I watched a documentary on British SAS training. Part of it was a field exercise where you were not allowed to be discovered during the entire period or you failed. The soldiers each dumped their rations mixed up together in a bag to save weight and space. They each had to make a spoon in the field ...

Legions of people have made the same mistake. It's a problem, the 4 digit code sucks. Going to the 5 digit format will really help. That yours tasted so good is a testament to how well that case was stored. Sampling and reviewing old rations is far more interesting to me anyways. You scored a case t...

These are actually from 1999, not 2019. Good review though, thanks for sharing!

Knowing that, then watching the video made me LMAO!

I'm actually more curious in how they taste These are components I have never experienced.

They are a special treat for smokers. I'm told that while the bright color ...

Crossing of index fingers and praying to your deity is your only help other than lady luck. The risk is part of the heavy price we pay. If the ration is intercepted and raided, keep in mind that's better than if USDA wants to send you a letter and come visit you. I am starting to think much depends ...

Tootsie Rolls and those caramels with the vanilla center. I got some brown bags with the vanilla caramels not long ago. Caramels looked so good, smelled good, squished good. Very good storage and looked forward to eating them like the rest of the MRE. Nope, weird funky flavor, something went south....
