Time Capsule

On Their recent camping trip, The Fuzz and His Sweetie did their cooking over the fire of course.  

Since there are no longer multiple mouths to feed, they have moved into a more individual-type style of food preparation.  Each caries their own mess kit and utensils, and usually prepares their own meal according to their individual tastes.  This works out rather well, and saves weight.

Along with his fork, spoon, etc, The Fuzz has been carrying this "Accessory Packet" from some old military "C Rations".  Of course it was quite old, and Our Fuzz himself, had never had cause to actually use it.


But that morning, having not brought his coffee pot (to save weight) he got to thinking about that packet of "coffee" in there.  So, just for fun, he decided to see if it was still drinkable.

And so he opened this small Time Capsule.  This stuff is probably 50 years old.

Having been involved in Military Things some years ago, it brought back some memories.


So, let's have a look at what we have here.


Here's our "Cream Substitute, Dry (not that The Fuzz would ever use it)


A bit of Salt (always good to have)


Some Sugar


Some Chewing Gum (looks like it's past it's half-life)


Matches (for the smokes we don't seem to have)


Coffee, Instant Type II


And of course the Toilet Paper!

You'll have to check back with The Fuzz tomorrow to find out about that coffee.
