I don't know what the military folk do in the hotter climates, though- I've never dealt with that problem.

The reason for the ammo can and M&Ms has more to do with keeping mice away than portability...
Makes sense. Yeah, kinda nostalgic for me too as my dad always carried them as snacks when we hit the slopes.
