That reminds me of an old survival skill of disinfecting a knifeblade by urinating on it prior to field expedient surgery. Fresh urine was also used to disinfect a wound. I think I got that from a couple Nam POWs. I've never given it a try, nor have I substituted urine for water in my MRE heaters EVER!!!

I've only had one MRE that I detested. It was the cheeseburger meal. What they called a meat patty and the two clunkers of bread were only edible if you grimaced hard while chewing. They can't make enough catsup and tabasco to fix that one. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
