    That would be THE ration to carry on a two-day hike, for sure. Assuming adequate water supplies, of course. BTW, one trick I learned to prevent dry spots in the food is to empty the package into a second container (a ziploc) and add the water to the food pack. Then slowly pour the dried food into the water. Always fully reconstituted that way. Lastly, your editing is perfect.

    • @rcgusto2427
      @rcgusto2427  8 лет назад +3

      Rocky Raab thank you sir! And great pro-tip there. That would certainly prevent the dry spots. The editing is something I am constantly working on improving. I currently use the standard iMovie app on my Mac, but may need to upgrade soon.

    Just a tip for people backpacking - carry a couple of sizes of binder clips with you, They have all kinds of uses, from chipping things to your pack, holding tent door flaps open, to closing your rehydrating food bag. It really helps keep your hot food warm, especially in cold weather.

Hopefully see you all soon with more rations.

    Subbed! You and Steve have turned into my new RUclips crack. Definitely interested in these cool foreign rations. Excepting maybe the main-heavy Russian rations, they seem to have a lot of extra snacks/spreads you don't get in MREs

    • @rcgusto2427
      @rcgusto2427  7 лет назад

      Tomas Rizzitano thank you! I agree--the variety in the foreign rations really leaves me wanting more from the US MREs. But as far as stability, longevity, and nutritional balance, US MREs are excellent.

    Love this review :) I'm also always suprised a lot of people like our simple foods from the Netherlands. It's lovely and caters to my pride being a Dutchie hehe :) Did you actually know that Oxfam actually deemed the Netherlands to be the world's best in food quality in 2014? I suspect because we use a lot of rules and regulations and try to use as much "real" food as possible instead of artificial flavours and colouring.

    Awesome review, you did a great job of being prepared in knowing what you had. Definitely a lot of food and would probably have been spread out throughout the day with three main meals and something like three or four small meals between the mains.
    One thing or two you never used the seasonings which would probably added to the lunch and dinner entrees, personally I love to add pepper to everything.

  • @SIG442
    @SIG442 7 лет назад +6

    I am Dutch myself, I can tell you that you can actually get your hands on Dutch MRE's commercially if you look in the right places. Some army dump stores my for example have them, specially if the owner is ex-military as they can get them even after they are no longer in service. I had a few years a very nice MRE that included canned food, typical Dutch stew was in those mostly which tastes amazing for something that you only had to warm up.
    Sambal is actually a hot paste, not chili sauce at all. There is no real English variant of the name either. It it however spicy.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambal
    "drop" is black liquorice, it's typical Dutch which is usually for kids. Although there are many variants, from the very salty variants to sweet or specific flavors in between. Honey flavor is for example very useful in case you have a bad cough, like for smokers or for people who have problems with their air ways for example. The salty variants is usually very good to get that bit of salt into your body which you don't really see in MRE's that often.
    The brown biscuits are basically similar to bread, they serve as a replacement because bread takes a lot of space obviously (out side of expiration dates). If you ever manage to get those again, I would urge you to eat them correctly. With each bite you need to drink water which would make it have a better impact on your stomach.
    The cacao drink, you could either drink that cold or since it's a winter MRE it may be better to drink it warm. It's a reflection of Dutch culture, in winter we drink that. In summer it's usually a cold variant.

    • @evilactions1749
      @evilactions1749 6 лет назад +1

      Not sure what you decided you needed to correct him on the sambal as if it is only a Dutch thing but it is Asian in origin and fairly common in the US. It's a chili paste but you could also call it a sauce or a condement if you wish. You can get it at most grocery stores.

    • @Dutchcomentatah
      @Dutchcomentatah 6 лет назад +1

      @@evilactions1749 he never said its limited to the Dutch. However the Indonesian culture has had a major impact on the dutch cuisine. There are many types of sambals in asia, the indonesian types are in some countries pretty hard to find, however, you can find asian styled hot sauce everywhere.

    America needs more 24 hour packs filled with tons of goods. The old first strike rations suck compared to other countries 24 hour ones.

      Undisclosed Analogy I agree. Essentially you get MRE mains and MRE components x3. It doesn't blow your hair back in any way despite being functional and reliable.

    question. do you eat all the food in these MREs or do you toss them away?

    • @rcgusto2427
      @rcgusto2427  8 лет назад

      Dren 9999 it depends. This one was so massive that I couldn't possibly eat it all. I filmed this over the course of a full day, ate the mains as my meals for the day, shared he snacks with my kids, and set aside the extras for later use. I usually eat most of the mains in the items I review so food doesn't go to waste.

    • @rcgusto2427
      @rcgusto2427  8 лет назад +1

      Dren 9999 he eats a lot of the stuff he shows, unless it's the really dodgy stuff. We kinda have similar guidelines for eating stuff. The eye/nose test is the most important. That guy truly has a passion for this stuff and is incredibly knowledgeable. Plus he's just a great dude.

  • @karlp8484
    @karlp8484 8 лет назад

    Best ration yet, provided you're not on a diet. I lived in Holland for 6 years and like the way they worked in two Dutch obsessions - liquorice and hot chocolate. Zoute Drop (salty liquorice) is highly addictive, so it's good they just put it into a mentos form.

    Nice gusset... I actually laughed out loud when you put the fizzy vit in your mouth (Thank goodness it wasn't the whole one, well recovered, I suppose USA doesn't have effervescent vitamin tablets?). It seems weird to have muesli AND porrage, maybe it breaks down better into four meals so troops can maintain function/blood sugars and carbs in arctic weather?

    That is one stacked MRE, and this is just for cold-weather? Honestly this kind of MRE could be used in any kind of situation, this one pack could sustain several people in a survival situation. Especially in the winter season during blizzards, this would be THE MRE to have on hand if needed.

      @rcgusto2427  8 лет назад

      Austin Hughes certainly more variety. This is a specialty ration, being a cold weather pack. Still larger than I would have expected. There is not a US 24hr cold ration. 3 MCWs would add up to about 4000Cal
