i was excited about. I' m going to start eating them for lunch at work.
    i lived in the town steve seems to live in for most of my life. I had an apartment a few blocks from the address in the information under the video.
    i' m willing to bet i' ve met him since i hung out at military surplus stores and gun shows for the last 20 years or so.
    damn, i just realized i' m old

    @gary49362 years ago Steve' s pla rations always remind me of myservice in the plaaf years back; he was a political commissar with the rank of senior colonel within the airforce. My father told me about how he' d occasionally bring back army rations, which consisted of a large compressed biscuit wrapped in cloth. Luckily for my grandfather, the only real conflict of particular notice was thewar of ' 79, so he got to enjoy hot meals for the most part.
    a short story to tell. My grandfather had known an old vet, one who had served in wwii. Some time during the 80s, my grandfather, the vet, and i believe the chief of staff of the division had accompanied him onto an old biplane that apparently was in storage, essentially letting the vet relive his youth and enjoy the feeling of piloting a plane again. Anyways, midway through flight the engine in the biplane gave out, and the plane began to rapidly lose altitude. Unlike larger aircraft which can glide, a small biplane plunges downward quite fast. The crew onboard got lucky because they fell down over an evergreen forest. The old vet managed to wrestle control of the biplane and landed it square onto a pine tree, skewering it like a kebab. My grandfather and the two others then proceeded to wander the forest valley (known to locals as toad' s ditch) for three hours until they stumbled upon a small town where they could get picked back up.
    the pla rations are really cool steve. My family has no strong military ties (my great grandparents on my father' s side were poor northeastern chinese farmers) and my father chose to go to college and pursue chemistry rather than join his parent in the air force. You show me things i' d never be able to see otherwise. Thanks
