    Hi folks, this is a "cold climat" ration. It is "reinforced" in hot edible/drinkable products, higher amount of calories and heating stuff. It is not only provided to the french foreign legion but to all units that are fighting in harsh warfare condition, like Alpes Mountains.

    Thanks for the review Nathan
    As usual from the French ....a quality ration
    but I reckon the French Foreign Legion Commando writing on the bag is all that distinguishes it from any other French 24 hour ration

    Great video. Apart from the missing blue cheese and plastic packaging it’s a standard French RCIR. I’ve used the French RCIR in the field and the standard cardboard box perishes quickly when wet: this is a cold weather ration so more likely to get wet from snow or sleet. The fact it’s a cold weather ration also explains why it has the extra energy bars (more calories since you burn more in the cold), soup and hot drink packets and two Esbit stoves. The extra soup and hot drinks allows more hot brews which are pretty much life savers on alpine or extreme cold weather ops.

    Nate I have said it 100 times before but I want to say it again. You have done so much to bring Phil out of his shell I now look forward to him assisting you on these shows. I do really enjoy hearing a layman talk. so many of us had to eat these . Though when I was flying B-52 during Vietnam we would have given our right arm to have food this good, the best we would ever get was canned left over Korean rations.
    Phil keep up the great work you are a wonderful addition to Nate and we here that always watch enjoy hearing from you - even if it is only a few words. Someday you need to give us feed back about how much you have learned from Nate and if you enjoy helping with his pod casts. You could maybe do one on your own where you have to struggle through some odd meal pieces that Nate pulls together. I think it would be fun to show that anyone can make these in case of hard times or a disaster so that they could stay strong. Again guys great job and may you be able to keep it up for many years to come.

    Yes indeed, looks like a good ration for the elite FFL for their troops. One thing I learned in both my Military service times in both the U.S and Estonian militaries, is that a good pair of Scissors is the better tool to open up MRE packaging so as to cleaner cuts and not damaging the plastic packaging for reuse in the field.

    Musili or Oatmeal should always be hot if possible. When you wake up in the morning your metabolism is low so your body temperature is not quite up to snuff. Something hot with some sort of sugar will help you out greatly when first waking up and get the body moving.

    Hey Nathan like your channel a lot. Watch them every chance I get. Heads up on something else I saw maybe you should investigate. At bigclivedotcom,I don't know if you are aware of it but the one I saw was astonishing. It was called a Scottish army ration. Two things surprised me. One was a bottle of Scotch and the other was a nuclear ration heater. It had a tiny rod of plutonium in a glass vial and a control rod. Mind-blowing 🤯. You should check it out and see if this is the real deal.

    WTFO!? There is no connection to the Legion! Except maybe, being a "commando" ration? As early 80s rations were more suited in calories to french regulars who were less active. They were one box for 24 hours, like this is. Pathetic compared to what USA gives for 24 hours. Granted, late 80s MREs were also pathetic compared to now. The french are always cheaping out on the military, as are most europeans. french garrison food was terrible and starvation level. In the field, there were "fresh" rations that had to be prepared and eaten collectively, and also canned collective rations. The NCOs and officers got served first and fed separately, even in the field---the whole "popote" schtick. Even caporals got in line first. No attempt at even distribution. The last guys in line often got screwed. And then you had to clean the mess gear of the caporals, NCOs and officers. One good thing in the Legion; you usually got a beer or wine ration, even in the field, even in the jungle or combat. They even had special gerry cans for wine. In garrison, mess hall wine was hose siphoned from 55 gallon plastic drums in to old Orangina bottles. As the food was served "family style" you had to scramble/fight for it or you got screwed. There were other piecemeal individual field rations. The best field rations ever were AMERICAN LURPS issued in Guyane. And don't get me started on the hygiene in the chow halls.
