Aussie ration thank you so much brother... it was a real honor to check out and privelage to review. Thank you for your generosity and continued support.

Awesome ration mate! So glad you had the honors of reviewing it!!! What a gem of a find!

That's a true unicorn! Very rich ration, like the CR1M. Glad to see your new vid mate !

Such a neat review Mate! I would have been like a kid on Christmas morning if i got something like this. Thanks for sharing!

I would enjoy you checking out a bit of this stuff This is quite a fantastic Ration you got there. Wow. Never even heard of that one. I love Mashed Potatoes, the Australian ones. I wish one could buy those. I just reviewed the Cadet Ration the Australian one and that one had them too. I love those. I wish they sold 'em at the store. I fully agree about the drinks. I always complain when there is only 1 if that. Those are often young guys. If it's not sweet they're not gonna drink as much fluids. And that powder isn't really the expensive part of the menu. Thanks for the great Review. Hope you're well - Stephan

Would be awesome to see a collective review of a 5 man ration kit, different channels collaborating on a kit like this. First individual review for each channel with links to each other, then maby a podcast or something where all 5 comes together with a final verdict.

Wow, that box is a treasure trove. Thanks for showing this off!

Awesome dude! Thanks for this. Large box of morale!

Wow! Very interesting ration. 2 thumbs up.

What an unboxing video. A lot of good food. Looks like plenty for five people. 👍

Luke is a great guy! Good on you buddy!

Super box of goodness. Keep it all for when it’s really needed 👍

Ooooooo interesting. Excellent documentation thanks for the review.

Hey Ol' Mate, What a find! Though I was bit surprised that you weren't keen on Beta. I love it myself. In the land of Velveeta and squirtable "Easy Cheese," I welcome the almost cheddary goodness of Bega. The next tinned cheese that's palatable to me is Tastee Cheese from Jamaica. What's strange is that I can find Bega at one third the price of Tastee, but the Bega has travelled ten times as far. I guess I'm not looking hard enough. All the best.

That was great. Have been looking forward to a review of this ration. And a fairly current one as well. Outstanding.

I was stuck in the bush at Ingleburn south of Sydney in 1988 in one of the wettest, coldest winters in decades and for a week we just had the CR 5M. It was all tins. It was the worst week of my life.

Brother this looks fantastic! Can’t wait for the review! You scored big time! Thanks

Awsome review thats a huge ration evan for five wow

just an update on the whole isotonic drink situation. nutritionists are now saying they are not very healthy, and far better is for a person to derive their salt and minerals from food. It's a slower release and doesn't give you a big sugar hit and crash like a drink will.

Nice review. Thanks

This is insane!!

Good to know our bread and deadmash is good

That is a fine looking ration, they sure do it right

What an awesome ration. Getting hungry just watching this.

Fantastic review

Thank god, I got most of the way through and hadn’t seen any tubes of sweetened condensed milk before we got to the cartons at the bottom. I’d have rioted if I got a rat pack without that tube of liquid gold.

Hello from America love the review that is a awesome rations pack. Also a new subscriber

Quite a few things were in the old 10 men ration packs of my time. (1967-1987) Main difference we had cans and less comfort food.

this would straight up last me two weeks on my own lol

Me looking for one Aussie pack opening that actually knows what he's talking about, isn't it funny that he's Aussie as well

Looks like Australians know how to feed their men in the field.

Thanks for showing it off. I'd say keep it unless you can find 4 other guys to eat it with you. That would show the ration be used as intended.

I know you can relate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bloody Awesome !! Is A Yank, allowed to say that, LOL? Great spread of good looking food friend !! Plastic containers, are awesome, and, Protect the food well! Hell of A bowl or plate as well friend! Container #2 , well thought out items, just like container #1 !! #3, works well for cals., carbs, and, sugar sir! , #4, more of the same ! Plus , rubber bands, condiments, accessories. Awesome Ration Mate. Box on the bottom, all useful and necessary items. Condensed milk, should be in all rations. Matches and watertight container, always useful ! The brand, Sustagen, I am not familiar with. However, concept, applies to brands I do know. Understood sir. Last box, beautiful, soup, drinks, canned items, canned fruit, jams, and, of course, F.R.E.D.s" . Art and Nina, just sent my first one. I will be used, on occasions, which require, spreads or jams. Last review, I was using for spreads, then, tried to eat with it, LOL. Caught myself, slightly before attempting. You know me, Get wrapped up in situation. This, my friend, is an awesome ration, I have never seen, heard of, or, comprehended existence of! Beautiful, well played mate, more ways than one my friend !!

That is what I was thinking too John - the plastic containers protect the components. What a treasure trove of good stuff in there. Hey, have you ever tried that Aussie fruit cake? It's aromatic of spice and absolutely delicious. And don't get me started on the tubes of sweetened condensed milk. I know you can buy cans in the grocery store.. but the tubes are just so handy. That sustagen - ya gotta whip it big time in a glass. Hard to mix but it tastes like chocolate milk.

Treasure chest?! I'll say, bloody right it is! Just compare this to an Israeli Manot Krav...😐
