Even if they got no MRES me ancient can catch some lobsters all he needs are his 2 hands

So just a tip, when I had this one in the field I would split the muffin top in half and pour the syrup on each side and place the patty in between the half's and eat it like a McD's breakfast sandwich. Also the cardboard sleeve is used to stand the heater bag up. Fold one end closed, squeeze to open, insert heater bag and contents, set down on the folded end to heat up. Also the "main" bag is used as a trash bag for all of the internal components.

They fiddled around with the contents of the sausage patty MRE. One of the best components is a filled french toast pastry. Also, you sometimes get the hash browns added in and if you cut up the pattie and mix it in with the hash browns, you got some good eatin's.

I think they doubled down on protein with the peanuts and peanut butter due in fact that it had a grape electrolyte beverage instead of the chocolate protein powder beverage to sorta equal out the packs nutrient table. Looked delicious ill have to keep an eye out for that mre. For the story , it is always a great past time revisiting those times with you and anyone else who shares their stories. If there was more military presence I think rolling him in a sheet and giving him the old soap trick woulda payed off that debt and taught the lag a lesson. Lol great times all in all looking forward to the next one have a marvelous day

Could you do something about the heavy brathing sound of the man who holds the camera? I mean no offence or bad, i just wanna point out that hes breathing and almost everything he does sounds very high,pretty sure cus hes the one close to the camera,maybe get another microphone? Sometimes the breathing and so high so you focus on hes breathing instead of the him who eats! Again, no offence,ive seen alot of comments who says the same. There is good microphones to buy for things like this! Very good video other then what i pointed out!

Syrup is for the French toast!
