    This is a meal I could pounce on. It is OK if I must take it up north to the mountains where we can experience a light frost. Thank you for the trip back in time. Growing up in my Grandparent's home, my grandfather would often tell me about his time in the US Army coast artillery. After a serious stroke, he could still explain point by point how plotters would triangulate on target rafts and often hit with the first round. Sometimes, windows in the living quarters down the hill from the heavy gun emplacements were blown out during practice. Happy memories of time past.

      That's what they were to me. First thing I would do when unpacking my morning meal was look for the snack item and put it in my jacket pocket.
      I also never really cared too much for the bread but always saved it for later and ate it most days. They had me as a Security Forces Augmentee for a few months at the start of the Iraq War over in England helping guard the bombers they were sending over. The British MP's had their K-9's and I would share with one of the dogs when he would come around.

They also used to make the square fruit bars and my dad would bring home 'rejected' ones a few times a year in a huge garbage bag, there would be nothing wrong with them, just not up to the standards they set...they were delicious!

    Hey guys, looks like a really good hot breakfast, on a cold December morning. I noticed, just as you've mentioned in earlier videos, how the US powdered drinks, don't mix as easily as the European drink mixes. I wonder what is different in them? The ingredients in the omelet, looked the same as most of the western omelets that I've seen, at least very similar. Still looked really tasty. Have a great week, looking forward to more. Great story about the triangulation on the radio signals, God bless.

    Always lower the amount of water with freeze dried meals. If it calls for 6oz add 4oz. If that’s not enough add a little more then let it sit a couple more mins. Enjoying your MRE videos, and the stories! I really like Ace’s videos as well. You 2 should do a 7 day survival video together. That would be cool to see I think.

    It's so hard to get over here in the UK as Mountain House doesn't sell here, and shipping it from the US makes it prohibitive financially, unfortunately.

      Criss, the map I pulled out was from Beirut, Lebanon. The example I gave was just that, an example. There was no battle per se.....we took incoming rounds from time to time and had to wait up to 12 hours to get permission to fire back, by which time the mobile missile launchers were miles away.

    I think they call it a "western omelet" because it's like a Denver omelet. A French omelet is just eggs, and isn't fully set.
    But then would a French omelet, or normal freeze dried eggs be called a "middle omelet," because France is between the "East" and the "West?"
