Great video! Thank you for posting.

I noticed they showed the 42 items and it included the main courses in retort pouches instead of the tins. Anyone know when this happened or is happening?

They started doing it in 2016 contracts already, (BBD 2020).
They had specific menus for them, menu 20-25

Now in 2017 contract EPAs they did that to all standard menus (menu 1-3 i know for a fact havent had other menus yet)

Big disadvantage to me, you need messkit an water to warm these up. This takes a while on an Esbit stove...

You might need to be in desktop. I can’t seem to get it on my phone, but it worked like a charm on my desktop. It does a good job, and I’ve watched some of your Russian/Ukrainian videos that way
All the best, Gents.

where is the auto translate?
You go on the small cog icon, and click on the subtitles.
There you have the option to auto translate, choose english in the drop down menu that shows up.
Sometimes you have to select an subtitle that is already in that list, then the translate option shows up.
