I like them. They used to be one of the main products sold by militia of Montana. They bottle fits in a canteen cover then can later be used as a canteen.

12 per day is a starvation ration, but they work. Skip a meal and chew on a handful while on the move, it's easy. Lightweight bugout and combat ration that can help reduce you need to make a "number 2 pit stop". I would integrate when with vitamins, energy bars, energy drinks and a cocktail of mild pain relievers and antibiotics.
