    Wow! As a former Aussie soldier of the Vietnam years I am impressed with both the quantity and quality of these rations. The 24 hr ratpacks we carried were based on tinned concoctions which were not exactly gourmet stuff. Small tins of corned beef or mutton with the texture of meat flavored tow rope and Vienna sausages that squeaked as they were being eaten and hard crackers. Very few "extras" and only packets of "Happy Aid" sent from home made drinking water palatable. We had similar ration chocolate, but dropped into a canteen cup of boiling water turned it into a passable hot chocolate drink. I may see if I can reenlist in order to enjoy such gourmet food. No doubt, I'll be excused basic training, as my skills from 50 years ago should still be current!

      @@Rodney-fs8kx I was a scout/rifleman with 31 RAR Charlie Company. I really enjoyed my time serving and kind of regret leaving. I joined when I was very young and was still indecisive about my future. I was a crack shot (topped my recruit class) and would often go shooting during the week. I owned an SKK (7.62 mm with 30 round banana mags) a semi automatic assault rifle similar to an AK. Of course when the gun laws came in after Port Arthur I had to turn it in. I joined in 1993 and was part of the last recruit class to train with the old SLR. Shortly later they brought the Steyr in and we had to qualify with those. I also trained with the M60 machine gun and the Bren. I think,they bought in the minimi a bit later. Thank you for your service. Hope you’re doing well.

    Never realised how much of the Australian CR1M is sourced from New Zealand. ADF & NZDF work closely together, so perhaps not that much of a surprise. I was looking out for which products were made in the DSTO facility at Scottsdale (Tasmania) which I've had the pleasure of visiting and being shown around. If you're looking for a good Australian doco-series on the sorts of survival foods that can be found in the bush, mixed in with some good history, I can thoroughly recommend "Bush Tucker Man" - hosted by an ex-ADF Major who made survival and survival foods part of his career. Despite no MREs being featured, it's superb viewing.

    From personal experiences (from 1994 to 2011) ration packs had major improvements.
    Still, after a few days they all clog you up.
    Love the way he separated them for breakfast lunch and dinner. Personally didn't really have the time to "enjoy" just get something into your gut as quick as possible lol. Most of the time you would only have time to boil water. Eat the main meals cold and not on a plate straight out of the package. The way he ate the Vegemite was how I and many soldiers would eat it, for the same reasons he mentioned. ADF rations don't come with self heating devices so a small stove and heximine tablets would be issued as well. Hence the reason why many times you either don't have time to heat them up or for tactical reasons you just couldn't so all meals were designed to eat cold. I used to make "bush twisties" with the noodles just crush them in the package sprinkle some flavours on them and crunch them down lol. Atleast ration packs gave me an appreciation of "real food"😜

    • @TheMichaelStott
      @TheMichaelStott 2 года назад +2

      @M G There was fibre. Each ration pack contained enough protein, fibre, carbs etc for a person to sustain themselves for 24 hours. Ration packs and meals were designed for the body to absorb as much as it could, this meant there was a little "clogging" of the system. It takes between 24 and 72 hours for your body to digest and get rid of a meal. You hardly notice if you're eating everyday. Yes, taking a poo can be a risk. But pretty much everything is a risk in an area of operations🙂 also, when you're stressed or your body isn't getting those 3 square meals, it slows down digestion. Thus ration packs need to be filled with all the goodness a body can absorb.

    Seeing you put sweetened condensed milk in tea was so different to me, I've only ever put sugar or regular milk. You honestly make me want to try food rations because you make everything sound like it's the best thing you've ever eaten.

    Yeah Mi Goreng is an Indonesian noodle dish very popular in here in Australia. You add the flavours and oil/sauces AFTER you boil and strain the noodles. It's NOT A BROTH. As for why, well it ruins the taste of the entire dish. The noodles are supposed to be oily with the sweet taste of kepap manis and chilis. I always boil an egg in mine and eat it with that.

      Our local conditions vary from desert to jungle, even snowcaps in winter in the mountains. We have most of the worlds most poisonous creatures, and even the 'cute' stuff like the good old platypus has poison claws which cause excruciating pain for days if pricked by them. Our population is very small compared to most other nations, too, and one of our founding moments as a nation was being slaughtered at Gallopoli during WWI in horrendous conditions with meagre rations and worse morale.
      Its no surprise that we try and give our military the best so they can be the most effective during operations.

      Anzac biscuits were a luxury sent from home. They consist of 1 cup each plain flour and rolled oats, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup coconut, 150g butter, 2 tablespoons golden syrup or treacle and a half teaspoon bicarb soda.
      They were one of the few food items that were able to survive the long voyage to the other side of the world and still provide some comfort in the dismal trench conditions.
