Military Camp "Hammelburg" 2022

Post by housil » Mon May 16, 2022 5:26 am

Due to Corona, there weren´t any events since 2019 so we were too happy, this year we were allowed to have that event again with no restrictions. :D

Showing up Wednesday as a vanguard, to claim our Camp site

Our motor pool :D after set up our whole camp with 4 crew tents and 200m² (2.200 sq ft) camo netting

We opened a 1989 Bundeswehr canned bread to give it a try - after 33 years

After opening, a smell of "spirit" came out of the can. This is normal and will vaporizes immediately.

That bread, 500g (18 ounces) and not 170g (6 ounces) as from the EPas, wasn´t sliced.

We cut down some "slices", it looks brighter than that bread we know from the Epas and grains are smaller

But at least, still edible with no loss after 33 years :D

Saturday dinner came from two UGRs T rations

We simmered the (2017s) corned beef hash and a white rice tray on the camping stoves in water for 45min, as supposed.

Everybody was starving...

On the first glance, like a dog food.... :shock:

Served on the tray, it looked less "bad" :mrgreen:
IMG_6983.JPEG
Ops!! Even set on the lowest heat and in water, the bottom of the tray got too hot and started to melt. Lucky us, it didn´t melt the whole tray, just the outside so the food wasn´t spoiled. Phew...

Dessert also came from a tray ration - muffins, and they were great!!

For those, that didn´t trust the trays:

PS: Due to the current "political situation", we couldn´t go into the Bundeswehr training area as active troops where there for training and shooting, as we heard all night :(

Everybody is, it´s a private organized event by the local Historic Military Vehicles Owner club.
