  • We are taking a look at a Kingdom of Denmark Danish Defence Combat ration. This massive 24 Hour military ration is the Danish equivalent to the MRE, or Meal Ready to Eat, but instead of only being a single meal it supplies a full days worth of food to a soldier. I don't think any review has made me feel this full before. I love taste testing these international rations. All of the food in this one was very high quality and quite good but the mashed potato main was the star of the show for me. It was delicious and an unbelievably huge portion. I can guarantee one thing, the Danish troops don't go hungry.
    Thanks for watching!

    Greetings from Denmark here. The toothbrush is actually meant to be a one time use, disposeable toothbrush. The lack of toothpaste is because its already applied to the brush, just make it wet and brush away. Which also explain why there is one in every package

      Also, we can both agree that getting to feel like a normal human being with a trimmed beard (your knife should always be sharp enough for that) and brushed teeth is a great morale booster. It also gives a sense of normality, of everyday life, thus extending the effective operational time of the soldiers

      Yeah, we used to use them afterwards for cleaning various things. Nice for getting dirt out from the seams in your combat boots or mud from hard-to-get places in the uniform and a nice additional tool for cleaning your weapon. Granted, that was back in 1990 and the issued cleaning kits we got was horrible :D

    Hey! A few comments from a Danish soldier.
    There is already pre-applied dry toothpaste to the bristles of the toothbrush. So just stick it in and get brushing.
    Putting cocoa drink powder in the müsli is awesome.
    The all-grain biscuits are very good at making you not shit. Very nice.
    I always put the spicy sauce in. No matter what. Love that stuff.
    We got some better bread now, nutella instead of peanut butter and beef jerky instead of raw bites. Also got some pretty good wet pouch dinners. :D
    I like our rations a lot. I would not be able to function well on American MRE's.
    I liked your video!

    Thumbs up. You are one of the few reviewers who realises that the snacks are for on-the-go feeding, not for three course meals at a table. Soldiers, at least British soldiers, rarely have time to sit down and 'construct' sandwiches or heat up main meals. It is also why British soldiers have such big spoons - 'racing spoons', as they are known, get the food down quicker :)

      @@demonprinces17 Wrong, Nathan doesn't gain any traction. His views and subscribers are very low. While he has the best MRE's, he has the worst personality. He rushes his reviews and comes across as being negative in his delivery, style and over-all persona. He is also fragile and sensitive in that if you share your opinion he bullies you by responding and or blocking you if he doesn't agree. I've said some nice things to him but my goal has always been to help him build self confidence which I think he needs. Steve is the best, 1000% passionate about the MRE game. Hence, all of his subs and views. Nathan will never ever get there and Nathan knows this. I am sure Nathan himself questions why he hardly gains and subscribers and or views despite having the best MRE content on the internet, which he does. He just comes across very uninspired. All of his MRE's are "rare" and "very special" what he doesn't understand and probably will never understand is that you can't abuse that type of information. All it does is lead to him being considered pretentious. Also, his level of professionalism is non- existent in that if you listen to him carefully, he is very unfiltered. This is a bad thing in growing a channel. He literally used the word "vomit" the other day in a review and it was just so off-putting that I literally rolled my eyes. Too many cringe moments for me and I am sure others. I often find myself wishing Steve had those MRE's and not Nathan. With Nathan, you will come away not wanting anything to do with that particular MRE. With Steve, you end up jumping on the internet trying to find the MRE he just reviewed. That's something Nathan will never ever get or understand. Earlier in the year, I was showing people some of Steve's reviews and the 5 of us really thought they were excellent content, then, one of Nathan's reviews were there, which we also watched. At the end, all of us were vocal about, the WRONG guy was doing the review, that it should have been Steve. And this sums Nathan up in a nutshell, The MRE's he has is great but, those MRE's have the wrong host.

    The only reason I can think of for inclusion pf ANYTHING from Bridgford, in sny nation's ration packs, is that they won/win the lowest bidder competition. It certainly couldn't be based on palatability of the enclosed "food" products. While it MAY meet the various nutritional requirements, it certainly doesn't meet my taste requirements. Frankly, I think their offerings are horrid. Of course, they are also marketed by Walmart. I believe that is explanation enough.

      I've had much worse of both. This was a really solid ration!

      I was trying to explain that this was a unique ration. I'm well aware I was eating a military ration but it is not common to see such a product in military rations around the world.

    Those biscuits are nothing. They’re super healthy, delicious and again, that’s NOTHING. Many Americans only eat white, soft non-bread bread anyway, so the reaction is expected. (No offence). It’s a nice video!
