Menu 2 contains
Image







Meal A
Tourist Terrine 100g (taste is like it's liver pate but it isn't liver it's pork meat)
Beans stewed with Meat in Tomato Sauce 300g (this was great, sausages and bacon)
Honey (idn't try it)
Lemon flavoured instant drink concentrate (not that good but way better with hot water then with cold one)
Rye Crispbread packet (goes great with jam, with the rest not that great, sticks to teeth, almost like eating cardboard)

Meal B
Pork Neck in Sauce w/ Vegetables 300g (big pieces of meat inside, pretty bland taste beside bean flavor thats overwhelming)
2 packs fortified hard tack biscuits/crackers (no comment)
Raspberry flavour instant drink concentrate x2 (much better then lemon flavored drink, also 10x better with hot water)
Freeze dried Fruit mix (not sweet and that wasn't good, tried soaking it in small amount water, it was better but sitll somehow bitter)

Meal C
Tyrolean Luncheon Meat 100g (this was very good and very soft when cutting it)
Rye Crispbread Packet
Strawberry Jam (just awesome, too bad there isn't like 2 or 3 of them inside... strangely some UK shop says its blackcurrant jam, but truskawkowy is stawberry... also I took a wild guess because we say jagoda and when you compare that word to truskawkowy you see there is no resemblance at all but I did guessed right)
Lemon flavoured instant drink concentrate

Additional Items - 2 x Instant Coffee, 10g Sugar, 3 x Vitamin C sweets, 3 x Coffee Sweets, 6 x Chewing Gum, Large 100g bar dark Chocolate, Cranberry cereal bar, Salt & Pepper x 2 each, Plastic rubbish bag, 2 x Plastic ziplock bags, 3 x napkins, Solid fuel stove & Fuel Tablets, Box Matches, 3 x Windproof matches, 3 x sets of disposable cutlery, 4 x disposable cups, toilet paper & 4 x water purification tablets

Instant coffe 1/5 bitter, acidic taste just awful, to me the worst part of the ration
3x Vitamin sweets - tried only one, classic fruit candy we liked to eat when we where children so it was cool to have them in this ration
3x Kofik - great coffee flavored candy, not so sticky as our croatian Kavabon tends to be
10g sugar - only one pack! with that coffee it would be great to have more sugar to kill the acidic bitter taste of it but there is only one pack...
Large 100g bar dark Chocolate - BEST PART OF THE RATION, not bitter, not too sweet, just perfect - as I said in the video I don't know is it cheap or expensive but it tasted awesome... Internet says: Chocoyoco Dark Chocolate Real dark chocolate with at least 50% of cocoa mass. We produce also 60/70% cocoa mass. Deep and distinctive taste of dark chocolate.
Cranberry cereal bar apricot - this was also great, wasn't dry and crumbly just perfect
Rubbish bag - one comes with stove another one with food ration, must say it was nice to have one and in the field this would come handy
2x ziplock bags - also great addition to ration, I used it to place other two meals inside of it... having it in the field would be great you eat brekfast and don't need bag for it but you have this ziplock bags for your lunch and dinner items there is no searching or lost items later
cutlery - it wasn't same and I didnt payed much attention at first so I end up eating third meal with small coffee spoon... only one big spoon and one knife in this 3x cutlery sets
4x disposable cups - also nice thing to have + it serves like holder for accessory pack... 1 of them is for coffee I guess that leaves you with 1 cup for each meal you have
stove - didnt used it but its awesome 12x fuel tabls, normal matches, windproof matches, trash bag, foldable stove and 4x aquatabs water purification tablets
water purificaton bag - yes, they give you also this

For conclusion this was ration I just wanted to get and try (never had german, french, italian, spanish, uk, danish, dutch... you get it, I never tried one, but I wanted SRG over them). Had high hopes, some things exceeded that some things didn't (coffee, 10g of sugar, weird freeze dried fruits) but most of the ration is A1. I can say to everyone this is a ration I would like to have me on longer hikes or outdoor worktime. You don't need anything just your ruksack and this bag, you get everything: a water bag for purification 1L water, 4x aquatabs = 4 liters of clean water, 4 cups that will be enough for a day, portable stove with 12 fuel tabs and means to ingnite them, 2 big cans of almost domestic food, one pate, one meatluncheon, you get plastic lids for all your cans so you can use some of them in other meals, enough crispbread and panzer crackers, big Lindt type awesome chocolate, 3x candy and 3x Kofik's, 3x chewing dental gum each pack contains 2, instant tea 5x, cereal bar was also awesome, plastic ziplock bags x2, trash bag, cutlery... you have it all, you just need hands and teeth beside SRG2 and a rucksak to carry your ration.

Got it from Delicious so if you want to try it don't wait just do it. I hope you liked my explanations and videos, and like Gundog often says at the end: cheers...

A very comprehensive review, I saw also the videos.
It look like the single meal "karkówka z warzywami" is little different from the 24H ration - it contains also sauerkraut and is not so much sauce (I had it in the review of S-R-4).
Have access to: Polish, French, UK, US, sometimes other.
Interested in:New Zealand, Jordan, Israel, any South America

Thanks everyone. If you get this ration be sure to put coffee aside and use it as a gift to people you don't like :)

Yes mate, I bet the elastic cuffs and 2-tone colours gave it away, it's Gorka-4 (anorak, chest pocket) version manufactured by Bars. I call it Fjallraven for the poor people since Gorka set jacket and pants cost like 50% of price of one Fjall pants :lol:

That and the heavy-duty canvas material. I've heard they are great for wearing the in the mountains or anywhere else you want a durable uniform. Very cool! :)
