Hi...you might want to check out the channel Dad Budget Adventures. He tries to create decent MRE packages from cheaper items at Walmart, Dollar General, etcetera. A few neat things that he mentioned are the Barocook Rectangular Flameless Cookware System and The Pathfinder School Canteen Cooking Set (at least I think he mentioned this one). I know you mostly deal with military MREs and I love your videos, especially when you pray before eating. I just thought you might like his thoughts on budget homemade MRE packages. And, the Barocook Rectangular Flameless Cookware System is pretty cool. It is basically the same functionality as the heating packages in the MREs but it is a little nicer. Thanks for your videos.

Now that newer MRE menu definitely would meet with my approval as it looked really good. The raspberry beverage powder looked incredible, I’ve never had that. Better than what we got which was either orange powder or lemon powder which we affectionately called screech. We used to have competitions to see who could mix the most powder into a litre of water then drink the thing.

When I was in, the part of our gear that was specifically uniform, we kept since we had to buy it ourselves. The rest of the gear depended upon whether you checked it out from supply and had to return it or not. I think it may have been different at different times. You can go to Army/Navy Surplus stores (or online) and get nearly any gear that you may have had while active duty and buy it for yourself if you didn't get to keep a particular item you want.
