Hey, Readiness Rations! Little tip. It has been my experience that when preparing powdered/crystallized drink mixes. Rather you want to consume hot or cold, ALWAYS use a little hot water to disolve the mix, if you have access to hot water. Then add your cold water. This works especially well with older, clumped or slightly expired mixes. It even works if youre in the mood for chocolate milk instead of hot cocoa.

it's impressive the vegemite on the MRE! it's very aussie stuff! makes AUS proud! keep the good work!

I'm so glad you discovered the cheese, bread and black gold combination 👍💯

If you ever get a ramen pack like that again, put those sauce packs in with the water. They will loosen up right away!

awesome, pls keep doing ration reviews from different countries.

Awesome video RR

Two things, the Yeast Extract can be used to make a beefy tasting soup and goes well with the noodles. For maximum flavor with the coffee, put some of the chocolate into the cup, melted if you can swing it with some of the sweetened condensed milk. Trust me, Steve1989 has done it a few times, and I picked it up. I use Bordens squeezey tube and U-Bet Chocolate Syrup with some instant coffee, and its awesome.

I actually stopped watching the video to make a cup of coffee.

I've seen so many MRE reviews and you are the first one to use the sweetened condensed milk as intended. I have seen *nobody* put it in the coffee or tea, but that's actually what it is supposed to be used for. That and added to oatmeal or museli. The reviews I have seen have had the person put the sweetened condensed milk on crackers or cookies, which of course is good too, but not what it is intended for. I think sweetened condensed milk is delicious and I love to put it in coffee or tea and lightens and sweetens it better than sugar or creamer. It has so many uses though and is such a versatile component, I think sweetened condensed milk should be included in every ration on the planet, just like salt and sugar.

Ive never seen anyone get their hands on the 5 man ration packs that were issued to armour crews. They have dehydrated meals in them too

Add another pepper, another coffee and change potato's for rice and 1 tea for hot chocolate and that would be perfect.

Nice reviews :)

I've watched Steve1989 do an Australian CR1M before and he also did a New Zealand ration that was similar to it.

Looks great.

Try a thin smear of the yeast extract and the cheese on bread.

If you're "out and about", you put the fruit bar, muesli bar, condensed milk, vegemite, coffee, jam, sweet bikkies, isotonic drink, and milkshake in your pockets for easy snacks. You just suck it out of the tube. Vegemite is salty, it's an isotonic replacement. Suck on the jam and condensed milk for sugar. Pour the dry coffee in your mouth, a suck of condensed milk, and a chug of water from your canteen. Swish it around, that's a latte.

I have always wanted to try the Australian ration. This looks very good. I have seen, to date, 7 videos reviewing an Australian ration (whether 24-hour or individual meal) and I have yet to see one that has the crackers intact. They seem to be the first casualty right off the bat. I think they just crush the package before packing it in the bag.

Nice review that yeast extract when I tried it was brutal 😂😂😂😂

you need to try promite its my favorite of all the yeast extracts a thinner and sweater vegemite

Never heard of it but I'll keep an eye out now!

The ration really needs butter or margarine to go with the Vegemite. You did however stumble onto an Australian delicacy. Cheddarmite. Vegemite and cheese. It's so much a thing that places sell bread scrolls with vegemite and cheese. It's better with tasty/matured cheddar cheese however.

This is an mre I would love to munch

I'm pretty sure the chocolate white bits was copha. The white powdery look of the chocolate is due to copha and low liquid content so it doesn't melt in the kit and rehydrate in your mouth. We invented the ration pack so we've had. A lot of practice getting them right. Love me Aussie rat packs

Nah thats the chocolate blooming where the fat seppates from it over time. If you open a fresh ration they dont look like that

@@KipKil1igan they always looked like that in my issued rat packs and they were fresh.

Well now I have the taste for butter chicken.

You sure you didn’t have a coffee or 5 before filming this?

As ex Bucket the napkins are not napkins that's your date roll{toilet paper}

The amount of packaging/waste in this ration warrants another look at. Such great food. Thanks for the video!

I would say Australian ration is the best in the world

All looked good but , No to the veg a mite !!

You don't eat muesli dry and its far better to hydrate in the pouch, it comes in Brit rat packs too, its good stuff.

Sorry,you were beaten to the punch!

Watch Steve 1989 if you want to actually learn about mre,s

This MRE is sponsored by McDonald's. The junk in there is hilarious...

Third!

Use the cheese with the cream crackers, vegemite (thin, with or without cheese) or jam with bread!

Woohoo! First view

Your taste buds must be broken is you think yeast extract is umami. Umami literally means "essence of deliciousness". There is nothing delicious about yeast extract.
