  • Check out this prototype MRE - Meal Quick Serve. Only produced for testing, this freeze dried ration is designed to feed 6 soldiers.
    It was never put into major production, and was shrunk down to a 1 man single meal, which was the Food Packet Long Range Patrol.
    This is my longest video to date. With the amount of edible/consumable components and it's sheer size - plus providing the info on the ration, a slightly over 41 minute run time was not selling this incredible ration short. Hope you like the video!
    Huge thank you to mremountain.com/ for helping me locate this ration. And my greatest thanks to my patrons at Patreon
    for helping me afford this incredibly rare find. To join in on my Patreon, here is a link:

    cigarettes. They were more popular with older folks like Pall Malls and Parliament cigs.
    Young folks smoked Marlboros and Kools.
    I used to be able to spot what a cigarette a customer wanted just by looking at them.
    A pack of smokes then was .60 cents. Customers swore if a pack went over a dollar they would quit smoking.

    Dude! Freaking UNREAL review. I cannot believe the condition that thing is in. It truly is a wonder. Everything about that ration is unique. Gun cleaning patches?! Love those Dixie cups. To think that whole thing is only 8 lbs. That ration was WAY ahead of it's time. Shame it never went into production. We don't even have anything comparable to that ration right now. One of the all time great reviews that's for sure.
