Those combined with a roll and a half of 100mph tape attacehed firmly to the front end of our 1114 brush guard; we had light. Wouldnt have been such a big deal except it was 0300 in the AM and about -25 degrees and heavy fog..Good times.
On a side note you can also make a killer sandwich by takin the bread, coldcuts/cheese (whatever you take from your local DIFAC downrange) etc puttin it together, wrapping it in tin foil - raise the hood of the humvee and putting the tin foil sandwiches on the engine block for about 3-5 minutes. Works better whenever its cold. |
Paul,
We use to do that to heat up C rations when I was in during the mid fifties.....  I'm sure they also did it in Korea and WW2......
