Strap the Cover
If the strap holding the flip-up cover on the chemical protective cap breaks off,
you could lose the cover and spring a leak. But you can make a stronger strap out of
10 inches of nylon cord, NSN 4020-00-262-2019. Here’s how:
•
Cut off the broken plastic strap.
•
Drill a 1/8-in hole 1⁄4 inch from
the edge of the cover.
•
Run the cord through the hole
and knot it.
•
Tie the other end around the cap
strap.
•
Melt both knots with a match or
lighter. Smash them flat with a flat
tip screwdriver or your knife blade.
That’ll keep them from unraveling.

These chests replace the 200-lb ice chests in the mobile kitchen trailer and the
company-level field feeding kitchen. They’re made of high impact plastic and can
store 175 lbs of ice or ice with limited A rations for several days in temperatures
up to 120°F. All of them feature a hinged lid for filling and dispensing and a
recessed faucet for draining.
