The clear plastic bags are used for water and mixing the isotonic drinks and shakes in. In the 80s, our SADF rations were just as loaded but with tins, not pouches. The breakfast cereal we got then was Pronutro (still available in stores over here) and we would pour the sachet into a clear bag, add water and give it a squeeze to mix, and then consume it from the bag. We did the same with the coffee as it wasnt always practical to light a stove. The older rat packs included hardtack biscuits, either a whole wheat or a smooth one. If you had a tin of meatballs, we would spread them on a biscuit, squeeze some squeezy cheese on top and then another biscuit on top to make a cheese burger, LOL. Dried fruit like the peaches is quite traditional and are eaten as a snack. But they can be rehydrated and eaten or added to a curry where they soften up quite a bit. We use a lot of chutney here too, a brand called Mrs Balls. Great with cheese but a must have with curry. Great review. Cheers from SA
It is awesome to hear some of the history and uses on this ration. I would love to try that cheeseburger sounds like a great way to mix and match. Thanks for the information and for watching.
Just to add to Sean, this is a commercial replica of the SANDF ration or RAT Pact we use to call it, not the same as what we had in the military. Nice review regards (Srg Prinsloo SANDF 91 to 2006)
The one they still use one that is Similar to this, just more modern, the one that people think is the sandf mre isn’t the go to mre for the sandf. That one was just used once and that company now uses it as a marketing technique. So you can’t really purchase the ‘real’ current sandf mre, only the one they used temporarily. So the current ones are still sometimes in Tins like that I’ve heard
Never had an Esbit stove in our rat packs back in the 80s. Just scratch a groove in the dirt, light a tab, put it in the groove and set your canteen cup aka "firebucket" over it to boil. Back then the packs had meat in small cans and we used to convert one into a stove for future use. The bags are for mixing drinks. Fill and roll top, shake and bite open a corner to drink from. In SADF slang they were "effies" from FL i.e. french letter / condom.
Great review. I am South African and a lot of what you had in there are very much South African staples. You did pronounce 'samp' correctly and it is used as a substitute for rice. Its very popular and you also get a variant that is mixed with beans. The chutney and tomato sauce was definitely meant for the curry, especially the chutney. Curry is almost always served with chutney here.
I'm currently serving in the South African army. I'm in the infantry. What you got is basically the same as we get except for the water purification bit. Those bags we use to make the isotonic drinks in the field. Most of us don't enjoy the MREs but they're very helpful in the field and keep us going. My personal favourite MRE is the chicken breyani (Indian dish) followed by beef curry. Overall I just like the convenience of the MRE but most of us would rather prepare our own food if we can. All those small snacks like the bars, dried fruit etc are the stuff I love taking with on patrols.
Thank you for an amazing review, I'm glad you liked our ration. Since Serac took over doing the ration for SANDF. A lot changed. Such as the mains use to be tinned food
Wow, that’s a heck of a ration, that is the first time I’ve ever seen this one. All those components really looked great, quite a change from any of the North American rations. Thanks for sharing. Peace
I was wondering why it tasted more fresh and natural but I was told cause they don't have many preservatives so the shelf life is reduced but was very cool to try out. Thanks for watching Murray!
Wow, you weren't kidding. That thing is packed to the gills. I like Chutney. I make it to bake with brie cheese as an appetizer. that side you had with your dinner looked like Hominy to me. I see it a lot in Mexican dishes.
I was very impressed with this ration overall. It was fun to try new items I have not seen before. I believe you are right about the Hominy a few others mentioned as well. Thanks for checking it out.
Good morning sir! Very interesting ration and a very generous gift! It was nice to see all those new components! I love your enthusiasm! It's nice to see I'm not the only one out in the woods by myself talking to animals. That's me, you, Tarzan and Dr. Dolittle!
Pretty cool seeing that many deer at once. This looks like a great MRE. I would definitely try it. Interesting cheese, I have never seen it that way before. Great review...the food looked pretty good.
The chutney would go with the chicken meal you had and the tomato sauce as well. 🙂 We love chutney with chicken and pasta dishes. The chutney also goes extremely well with the curry. Either way it is a staple in South Africa.
@@dubc3615 thanks for sharing it with us! Was a little nostalgia watching it and now craving some of the authentic foods again. Haven't been back to South Africa in years.
The way to eat the cheezi is to soften by kneading or putting it in warm water. Then poke a little hole near one end and you can squeeze it out in a thin string, onto biscuits or straight into your mouth.
Wow, that box was like Dr Who's Tardis! Items just kept coming, never thought you could get so much in such a small box. Really cool ration :) Love the way you say Chutney, and I'm pretty surprised you haven't heard of it before. I guess here in the UK because of the Indian food, chutney is a commonplace item. We pronounce it the same way we say hut so cHUTney :)
I was excited to try the chutney cause I have never seen it around anywhere here. It was fun to try and now I know what it is for and how to say it better lol!
I enjoy Chutney as a condiment when I make make Curried Chicken. I'm with you, I prefer a little more spice to my curries. Over all, it's a good looking ration. Thanks for the review and take care.
It was nice to open a ration and be lost on what the items are. Chutney was interesting to test out wish I would have tried with curry now. Thanks for watching.
Today I had the time to watch your video. Great looking meal. The South Africans solders look like they eat better than our American soldiers. How do you wash all those cooking pans? Have a good day and be safe.
They came in during breakfast and I was like holy moly that is a ton of deer usually only see 2-4. It was a great ration I would recommend for all to try. Thanks for watching.
They made the food better it seems…old days it was called the “rat pack” for a reason…dog biscuits were the best feature!!!u have no stove…u usually carried an empty can then u used ur “Dixie” or mess tin and that’s how u cooked….also ur fuel tablets were lit with the packaging,reducing waste and footprint for the enemy…also the plastic bags are for ur energy drinks and ur porridge
Wow,outstanding, The Deer stoled, the show, Wsa that the Buck that stop ,and turned around, That was a unique Ration, where do you purchase that ration from, it seem to have a short best buy, Very unique, Man DubC if you would of had your Bow on you, Back strap baby. Outstanding Review as always. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you and your family and are Great Country
The best buy was short due to less preserves in food so not for long term storage but great flavors and taste. (Blindfox has a lot of info on these.) Thanks for watching and your support.
Good Evening Sir, Thank you for sharing another excellent review! The stove is likely issued separately. The deer certainly speak to the outback. Blessings 🙏🏼👍🏼
Man that ration did not end!! Definitely worth it, and I would agree that ration was very unique. Basically the only norm was the beverages lol great review!
The beverages were on par with Norwegian and they are hard to beat. I would recommend these rations for all to try out very impressed by them. Thanks for checking it out.
South Africa uses 4 different types, 10 hour pack, 10 hour budget pack, 24 hour pack, and the 24 hour budget pack. This one was temporarily used a while ago as the 24 hour budget pack.
@@dubc3615 but if you’d like you can probably buy the packs but I really don’t know. The name of the company that produces it is africor I think. But my favorite pack of the type that was in the video is definitely the chicken a La King
Dude that is an awesome looking ration. very smooth how cool is that for the deer to stop by and visit that's awesome I've had deer near me out in the woods before but never that close that was freaking cool. Great video definitely stepping up your game you'll be at 10, 000 before no time!
Great review buddy. The dried peaches looks like something that my grandmother used to always have. I read BlindFox's comments on this and she has some good ideas. Excellent job 👍
Awesome video Dub! Love the wildlife - that ration looked A MAIZE ING lol. We have never tried Maize. Looked interesting. That strawberry OMG- I think I would eat the whole thing. Everything in here looked so cool. I am packaging person, love the fonts used. Very neat. Great review!
I heard how excited you were when you received this ration.😁This box looks so good.😋.That sauce package was Chutney, a Indian condiment. I've never had it...how was it? Great review Dub. 🐧✌💜
Dub can you just send me a still picture of the deers so beautiful great into to this meal which was fabulous this would definitely be a go to for me and we can never forget our coffee glad it came out fine as with the porridge great mega bite definitely some great components for this mre thanks for sharing my friend and stay safe 👍🏼😷
This is south africa, no stove, it's a fire starter. Super c sweets are vitamin c glucose sweets. Samp is like a starchy corn. Chutney is a peachy tart sauce used for food to enhance flavour. The porridge is white star brand most likely. We don't usually use water purification tablets as our water is safe to drink. But that's for when the men drink from the rivers etc. If you would like some help with names/ brands feel free to ask.
Depending on their supply system I can see one of those ration packs being enough for two days of light duty. The South Africans put out a very interesting ration, you can tell they try to meet the tastes of both the European SA and native troops.
South Africa wins the best mre food not junkies I believe that what is needed energy ⚡ giving food not fast digest that will keep you going that's the trick
I really enjoy the South African energy bars, drinks,, and the fruit.. 😋The curry..ahh my favorites 💓 I am interested what @Blindfox thinks of the review and how many different modules they're are in the S.A ??
Howdy, Amigo! I see good food. I follow, BlindFox, but have never lucked , into one of these. Their, staple foods, are, different, at times. Some, I am not familiar with. Some are common. They, at one time, put, real milk, in the rations. This , did not hold up. Watch, BlindFox, for, explanation, on Samp. She had to explain, to me, new item. Lovely scenery, and friends, Dub. Some items, I am not familliar with. We learn, as we experiment. I see, all good components, and, meals friend. All looked excellent! Nicely done. Great ration and review. Peace from, Ky. John.
Opening new rations like this takes me back to the feeling of the first rations the excitement of exploring and finding new things and trying them out. It truly was a great experience! Thanks for watching John!
You know we look at MRE and start thinking of them as hiking food. They really aren’t .. if you were going on a four day jaunt would you carry four of these. The military may carry one 24 hour ration but they depend on resupply and kitchens also. I like mre meals but they are not practical for several day hikes . You can do better putting together your own meals from retail stores. Maybe an entree or two to break up the food monotony.
I agree with you on a longer hike food would have to be changed up for many reasons like weight and pack size. I am just learning about hiking and MREs/rations and on shorter 1 day hikes I combine them and enjoy both hobbies. Thanks for watching.
@@dubc3615 Not any of the SA ones. They literally filled the things with the cheapest of every off-the-shelf item they could find. For example, that porridge you ate was Morvite instead of Pronutro, Frisco coffee instead of Nescafe etc.
@@Waldemarvonanhalt Copy thank you for the insight on brands I had no idea. I always hope they put the best brands in for combat food but not always the case.
@@dubc3615 The one they still use one that is Similar to this, just more modern, the one that people think is the sandf mre isn’t the go to mre for the sandf.

Nice meal pack you had, it looked very tasty and balanced. Me want one😃
Thanks for watching!
We sometimes add hot water to the peaches just to reconstitute it a bit and make it easier to chew
That makes sense they were pretty tough just as is. Thank you for info.

Hi bud! Miss your videos. Take care
That looks like an awesome day ☺️. It is a good thing you had a stove to use, I'm not sure cold Curry would satisfy an American palette.
The stove tabs worked great to warm up all meals. It was a great hike with an awesome ration. Thanks for watching.
Cool
Now your talkin! All those ‘snack packs’ and now a proper MRE for a hungry grunt.👍

For sure seeing new components and being lost in the moment was like my first rations all over again. Thanks for watching.
Oh, and you would eat the samp with the curry. The curry goes on top of the samp (what we call crumbled pap). Tastes really good!
That sounds like a great combo!
@@dubc3615 it really is! Then the added chutney on top of that. Delicious!
in the left sauce packet it is a chuntney witch you add to your beef curry

It was so good thanks for hooking me up with this one it was like starting my hobby all over again.
@@dubc3615 I’m happy you enjoyed it I know I’m going to enjoy what you sent me thank you again
Yup
Thanks for watching.
Ah man, yeah, that's some good luck filming when the deer came by. Very cool
It was nice to just be chilling and nature and have some deer stroll by! Thanks for watching Smitty.
Nice intro 😍😍 the rest ofcouse too👍👍
Thanks for checking it out!
The chutney is eaten with the curry
That would be interesting to me. Lots of options to mix and match in this ration.
That sounds really good.
You prolly could've even put the peaches on the PB and cookie!
Oooo ok I c you with that megabite🤣
I got to get that MEGABITE! It was fun to mix and match. Thanks for checking it out.
@@dubc3615 np brotha I love your vids I can watch them all day 😂
Outstanding review again 👍
Thanks for checking it out!
Cheese spread and no crackers? Crackers are a must in a MCI!
Agreed crackers would be a nice add. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the shout out
Hey no problem thanks for all the info on this ration.
Great review! 😊
Thanks for watching!
Maybe the stove was in day one. That was a lot of stuff. Great shot of the deer
I guess they did not come with stove but it did come with a lot of good food. Thanks for checking it out.
You can take the peaches add water cook and eat it with the curry.
That would be great I want to try that for the next one.
When are you coming back? We miss you 🥺
Working on getting things all set to come back hopefully soon!
Squeeze cheese!!!....I miss being able to buy this commercially...
It was really good I would prefer it over the American MRE cheese and I like that a lot as well. Thanks for watching.
Good pack, but, no "Biltong" dried South African, cured meat.
Other rations I have tried had Bil tong it was great.
@@dubc3615 It kills jerky, so much better.
Agreed. I can tell you this, no South African grunt would swap biltong out for anything; it's always a winner.
Chutney is pronounced almost like chart+knee
Thank you It was fun to explore this ration and items and learn new things.
They don't come with a stove
Ok thank you for info!
it is because of the cheese that the shelf life is only a year.
Hi BlindFox 😊
@@tracyphillips3325 Hi Tracy
That make sense that cheese was really good.
Awesome ration! Will you be adding to the dubc store soon?
I can see if I can they would be a great addition! Thanks for watching.
sulpha dioxide is a preservative
Copy they seemed very thorough when labeling packages.
@@dubc3615 some folks are highly sensitive to it.
Oh yeah didn't watch but ty so much for amazing video
Hey thanks for stopping by!
Isotonic drink for 25g of powder 250ml water
Those drinks were amazing I was really impressed with both of them.
chootney lmao you got a good pack of sa mre the rest suck apart from number 5
You know we look at MRE and start thinking of them as hiking food.
They really aren’t .. if you were going on a four day jaunt would you carry four of these.
The military may carry one 24 hour ration but they depend on resupply and kitchens also.
I like mre meals but they are not practical for several day hikes . You can do better putting together your own meals from retail stores. Maybe an entree or two to break up the food monotony.
I agree with you on a longer hike food would have to be changed up for many reasons like weight and pack size. I am just learning about hiking and MREs/rations and on shorter 1 day hikes I combine them and enjoy both hobbies. Thanks for watching.
It's "Chutney" not "Chootney".... it's common with Indian cuisine! You need to get out more LOL
Trying new things and learning new things is what is all about.
Next time take a rifle with you and add deer to the menu :D
Lunch could have used some fresh back straps over the fire! Luckily for the deer I had a great ration to keep me busy. Thanks for watching.
@@dubc3615 Thank YOU for making those videos, i enjoy watching survival and prepper´s (and food yumm yumm) stuff. Never stop!
Damp= hominy in US food
Copy thank you for the information and thanks for watching!
Fuel tabs with no stove not good
I felt the same way and I found out they do not come with these meals. Thanks for watching.
So inberust of SA mre it sakes 🤔😪😪😪😪😪
The SANDF is far down the shitter, in all terms, as well as finances. My condolences to your stomach.
Do you have a favorite ration?
@@dubc3615 Not any of the SA ones. They literally filled the things with the cheapest of every off-the-shelf item they could find. For example, that porridge you ate was Morvite instead of Pronutro, Frisco coffee instead of Nescafe etc.
@@Waldemarvonanhalt Copy thank you for the insight on brands I had no idea. I always hope they put the best brands in for combat food but not always the case.
@@dubc3615 The one they still use one that is Similar to this, just more modern, the one that people think is the sandf mre isn’t the go to mre for the sandf. That one was just used once and that company now uses it as a marketing technique. So you can’t really purchase the ‘real’ current sandf mre, only the one they used temporarily.
