Wow, very interesting, thanks for sharing that Gundog! I didn't even know that the FSRs had been redesigned. I'm almost wondering if this was a very early example of the new ones. The white labels made a couple components almost look like prototypes. Interesting that they made such a major redesign of the packaging. I liked the old ones that looked very much like an MRE (dimension-wise) despite being 24 hours worth of nutrients. Obviously a lot of thought and R&D had to go into the redesign. It's also funny that I've always felt that XMRE's civvie 24HR rations were very different from the genuine ones--and now the genuine ones have a look that's closer to the civvie ones! Quite a few things in here I've never seen/tried before, like the spread/soup (very odd little thing there), the caffeinated pudding (never seen a prepared pudding in a U.S. ration instead of a powdered one you add water to) and I've never seen a fruit beverage powder drink in one of those contoured zip-top pouches--only cocoa and other hot beverages that take less water. Always felt it would be convenient for soldiers to have more beverage mixes in the contoured pouches. Looks like they agree--at least for a FSR!

Great video, & it was nice to hear some final thoughts & the comparison at the end.

Nice review Gundog ! Really interesting. I've seen reviews of older FRS's and it seems to be richer and more tasty than the older ones.

Great review as always Gundog!

just looking at the video.......maybe next time make soup out of the whole cheese potatoe and then add the corn nuts to it to make like a chowder type soup, maybe add some of the jerky.

great review, I really enjoyed this one!

Gundog, remember in a video that you would field strip your mres, when you were in the service long over due appreciations or that sir. Ever thought.about doing a video on that. Most people like me would just push it in a back pack. But for the die hard military people out there. Would be an interesting video for people who are curious. Always thank you sir for your videos. Cheers

Looks like a really good MRE Gundog! :)

This looks like the tastiest ration I've seen so far. I need to find some of these in date so we can take them on the road.

I was one to not be shy and load up the snacks onto the troop transport manifold to heat them up. I'd also use them for barter other things I needed that someone else had as was willing to part ways with it for a warn snack.

Great review as always =)

Big meal! I've never had an FSR I'd like to get a few. Thanks for the great video

The potato spread thing is an interesting option, but doesn't seem to function that well in either roll. I really hope the pizzas (which I would assume is made by Bridgeford) aren't as not good as their sandwiches. Other then these two components I think that the ration seems great, the sugar free beverage powder has definetly caught my attention as I can't stand most overly sweet powder drinks.

Scottish short bread biscuits, what you do you think?

Do they not put coffee in any of they fsr's

Can someone explain how or why the date codes work like this why not just put the date on it,

if they just had to change the outer packaging, at least they left the inner bag as was, though now I'd use the outer for trash(raisin, jerky and corn nuts packs and whatever I started the day with). still not happy with the lack of coffee but I guess a troop could get creative with the shake and pudding maybe.

This is just my opinion, but I think it for the serving of "fruits and vegetables" for a balanced diet. Sugar stuff was and is always an issue in the field. It gives you a burst of energy but when it wears off it can really effect alertness. That being said, when we did our timed speed marches everyone ate like 3 or 4 snickers bars right before we moved out and carried about a dozen sugar packets in a pocket for the boost. It also made drinking lukewarm canteen water more pleasant! Cheers Les
