Heat the food packet in the water. (Use British mess tins. They are the right shape) Eat from the packet with that disposable racing spork. Use the water to make your tea. No mess to clean up. Saves water.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, it defeats the point to not eat it in the packaging as in the field you can't be using a million pans for each meal and having to clean everything up

The hot chocolate; Save a bit of it (roughly a spork full) and boil your muesli. After the muesli is done, get the hot chocolate mix and add it to the muesli. Trust me with this.
Adding the cheese to meals Is a pro tip, I like adding it to meals that have beans aswell but for me it's a must with the pasta dishes. Same goes for the peanut butter adding it to the muesli is great.
I am praying for your country. I am Bulgarian parentage. Mine got away in 1948. Russian rule in the country. I was lucky to be born in Australia, but now they do it again. My thoughts are with you all.
I’m in the army CCF at my school and we ate some rations and I had the chickpea one and it was delicious we were in the woods and it was freezing and the boiling food package in my hand was really nice and when I ate it it warmed me up I can only imagine how much it would increase morale in a war
Those dry fruit would of been made with a lyophilization process. Freeze dried, it involves freezing the product then lower pressure, then remove the ice with sublimation so the water is removed without becoming water on the product
I love how many of these MRE reviews complain that the food could be so much better. As a former soldier, they're not made to be cordon bleu, they're designed to shovel in as many calories as possible as quickly as possible, with less fuss as possible. The trade off is that the food isn't exactly restaurant standard. It simply serves a purpose. If we wanted the restaurant experience, we had Pot Noodles from the NAAFI shop.
Brilliant candel if i can help british ration packs are designed to be heated while still sealed in packaging so no cleaning involved just immerse in hot water or a uk ration pack heater . This was you can heat your food while making a brew without wasting any water and just eat it out of the pack
Read the instructions contained within the ORP. They tell you how to prepare the food therein. You wasted a lot of water. The food is designed to be eaten hot or cold. Place the food sachet into your cooking utensil, then top it up with water and place the utensil on your stove. When the water has boiled for a few minutes take the utensil off your stove, remove your sachet from the boiled water, open the sachet, and eat your food. Saves having to clean your cooking utensil and you can have a hot drink! Put hot or cold water into the muselie packet for the same reason.
By watching all of such videos I happen to make a conclusion that "we are waiting for a situation to arise to use such pre packed foods" crazy but cool 🙆

If I remember right, we called the biscuits, biscuit browns. I preferred the fruit biscuits in the red packets, crushed and mixed with melted chocolate yorkie bars, usually on the engine louvres, mixed together in a sealable bag and allowed to cool hard before eating
I had to freeze the video and check the writing on the package as they looked more like some kind of cracker to me, but sure enough they are biscuits brown. The design has changed since the 90's as back then they were a lot smaller and looked more like darker more solid digestives. Just about everyone loved them, but yeah you didn't need a number two anytime soon after eating them.
I forgot about this channel! Man I have missed this channel I hope everything is well since the last time I was here! (Last time I was here I was still in school but im in college now so some time has passed.)
Retry the matches at a 90-degree angle. Only the tip will ignite. And didn't they have some type of stove or flameless heater? Military people wouldn't be carrying your stove or pots.
The rations are designed to be boiled in the original foil pouch and eaten straight out of the pouch with the spork. You don't need to empty everything into a pan!
As an Englishman, i must apologise for the matches not being up to standard. I think you have to strike them directly on the top but that's no excuse in an emergency situation. Great video.
maybe the large spork is a nod to the racing spoon, traditionally you would carry a massive spoon on exercise and ask your mates if you could have a spoonful of their scran, when they said yes you would produce your ridiculously oversized spoon and help yourself to half of the pot with just one spoonful 😂😂
If you cannot identify a fungi accurately then don't eat it. This ration pack is based upon providing explosive fighting energy. No UK ration pack needs supplements from natural foraging. Although, those skills would benefit any military training.!
8:29 Us British have the food we like, and we don't change it much. We like things from all over the world, but its still quite specific. Just telling you for possible future referance ;)
Sarge, it says to add water to the package, my water bottle got shot, what do I do? Just use your powdered water! You bastard Sarge! That pack just folds in to a cup, it says to add water!
The meals are designed to be hydrated in the bag, or the bag reheated in water. Then eat from the bag. Leaving your mess tins clean, as they only heat water.
Likes Biscuit Brown? Are you insane?? The best thing is the Hot Chocolate, although lately its hard to find normal as they seem to have replaced them all with mint or orange ughhh
Biscuit Browns, man, they are an atrocity. Not heating the food in the package is causing me more anxiety than it should be. If you get the powdered cherry isotonic drink or energy drink, its much tastier hot.
Do you like the candle? :)
Let me watch the video first bro 💀

I was thinking the same thing... He should have made a warning or at least identify it on video
I agree
He's just letting nature take its course 😂
the slippery jacks he got in this video are really hard to mistake for anything else though. good beginner mushroom.
Very dangerous indeed!

The hot chocolate;
Save a bit of it (roughly a spork full) and boil your muesli. After the muesli is done, get the hot chocolate mix and add it to the muesli.
Trust me with this.
What ever happened to the oatmeal block ? 😉
It made a great sludge when mixed with the hot chocolate.
I ate them as is. Great pocket scran.

I loved that beginning "where we had placed it 30 seconds earlier."
And the part with the match
When you said "powered coke" .. the drink wasn't the first thing that came to my mind
Mix the muesli 🥣with the powdered cocoa mix☕ to change the cereal to a sweet chocolate flavored cereal.😋
So many people look at me weird when I say this but it’s the best tip ever. So many early mornings in the rain saved with chocolate museli
yummy
Really like how you discover this pack of MRE in the forrest (where you put it 30s ago) 🤣
it was a joke, that shit passed over your head didnt it? 😆
I used to always add half the hot choclate to the porridge and half as a drink. makes breakfast taste better
the matches were covered in wax to stop rain from ruining the strike, just rub the wax off before striking

Should have used the water that you boiled the mushrooms in. That was a good stock for the chili.
For authenticity, you should be using an esbit burner with hexamine or fire dragon.

Very kind review. Horrid food usually comes out of those retort packs, but he said the food wasn't bad.
you can boil all these retort pouches in water and use the water for hot brews afterwards

Biscuits brown are for lunch, Biscuits fruit are the bad boys.

Just discovered, will watch again! Next time, use the water from the mushrooms in the main dish or one of the other things!
