    The star candy is there because the hard tacks can be a bit hard to swallow, especially after a few. The candy bring out saliva again so you can eat more hard tacks. It's a trick we used when water was scarce.

    I don't remember exactly how we did it in the bootcamp, but the way you use this is you leave the whole thing in the box, just pull out the little pull up loop, so you can pull it off (maybe take out chocolate if there is any included). You pull the loop off whenever you are ready. When you are in the field, you pull it off 10~20 minutes in advance of your meal time, because that's how long you are supposed to leave it. You close the box top, put the box in back in the top of your backpack, continue with your hike for10~20 minutes. Then, you take the box out of your pack, unbox everything and enjoy. This will heat up everything including the entree, the meatballs and whatever else is in the box.

    I wonder how well the FRH works in the event of winter. Would the water have antifreeze in it? As fiddly as the US FRH looks to use and activate, at least there you have the option of melting ice in a pot; or being issued a freeze dried ration. Speaking of freeze dried rations, is there one for the ROK army? I get the feeling that that one would be just as cleverly packaged as this standing ripcord heater.

    MonMalthias Hmm, good point on the FRH water. I would assume there's an additive to prevent freezing, but if I try another one - I'll chuck it in the freezer overnight to test. I understand the South Korean military rations are almost identical (in contents anyway) to the components I reviewed in this video. The chap who sent this one in was previously in the Army.

    Awesome vid, thumbs up all round. We have a big Korean market (and I mean BIG) near by and they sell everything on your tray. They sell everything you would find in supermarket in Korea and a lot of the time cheaper than in Korea. Have you ever had bulgogi? That has got to be my favourite. I'm sure the must have a MRE with it as the main dish. Looking forward to the next review. Stay cool.

    A MRE is only for a single meal, usually, a Combat ration mostly for a whole day. The average person has a 2000kcal intake, a soldier in combat needs between 3000 and 4000kcal (as does sportler). Someone who is sitting the whole day needs often times only 1000 - 1500 kcal per day. The problem with the shown MRE: To reach the needed amount of kcal you would need at least 6 (!) for a soldier in combat. This seems pretty unhandy.
