Honestly as a US resident I can’t possibly pick a favorite component. An Australian ration is an extreme rarity in the states. None the less a treat to anyone that can get their hands on one! Best of luck everyone and cheers to whoever gets this golden goose👍

Excellent review :)

Great video Brit! You have to be careful opening your of MREs usingba knife, i have seen fellow Marines chop up their MRES leaking out their food! Lol. You can use your bullet casing to adjust your windage and pitch and distance of your scope too!

Great review, great ration, thank you! Id like to try the main.

And the winner of the ration pack is @mclovin6039. Congratulations Mclovin and all those who entered. You can check out the draw video on the community page. We'll do more ration pack giveaways in the future, I should be getting more in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

Great review! The asian beef looked good though I do enjoy a jerky bar.

great review!

I was in Army cadets as a kid and always enjoyed most things in the ration packs ...sitting under a hotchie in the bush with my mates , heating up braised steak and onion on the old hexi stove and eating tubes of condensed milk.. some good times. As an adult I go camping often and have always tried to find ADF MRE’s online but to no avail. Nice review mate ..Steve1989MRE would be proud 🇦🇺👍🏼

I had a CR1M a few years ago and the Chocolate bar was FRESH! I was told that was rare LOL and I had Vegemite on toast , yummy!

I'd Try It All....

In the U.K we have Marmite, a yeast extract spread, rich in B vitamins, from what I can tell your Vegemite is the same thing.

Similar but different tastes. I've tried Marmite and it was different to Vegemite, which I grew up with and prefer. For more info on the difference between the two check out www.thespruceeats.com/marmite-vs-vegemite-435160

I thought they got rid of the sweetened condensed milk, so glad I was wrong. Would love to try the asian beef.

To be honest, I like all of it. Although Vegimite is an aquired taste for some people outside of Australia. I happen to like Vegimite, & Marmite as well. It I had to pick just one, I'd have topick the Potato & Cchickpea Currry!❤

The average energy content of an ADF ration pack is 16000 kilojoules or 3824 calories. The contents can easily keep you going for a few days if your energy demand is not that high.

The potato and chickpea curry and the sweetened condensed milk ❤

Interesting that they still include the FRED despite the fact the only item that need it is the cheese. If the cheese were made a ring pull can they could eliminate the FRED.

I checked this out and bega cheese who supplies the cheese does have canned cheese with ring pull, so it's possible that we could see this featured in future ration packs. Do you want me to put you into the draw to win the ration pack?

The ADF ration packs cannot be sold here in Australia but there are civilian options out there that you can get from camping stores which tend to be the dehydrated meal type. The company in New Zealand that makes the ADF ration packs does sell some '24 hour ration packs' which have some but not all the contents of the ADF ration packs - check out their website portionpackfoods.com/products/ration-packs. I will be doing another ration pack giveaway very soon so be sure to enter that when it comes out.

It would seem the makers of this MRE were not much concerned with the appearance of the mains. This can work to the advantage of the Aussie fighting man though. If he or she is on a multinational mission and they are prepping their meals they don't need to worry about some Tommy from GB going round with his huge racing spoon asking for a taste.

@@stanjones2038 the same company in NZ that makes the ADF ration packs does sell a similar ration pack on the civilian market, they are $227 incl tax for 6 pack mixed carton but you have to add freight to that. Check out www.portionpackfoods.com Another option is camping stores do stock ration packs but they dehydrated food type which is more suited to lightweight hiking, expect to pay $50 - $60 each. Finally you could DIY and buy the individual items and make up your own, packing it all into a large clip lock bag.

I find it funny shen people pull out nakins and say toilet paper,. They obviously haven't served, after several days of MRE's, pooping just stops
