Tony, thanks for the info on potential chip bag explosion altitude.
Quite confident that we will not approach 14K.

Burt, I bow to your greater wisdom, I'll dispense with the chips and
granola bars. I really don't expect that much nutrition will be
necessary during this event especially in that I am but a passenger.
H20, maybe a banana and I will be good to go, thanks for the advice.

A friend and I had a bag of chips explode (perhaps pop is a better word)
around 8000 feet in a cessna 172 a few years ago. They were in the top of a
bag of groceries in the back seat area.

Fortunately, we had another bag or two, so he was able to take pictures of
them bulging as he held them next to the altimeter.

As amusing as the sound of the bag popping, was the fairly rapid presence
of the smell of potato chips.
