    I really like how you aren't over reacting. like you never spit something out. you just say something like "that's not very good". Not like some other people who would freak and spit it out. I feel like I'm getting an honest reveiw

      You should watch Steve1989MREInfo. He eats military rations that date back to world war one. He even ate beef from I believe 1899. And he said it tasted good

    You are correct about the instant beef soup, something like that is absolutely wonderful after you've been cold for several days. Once when I was in the US Army I was doing some "war game" type training in the field at Ft. Polk, Louisiana. It was winter and we had been rained on literally non-stop for six days. A humvee pulled up to our patrol base with some containers of hot instant chicken noodle soup, and to this day I still say that it was the best meal I've ever had.

    Having eaten these in the field, best thing to do is: combine 1x chocolate drink, 1x peanuts and raisins, 1x fruit grains inside 1x muesli. Add water. Makes a quick breakfast straight after stand to and one that has almost half your day's caloric needs in one go. (All should be mixed in the same bag as the muesli and eaten from there).
    Save the scratchy pad for rifle cleaning.
    Potato and chicken boil-in-a-bag is fucking vile.
    Morale Booster: Boil anything other than the chicken and potato boil-in-a-bag in 1 cups canteen 1x Boil in a bag, chuck the noodles in there, once noodles are done, chuck the soup in there with the noodles. Minimal water used. Pour into the frying pan you should be carrying with you because fuck mess tins, add the curry or vege tagine (if someone knows what the fuck that is, please tell me, we're not sure if its even real food) to the noodles. This takes longer to prepare and eat but is good for morale in the field if you are in an entrenched position for a long time.
    Super brew: All the coffee, all the chocolate drinks, some sugar to taste, all in your cups canteen, melting some chocolate in it too if you're inclined or maybe adding the condensed milk. Guzzle that shit in place of breakfast if need be if you need that caffeine or both if your platoon commander is fucking around or you're still waiting for a tasking.
    Medical: When you have the shits, eat the condensed milk straight, plugs you right up 'til the next time you can see the upper tier of medics.
    Most of us also toss the accessory pack's nebulous shit before we head out into the field. A lot of us have our own coffees. I for instance have a lifeventure thermos that I chuck a sachet of nescafe cappuccino into, recycling any leftover clear water into that and shaking up inside the thermos to not have to clean another item with your finite supply of baby wipes.
    Also, the cheese is also known as BBC (Bring Back Cheese, for a while they were in tubes, and would explode, so after protest the tin was brought back), if you eat enough of them, you apparently have funky dreams. One guy I heard of woke up 5m outside the harbour away from his hootchie after eating 8 of them the night before.
    Also if you have assorted cuts on your hands (if you're a gunner, you better have them otherwise you're not working hard enough, and a lot of us have them on our knuckles) the moist towelletes burn with the fury of a thousand suns, use your own baby wipes.
    The ratpack's bag itself should be saved too, because you can make makeshift chest seals with them along with an infantryman's unusually large supply of insulation tape, or as your nebulous rubbish bag.

    • @foxhound8328
      @foxhound8328 Před 9 lety +23

      NuclearDude Agree with you 100%. I usually put the orange sports drink in with the chocolate drink before a long pack march, kinda tastes like Jaffa - well that's what I tell myself anyway. Props to Emmy for eating the muesli with nothing more than cold water, that's freakin disgusting. With a bit of imagination, some time and someone elses gas bottle, we can turn the ORP into a feast fit for a king. Except for that vege tangine, not even vegetarians or any member of the human race eats that.

    • @Nucl3arDude
      @Nucl3arDude Před 9 lety +12

    • @UppercutLawnsQueenstown
      @UppercutLawnsQueenstown Před 9 lety +5

      foxhound83 first time i had menue d was after a few wet days no hot food, we got re sup with them and i thought the tangine was the best thing ive ever had, i even traded chilli and rice for another one, next day i realized my mistake, if your not starving th tangine is aids.

  • @TheFruityKiwi
    @TheFruityKiwi Před 9 lety +140

    Hmmm, I have a feeling the Onion flakes were supposed to go with the beef soup perhaps.. And the fruit bits can go in the muesli to make it sweeter!

    • @emmie9435
      @emmie9435 Před 9 lety +25

      Or with the sweetened condensed milk :)

    • @225kristent
      @225kristent Před 9 lety +6

      Matt Torres the noodles came with a chicken flavor packet so I don't think it should be added to the soup, but I guess it could be if you leave the chicken flavor out

    • @bedzy
      @bedzy Před 7 lety +2

      TheFruityKiwi the fruit bites are just for a small sugar hit or as you said to put it with the muesli, but each to their own😂

    • @vtecpreludevtec

      Vegimite or Marmite,in N.z. we love both,Aus vegimite only.

      Dam,no marmite cheese combo.

    • @thechosenone9404
      @thechosenone9404 Před 7 lety +3

      What's marmite

    • @kster809
      @kster809 Před 7 lety +21

      Marmite is a sort of spread made from yeast extract. It's got a very strong salty/umami flavour, so people who actually put it on bread tend to spread it thinly as it can be overpowering if you use too much. People tend to either love Marmite or hate it!
      Edit: Emmy kind of said it already, but I'd say the best way to describe the flavour is like soy sauce except highly concentrated!

    • @KirstenBii
      @KirstenBii Před 7 lety +10

      dude just putting a thin layer is gross I smother butter all over the today and very carefully apply a thin sheet if marmite then do it again on either slice. Boom it goes thwap into my belly

    You are such a doll Emmy. You are so considerate of what our service men and women around the world go through when you try their food. It would be so easy for someone to focus on the negatives about the various MREs you've tried - but you focus on the good.
    I remember my Dad bringing those home from deployments and weekend training and thinking they were just awful. It was only when I got older that I realized that those men and women are thankful for anything that reminds them of home.
    Stay Sweet - We just love you!

    My foster cat Loki (he's a stray who wandered into my house last year) loves your videos, Emmy. Whenever I'm watching them, he jumps up onto my lap and I have to angle my screen so he can see properly. He keeps reaching out to try and pat your face (unfortunately this pauses the video) so I suppose he's a fan (my other two cats are indifferent). Don't know what your magic is, but keep on posting your videos - Loki can't get enough of you. ;)

I think it's pretty neat that you all are colabing together! My daughter just started watching the MRE review videos with me, and guess what she asked for as one of her presents for her 10th birthday?! Lol! A couple MREs to try out. She is her mother's daughter, after all. ;) Keep up the great work, and keep your videos coming, I'll keep watching!

    There's a flint on the bottom of those Match Tubes. Also when we were augmented with NZDF, they taught us to mix the instant noodles with the entrees, to make a noodle dish. The Yeast Extract is Marmite, something the Kiwis LOVE. Strawberry Jellies were added to our Muesli Oats with the Condensed milk with boiling water to make oatmeal. When we were not on base, we carried Hexamine Tablets with a Hexamine stove and cooked on our Canteen Cups, Cleaning it with the scouring pad. Other than that, I definitely prefer the 24-hour Rat Pack over our MREs any day! Awesome Video!

    Dear Emmy, thanks for the video it was very informative, having been in the NZ army I can tell you that not much has change in rations packs over the years, but I have noted that most people doing this type of video are tending to use the hand wipe after the meal but as you can imagine being in the field it is of the up most important that hand hygiene is maintain, so no gut bug can take hold. Thanks again.:-}

  • @NZsapper1
    @NZsapper1 Před 8 lety +4

    Kiwi rat packs are all about the mixing and matching to personal taste, there is no wrong way to go about it. I mix my Peanuts and raisins in with one of the meat packs for a bit more texture and sweetness. Others just use it as a snack. Depending on how many packs you are given at one time, it is possible to make a cheese cake in the field. Using crushed crackers and biscuits as a base, the sweetened condensed milk, canned cheese and lemon sports drink satchets (or chocolate drink) as the main layer, with jam and strawberry fruit grains on top. It is easy to be creative when you have the time.

    • @wertyleigh
      @wertyleigh Před 7 lety +6

      from NZ. noodles are ment to be drained, or if you like a bit of broth mostly drained before seasoning. personally, that particular brand isn't my favourite type due to the structural integrity of the noodle being pretty shoddy. seasoning packet is okay. Maggi is the brand of this one I reckon. any other kiwis up to confirming?
