agreed. some peanuts are better than others. i have custom Ti body made by DeanJ that holds fluid for 6+ month.

that said, i carry a handful of mini bics in each survival kit, not peanuts.

fyi - you can blame me for the peanut issue, cause i'm the one that "discovered" them in 2007 and brought them to the attention of the EDC community so they could be imported to the US ( Old EDCF thread where they're mentioned)
