Food & Water

I saw these 3 oz pouch Salmon pouches at the store and bought a few to try them out. I am not afraid of food in a pouch like some old timers. I've eaten my share of MREs, and the foil pouch tecnology is much lighter and more compact which makes food in puuches good for storage and packing along on hikes, camping trips, etc.

This Salmon was prety good. You could taste the salt, in fact it was almost like a slice of ham. A good size for a snack or adding ot a meal. I will be buying more next time I see them at the store These cost me $1 each. It has a 'use by' date of 12-2010 (more than two years from now)
