In America he was a frontiersman (an explorer of sorts) famous folk hero for his wilderness exploits!! Living in the wild & off the land etc.

I think it's really good for people in tents who don't have a fridge. Also having a camping stove it's not long before its hot and ready to eat. I think I'd have to try all the sweet stuff first cos I love chocolate 😅. Great video Dan 😀

👍

Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 👏

Hi Dan I thought that was a good selection, I agree maybe not the best taste, but if you were stuck or went out in the woods it would be good. Good on you for giving it a go 💜💜

I don’t envy Mazzy after Dan ate all those beans !!! 😅

Like watching a combination of Graham Kerr and Julia Child with hilarious comments by Mazzy. Extremely entertaining!!!! Bon Appetite !!!

Can't say l know any of them 🙂

Interesting 👍

Great video interesting pack I guess they are made to be high in calories to give you energy for the day in case of an emergency. Looking forward to part 2

Dan it's a British MRE re named. Great video.

The OrifO rations you took on the Wild Camping Scotland trip are from Denmark. I remember you said the hot chocolate from those packs was really good. I learned that it was "Dutch process" chocolate. I see the packets in your mre here have a windmill on them. 👍

This is very very similar to the 24hr ration packs the army gave us when on exercises. Brings back memories of Otterburn, Catterick, Warcop, Thetford and many others!

Brilliantly crafted final shot sequence!

£28 😮 considering you're trying to live on £20 a week 😂😂 we needed a chocolate custard for the chocolate cake 🤤 awesome vlog, ❤🥂🌹

Thanks, will do!

I love your videos 😊

I would have added the chili powder or hot sauce to the beans and I would have put the pudding over the cake. MREs are good to have on hand in case of emergencies like during a disaster or your power goes out for any length of time because they can be eaten as is if you don't have gas or electricity. Many preppers in the US store this type of food. I wouldn't eat it unless I had to. At least you tried it so you know.

Would love it if you’d start doing more of these videos..

I will when l can get them.

I'd be well pleased with that if I was wild camping.

when cooker cools down turn pot holder over for storage

That looks ok if you were doing stealth camping or survival training.Enjoy.All the best to you both.

Top tip you only need to cook them for a few minutes. But tomorrow/today eat them cold straight from the pack. Pretend you're being proper stealthy

Biscuits brown are my absolute favourite. Great with cheese on. And you can break them up and put them in other foods to thicken the food up

Use a bigger mug for the drinks. It 500ml of water you need for them

The packets are that colour for exactly that reason in case you leave any rubbish behind and give away the position you were at.

Amazon.

Any type of rations are manufactured to give calories for a day and to give energy to keep a forces person fit for purpose.

I think as an emergency pack it’s fine if you were stuck up a mountain… it would keep you alive spread over a few days.

If you could carry it.

I used to work for a food manufacturer and we made the pouch meals. £28 for the kit may seem a lot but the cost price to make those 4 pouches with be £12+. They need to be perfectly sealed, which is easier said than done, as the last thing troops in the field need is them bursting open if they dive for cover. Due to the manufacturing there could be as high as 50% reject rate. They are designed to be eaten hot or cold. You use your mess tin to boil then water as you heat them then use the hot water to make a brew. TBH the 2 beans ones were always a little disappointing but the stews, curries, puddings etc were very nice. They can also be eaten direct from the pouch if necessary after heating, just need to be careful you don't burn yourself. The 3800 calories may seem high as well but again consider there intended use. By soldiers in the field who will be burning a lot of energy. There's a NATO KZread channel. They do comparisons where a couple of soldiers from 2 different nations try each others ration packs.

@TrailCamDan1 I appreciate this specific pack may not be put together for the military, but it's all the same items that do go into them.

Dan eating ration x lol, if it was self heating I might have been impressed. I agree with mazzy I think its over valued and poor. Its 300g portions I think a tin is even about 400g. All thats going to do is send your blood sugars through the roof. Poor quality diet for £28 a day. However loved your vlog as always. I can't wait to hear about the curry...hope you got a john smiths with that 😂❤xx

I wish I had some Parkin. None here in the states. It doesn't taste the same with US products and it cost alot for Brit products.

Biscuits brown n Chicken jizz (chicken pate) mmmmm used to get that in Brit RAT packs, sadly not in that one! They're cheap calorie rich easy food, to be fair I make em last a day n a half maybe 2, your only problem with those is that you try carrying 5 of those and all your kit, they weigh a lot! and are bulky, I used to take some MRE and mostly dehydrated food like wayfarers and make sure i have water sources on route..Weirdly i like RAT packs lol....

I have being trying to find J p on u tuber but without success , maybe you could give me the exact name. I guess in an emergency sutuation the food would be well accepted , but for a day out I would take other bits snd a pan and warm things up. Even a tin of beans and sausages would be fine. With some soup and a bread roll. But if no other food I guess it would be enjoyable.
