^^^Good info^^^
Never heard that before.

When the world goes to hell I'll be your guys medicine man. Lol. I grew up going on trips with my dad for work (natural products research) collecting samples. All that stuff stayed with me.

Olive oil while mountaineering, a spoonful just before bed, keeps you nice and toasty warm as well. Especially if it's bellow zero.

Used to add it to a cup of hot cocoa (dark chocolate in a cup of boiling water, with powdered whole milk-if we had any, and a little sugar). As mentioned, also keeps things moving & regular in the am...

My wife had me commit to a 1 mile no hunting zone around our house.

I guess I made too many comments about rabbit and squirrel stew.

No such problem around our place. The wife has commented many times about if it goes bad these doves go first. I could drop them all day long out my kitchen window with a .22. They come after bird seed and chicken feed and that is fine with me. One dove a day takes care of a low protein requirement.

Not too many rabbits around here, but the geese move in the winter, and all though I don't care for goose in a pinch they will keep you alive. Plenty of deer and elk close but those will go fast.

If shtf that 1 mile limit is null and void

One of the things learned about the Mountain House and other dehydrated products is that you need to use the correct amount of water when consuming them. I had a gentleman working with me who enjoyed eating one of the meals straight out of the package. Well he ended up with a great deal of gastric distress because the product absorbed much of the liquid from his system. Lots of liquid helped him and a lesson was learned.

From late Oct 90 to mid March 91, for about 150 days MREs were all we had for breakfast, lunch and dinner. That and whatever we could supplement with care packages. During that roughly 150 day period I can recall six meals other than MREs. Cold T Rations for Thanksgiving, hot T Rations for Christmas, two hot meals in a mess hall while in the rear, once on a 24 hour R&R and the other when swapping our M3A1s for M3A2s, bought a dozen eggs for breakfast once and one last hot T Ration before crossing the LD.

Was "regular" (once, maybe twice daily) the entire time.

The mess hall meals gave everyone the runs as it went right through us.

While this is the exact type of information I was looking for, that last sentence made me very hesitant to "like your post.
