we once got a really cute survival kit, I wish I remembered it!
maybe something like when you're in a cross fire....(fire balls, bbq chips..)
something about tehillim..and maybe had alef bais candies...
on some other thread here someone posted a site of firetruck boxes for 85 cents and I think had army print too.

Bread, chocolate spread, loof (kinda like kosher spam), tuna, and jam. Not to forget canned pineapple. Ugot habayit as well- packaged preservative filled cake.

Thats what israeli soldiers live off of. And most of them get so sick of it that they can't look at it afterwards.
But specifically Luf/loof.

What about those heat and eat meals? Those are really cool. You can get helmets to put things into at oriental trading - http://www.orientaltrading.com.....lmets

For food:
Ammunition bites (peanuts, cashews and pistachios)
Dynamite (cut each red licorice into 4 or 5 equal pieces)
Cannon balls (grapes)

You can get canteens and fill them with juice

I did this theme last year. We gave POWERade bottles and Laffy Taffy ROPES, trail mix, I found crackers that said Pit Stop on them, BON BONs (Bombs), L'chaim mints, can't remember what else I did, but hope this helps!!

hmmmm?

I've seen camouflage bandanas - they're cheaper than army hats - she can put all the food in it and tie it up.

She can probably buy loose jelly beans in camouflage colors - she could buy the greens and browns separately and mix them together in a little clear container.

Foil wrapped chocolates, in green and brown - she could also buy tubs of loose chocolates and buy the special foil wrap in the colors she wants - probably works out cheaper.

She can buy cheap plastic toy grenades - cut them open a little and stuff some nash inside.
