UK 1 Day 10 man ration box

[MrLimborace]

Cultural differences aside, some of that stuff is nasty but I get the idea of ofering some degree of variety to a 10-man unit and it a generous amount of food for one day.

[762BattleRifle]

Nice G-Shock 

[FlankerTanker]

@762BattleRifle - I like them so muich I have two of them Black and CAMO

[762BattleRifle]

Remember some of this lol

[saberone000]

wow this is great wish i had one

[xXJoshuaDXx]

if your really hungry eat the egg but dang you get my respect if you like it.

[judopathoftruth]

how long does this food keep for

[undeadsinner13]

@judopathoftruth rations are meant to be kept for years in most cases.

I've heard that some can last 10-30 years in case of national war or isolation.

most rations seem to be good for on average about 15 years.

I'm gonna stock up on them in case the shite hits the fan and stores run dry.

[groh1234]

Where would i get one of those ?

[gunnuttcx4storm]

better hope you close to a lake with all the water you gonna need

[astrialkil]

Does this come with instructions? A cook book? How many solder recipes have you heard of?

[FlankerTanker]

@astrialkil no cookbook - but training is given on how to prepare meals

[astrialkil]

@FlankerTanker So if we buy one of these we have to guess on how to cook it? do you know of any internet resources for these?

[FlankerTanker]

@astrialkil - I found this one on eBay - did not find any info on it via internet - but I did not look very hard.

[astrialkil]

@FlankerTanker ok thanks

[aeris091]

@astrialkil they have instructions on the packaging for the american ones

[Thebushcraftguy]

@husbandshunter13 MRES SUCK

[brtshstel]

I'd hate to be the FNG who has to lug that big bastard around on patrol :-D

[FlankerTanker]

@brtshstel I'm sure this is "delivered" to the patrol base once established- they have the 24 hour Ration to carry aroound with them...

[raabgunner]

Awesome they are.

[HawkeyeDrifter]

I'm assuming that big bag of jelly is for the homemade bread you mentioned?

[FlankerTanker]

@HawkeyeDrifter - I would have thought that was the case - but if you take some of the rice and add milk and cook you can make rice pudding - that is very nice with jam mixed in -

[supersmashbrosevil]

all that for only 1 day, that soldiers eat really good

[FlankerTanker]

@supersmashbrosevil 1 day for 10 men - or 10 days for 1 Man

[101reviews]

how much does something like that cost?

im thinking about an epic camping trip :)

[FlankerTanker]

@101reviews Well if you can find them - I have seen them go on a popular bid site between 70 - 100 British Pounds - inIncluding shipping within the UK.(not cheap)

[lonewolfgamesent]

@FlankerTanker what do you plan on doing with itr? I mean you specifically? Just to add to a collection or to take to an airsoft skirmish?

[RockingMadDog]

whatever happened to the "not for civvies" Yorkie bars.

[FlankerTanker]

@RockingMadDog good point - The new ration packs (experimental) have done away with them - but I do have an older type 24 hour ration pack that has the two Yorkie bars in it - I will review both theOLDer and NEWer British 24 Hour ration packs soon..

[kungfusnwbrdr]

This looks rather complicated compared the the U.S. MRE unit group rations...still good for your WTSHTF kit, though!

[FlankerTanker]

@kungfusnwbrdr - agree - I also have a box of the same size that has 10 x 1 man - 24 hour packs - these are close to the MRE type of meal - with little to no preperation apart from heating - this 10 man ration box - relies on someone having basic cooking skills - to make the bread and use the contents to make meals...I will do a video of the 24 hour ration pack soon...

[gunfuego]

@FlankerTanker I never understood why basic cooking isn't required education in schools or the military .

[FlankerTanker]

@gunfuego - back in the day - when I was at school 1960's - they tought "domestic science" - Cooking........both boys and girls took the lessons...no choice.....

[gunfuego]

@FlankerTanker wish they still did, It seems like not one of my friends, their girlfriends, or their families know how to use a stove or oven let alone cook. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just tired of ignorance and some time willful ignorance towards basic life skills.... and on that note, HOLY CRAP! that's a ton of food, I might just get five in case of emergency.

[astrialkil]

@kungfusnwbrdr Actually this looks like a good start to make your own 10 people one day or one person 10 day off the shelf emergency "care" box for hurricanes etc...just add a propane tank w/ 2 burner grill, and drip water purifier. but you would need to add a book on how to use the stuff.

[HUArmyLife]

were you in the military or are in the military

[FlankerTanker]

@HUArmyLife -was a long time ago bakc in the 80's - also me father and grandfather were both in the Military

[MeZmerr]

That looks like perfect student food.

[MrAirsoftnoob]

wow lota food........not as much as ma dinner tho lol

[dragonman911]

I'm Not entirely sure why I watched this :L But I can tell you I didn't stop watching it :L good Video FT Would like to see more, :)

[TimmehxD]

Still love the reviews you make, even though they aren't airsoft reviews anymore :). Keep them coming! Regards from Holland.

[FlankerTanker]

@TimmehxD - I will be doing some more Airsoft - and also Co2 Pistols - a little to much power for Airsoft here in the UK.. so I have a shotgun or two lined up and a few CO2 pistols - I hope that will be more of what you would like to see.

[BHDmalarkey]

looks good would be usefell for a exhibition hike :D

[FlankerTanker]

@BHDmalarkey HIKE !!! - this weighs a TON.......... give me and MRE any day if I have to carry it about - these things are dropped off bylorry, Landrover or C130's ;-)

[BHDmalarkey]

@FlankerTanker i keep myself quite fit but i wouldnt carry it all i would distribute it amougst the group :) Awsome vids tho keep them up :D

[geunsjl]

I don't get it, the UK does not use the metric system? Or am I wrong?

[FlankerTanker]

@geunsjl Yes we don and NO we don't ......... People of my age are OLD school so we stick to Lbs, Pints, feet and inches - but the new generation are Kilos, litres, Meters and Centemeters...much of the UK Military kit and indeed some of the civilian stuff have both
