The Condiment Packet and YOU!

 

So I wanted to talk about something that you don,t hear to often in peoples B.O.B's (Bug Out Bags). When people discuss B.O.B's, it's about having supplies for 72 hours or a full line survival bag, as mine is I could live comfortable, if dropped in most area of the world, for a very long time, but thats not what I am talking about today.

I am wanting to talk about the little thing that everyone should have in there survival bag, the sauce packets,like Ketchup, Horseradish, Honey, Taco Bell Sauces (all), Mustard, Relish, & Cheese Spread, to name a few. When you are in a survival situation that one packet of random sauce, in what ever concoction of food you have scrounged up, could raise the depressed of spirits. You may frown on such a thing now, but when all you have is half a bag of white rice, that you have been living of of for 2 weeks in the middle of now where, ketchup and relish one night and hot sauce the next, is a god send. I always carry a large supply of packets, and rotate  when I got out to eat. Grade a hand full next time and put them in a zip log bag and shove them in your bag, I like to keep 2-3 bags placed around my bag.

When I was hitch hiking years ago (2001) I was traveling to California from Missouri and spent many days in the desert, between Flag Staff, Az and Needles, Ca. There was a few times that sauce packet made me feel human again in those lonely nights in the desert. This is a good simple item that could help you stay sane in very stressful survival SHTF moment.

Always Remember if it needs to be refrigerated, DON'T USE IT
