First Strike Ration The First Strike Ration, or FSR, is a compact, eat-on-the-move assault ration designed for use during initial periods of highly intense, highly mobile combat operations. The FSR is substantially reduced in weight and size and enhances soldier consumption, nutritional intake, and mobility. The FSR was first announced in 2002 and by 2004, prototypes were available for testing. Finally, by late 2007, the FSR was available and shipping to the field. As designed, all the components of an FSR can be eaten with little or no preparation.

Les Stroud -- Off The Grid I am here in the library and just watched as much as I had time for and skipped over some of it especially when the chopper had to fly in Les' building materials. AND never have seen anyone build in the winter, in the wilderness. From the few times I have helped build a cabin and especially when building on my mtn place I get up there when the snow is melting and then stay until the heavy snows hit in late October and many times stay until Nov. Les said he did not begin building until October! Well, I don't want to criticize his videos for they are interesting and possibly will help some who are able to do something similar. I built my remote mtn retreat with bunker and sheds for around $14,000 including the price of the land. For some who have not seen how some of us build small and "cheap" here is one which also has solar power and gravity fed water from a spring. > Just before going down to the door >
