"Rock or Something" is my favorite part of the FRH instructions - you really should of used it though, you literally just pour water up to the line and shake it a bit and leave it for a few minutes - nothing toxic gets in. Chili mac is one of my faves too. Beef stew isn't bad, and there was a chicken teriyaki one if memory serves that wasn't half bad either. The date code on the back of the MRE is Y-DDD (year-day) so 302nd day of 2018. The "A" is a batch designator.
I’m gonna order a few cases of new ones and will try it again. I didn’t want to freak out the neighbors with some weird smoking pouch out in my driveway.
8302 on the outside package is the date code. 8 is the last number of the year it was made, 2018, and the 302 is the 302nd day of the year, so October 29. The chili mac was produced September 16, 2018 according to the 8259 you mentioned.
I ate mre's for 6 months 8 times a day when I was in desert storm. a big difference in the things that are included since the early 90's. but, with the hot sauce and a little bit of doctoring they were edible. lol the 1st version of the mre didn't have really good heaters. so we would improvise and set them in the exhaust pipe of our diesel generator. you knew that it was hot when it would expand and eject out of the exhaust pipe.
Pork with Rice in a Spicy BBQ Sauce was my favorite. We NEVER had Pop-Tarts in our MREs. Brown Sugar Pop-Tarts 🤮 I ate them cold. The heater WREAKS! That's TP. We never got that much. One square, one ply. Save them up. MREs are designed to constipate. What the HELL are you doing!?! You don't eat that off a plate. Facepalm. Maybe we should make a video in June. Let's heat up an MRE at TOTP at the range. You DO NOT want that stinking up your apartment.
These are best bought in the 12pk cases because of extra protection. I have been lucky in buying MREs over the years, but I know there is spoiling that can occur.
@@travisp11 we added Tabasco to give it flavor. If you didn't like tabasco when you enlisted, you might have developed a taste for it after enough MREs. Also, we'd mix stuff together. Grunt fudge, etc.
Chilli Mac is one of the best MRE's
It was darn good!
💯
Best get some extra TP ready! But that is a good one.
Actually I handled it with ease!
That was a fun video to watch. I hope you’ll do a few more of these. Thanks for the review ✌️
I enjoyed this one!

Ok! Thank you!
You are braver than me LoL, great video Travis
Had to take one for the team! Thanks for watching!
I used to get these from a seller on Amazon. I actually need to get a new supply.
MREs were designed to where 1 a day could sustain a soldier in battle
I believe it. Overall it was quite filling!

That’s sounds good!

I’m gonna pick up a case of them this month so I can get some fresher ones.
I was in the Navy we never had a MRE I've heard they are good with Hot sauce
Definitely something I need to add to the next one!
i didnt know that, i thought all branches got them

wow, you never ate one before?
Nope. I’ve had Mountain House meals, survival bars, etc but not an MRE.
👍👍
Hello stranger!
Hello good sir!
I trolled you from the other channel, but seriously, we should do an MRE video at TOTP.
I agree. I’m gonna order more
@@travisp11 I'll grab something at the surplus store and bring them with.
@@Squib1911 that works! I do want a full case for my own preps.
@@travisp11 that's a good idea.
Where do you pick these up? Good review!
