Actually, food poisoning can have up to life long effects on your auto immune system. In no case does it fit the if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger category.
for betamales, maybe. Steve's immune system has now been updated and strengthened to the point he could review raw Beijing sewage with a cool glass of untreated Ganges water to wash it down and be fine.
Steve’s a total chad, dude fucking ate beef from 1899. He’ll be fine.
I always wonder about that. I get that things grow legs and walk off, but I don't understand how they get away with it when these things show up on the open internet in bulk when they're ostensibly government property meant for government business only. Old MREs that are past their prime and not worth keeping in the system are one thing, but some of these aren't even at their first inspection date yet.
Of all the shit for them to worry about, the military version of Lunchables is the last thing for them to get anal over. Plenty of servicemen already take boxes at a time home and the companies that make MRE’s also make civilian equivalents anyways. Outside of special menus and the fact they’re supposed to be able to survive an air drop there’s hardly any difference either way. Plus, if you gotta rotate your current stock out, who are you going to give the stuff you already have to? Anyone with a pulse that shows up to have some.
at one point in the video he characterizes the humanitarian ration as cheap. looks like they cost about 15 bucks on ebay. basically a can of beans, a cup of peanut butter, a cup of applesauce and 8 crackers. NOT very cheap imo.
Ration packs ate expensive on ebay as they are being resold by people who have acquired them though various means, the producers aren't selling direct to the public, they are selling in bulk orders to institutions.

I assume its lack of interest, they aren't too important, and maybe there are people out there who can buy them in bulk from source.
I'm only in a small (British) reserve unit and were have full boxes of 24hr packs that our storeman will just hand out every now and then because we've got a new order in and there isn't room for it all, so it gets rotated out. He says we can help ourselves and anything that's left is only getting binned.

Well, had she not became known, she'd be that cute waitress at the diner asking "What do you want in your coffee, shug?". That's the vibe she always gave me.
I smoke a cig every once in a blue moon, either when someone else is or when I'm in Vegas. Can't go to Vegas and not finish a pack over those few days at least.
I think smoking cogs or cigars is best enjoyed as a small treat once in a very long while. The damage is no more than sitting near a smoky fire for a night, and nobody would bitch at you for calling regularly. It's when you do it all day every day it becomes an issue.
I've never touched a cig and never will, had too many family members drop from lung cancer or similar ailments due to smoking. When I was in Europe, especially rural France and a lot of post-communist nations, I was looked at like a fucking madman because I politely turned down cigarettes.
Nobody smokes more than the Japanese, and they have some of the longest life expectancy on the planet. Pretty much every place I visited had an ashtray on the table and the whole restaurant was hazy
I'd say a balanced diet and regular exercise is probably doing wonders for them. I never saw a fat Jap once while I was there. Most people don't own a car, and they bike/walk to train stations and use trains for their commute.
>One in Four Deaths in Japan Caused by Cancer >This accounts for 27.6% of all deaths that year and equates to one in four people dying of cancer. The death rate for cancer—the number of deaths per 100,000 people—has been rising steadily and in 2020 reached 307.0. For men, the type of cancer with the highest death rate at 88.8 was lung cancer (53,244 deaths), followed by stomach cancer (27,769), and colorectal cancer (27,715). For women, the most common type with a death rate of 38.0 was colorectal cancer (24,069) and then lung cancer (22,337)
Lung cancer, anon
>they have some of the longest life expectancy on the planet
yeah sure
if you live in Okinawa, eat a moderate pescetarian diet and don't have any vices at all
I'd say a balanced diet and regular exercise is probably doing wonders for them. I never saw a fat Jap once while I was there. Most people don't own a car, and they bike/walk to train stations and use trains for their commute.
FYI for those of you who've never lived on public transport, you will spend at least 10 minutes a trip walking, minimum, more if your bus or rail stations are awkwardly placed or your destination isn't prime real estate. Every trip of every day, be it your work commute, shopping, date nights, etc.
Considering 1 in 3 men will get cancer sometime in their lives, and 1 in 2 women will, that doesn't sound statistically abnormal.
I actually didn't mind walking everywhere, it was easier to relax even when I had somewhere to be or a schedule to keep, compared to driving a car for a commute everyday which is a frankly fucking miserable experience everywhere I've been, in the states and abroad.

I should add, I love cars, I love working on em', racing at the track, the mechanics of it all. I love supercharged V8s, turbo'd 4 bangers, weird german 3 cylinder diesels, all of them. The mechanics and development of them are just as interesting to me as firearms history is, for mostly the same reasons.
Did I mind commuting in a car when I lived in the middle of nowhere? No that was easy. But anywhere with traffic, any city I even had to pass NEAR was a nightmare. I very much preferred the trains, walking/biking in Japan. Yes they're crowded as fuck, but they're very clean, timely, and the chances of some crackhead pissing in a corner are slim to none.

I have doubts about that statistic
Anyway, the point is that smoking probably does wear out your lungs faster, not to mention other respiratory diseases which are also above average in Japan. If you truly want the above average lifespan you need to live like Okinawans not Tokyo...ians.

Either way I agree, smoking is definitely bad for you, but a cigarette a month or even a week will definitely not kill you like some people think. Also, cigarettes in Asia and Europe aren't legally mandated to taste like burnt asshole like they are in the states. Japanese blueberry crush cigs are my absolute favorite thing I've smoked, it's MILES above what we get in the US

I hate anti-smokers so much and I don't even smoke anymore.
Age is by far the best predicting factor for cancer anon. Japan has a shit ton of old people, of course cancer rates are higher than in countries with younger populations.
>Nobody smokes more than the Japanese
I'm pretty sure that either Chinese or Indians are global leaders in term of smoking. For example, in China, doctors smoke like 5 times more than in western countries.
Ivan you are to be posting in the russian threads, not this, we are fining you 50 us dollars (no you can't pay it with your rubles, they are worthless, that's why we pay you with them)
Bosnians took Turkish traditions after turning into surrender monkeys, that "coffee" is basically a dissolved ground powder, as the turks have no style or taste.
Hence the tiny little cups. One of those is practically half of a normal pot. You're supposed to sip it slowly and throw away the other half.
my god thats literally all just commercial off the shelf shit, imagine just packing canned grocery store crap in a cardboard sleeve and calling it a military ration.
that's fun and probably tasty but you know that's only tenable for a small peacetime military, which France is.
The Brits use commercially available foods as well, just repackaged for military users. They will have a contract with them to produce for it for them.
Didn't the US military switch from the military brown packaging to the civilian type? At least for the MCW Long Range patrol ones. Or did they just stop making those?
French fag here, I tried to source the components and for the main meals they are specially made for the rations, you'll find some meals but : not in the same format, that flat package doesn't exist in the commercial civil world and some recipes aren't available canned anyway. Also biscuits packages like that do not exist for commercial sale.
Everything else, you can get it (not barre commando kek)
Main meals do not need water, maybe you save on the water but as package is heavier than US rations because it's canned, it should be about the same.
Not gonna lie, I find US rations very, very adapted to being thrown in a backpack and easy and fast to eat.
But hey, no porc risotto, no ostrich sauté, tuna with coconut milk, etc.
IIRC what some military guys told me, they break down the rations, stuff their pockets with the small things and eat the main course when they are back. Might change in different units.
There are some unobtainable commando rations that look like the US ones for guys who do serious shit. Steve did a review of them years ago
Some recent menus in picrel
my fridge has stuff like that too, and it tastes even better than French and Italian rations
> Mostly just beans, crackers, sauce, candy, drink mix > One menu so you better fucking like that shit or be starving to death
I find it hard to imagine how you could possibly eat worse than this unless you are a moron in Yemen who is NOT receiving humanitarian aid
>unless you are a moron in Yemen who is NOT receiving humanitarian aid
do you understand the point of a HDR?
Bro, there are kids in villages in Asia who eat better than that. What the fuck are you talking about. Where do you live that your conditions are that bad, Mariupol?
>there are kids in villages in Asia who eat better than that
so they're not getting HDRs
also, no, I can assure you that the bottom 20% of Asians absolutely do not eat better than that HDR. nutrition statistics of the bottom tier of the turdworld are seriously depressing to read.
I said that the HDR seems to be pretty lousy food and that if I wasn't unable to get basically anything else - which is the target demographic for the HDR, starving Yemeni morons - I would not like to eat it. What I said is that I find it difficult to believe you are eating a worse meal than this, because this is extremely basic food and you probably COULD eat exactly like this for like $2/day of rice, beans, bulk applesauce, etc.
I'd be willing to bet that many relatively well-off first worlders eat worse every day just because they don't pay any attention to what they eat. Far more calories and artificial flavoring to fool your lizard brain into thinking it's good for you, but nutrition values and especially micronutrient/vitamin balance are all fucked up.
Bread is surprisingly nutritious, especially the artificial crap in a plastic bag, because it gets enriched with vitamins, because white bread is otherwise extremely un-nutritious.
But you will still fucking go blind eating like that for decades. Still, it's amazing you can live off of this shit for years and not just die

That curry stuff doesn't look too awful for 50 rupees. At least it's better than just white rice.
I mean yeah, an HDR contains at least a more diverse variety of food than this stuff, and I can't imagine mystery curry with rice is all that nutritious, but it's shelf stable food and there's only one menu.
And I also don't think that that bottom third of Asians is posting on PrepHole.

I doubt anyone here actually eats nothing but bread and potato chips. Even if you eat nothing but fast food, as long as you don't order the exact same item every single day, you'll get enough trace nutrients to live perfectly fine. And I'd certainly prefer to eat that instead of the same humanitarian ration pack every day. I imagine it gets old quick.

unfortunately, even technically non-starving Yemeni morons don't in fact eat like this
it's quite sad but the bottom third or even quarter of Asians eat basically rice with salt, and a half-handful of green leaves, usually a kind of spinach or cress

Not for low-weight high-intensity combat use, no. They have those rations in lieu of having kitchens available fucking everywhere, so for a ration they're pretty good and full of commercial goods, but compared to having a proper hot meal they're shit.

>is it possible to be more obvious?
Third world retard, Nazi Germany was feeding their cück army more söy than any other army in the world. But you think they're so based and redpilled, don't you?
The side effects weren't known at the time, and Germany was facing severe resource shortages so they couldn't afford anything else. The US government knows better and can afford better, but still chooses to feed their soldiers poison in order to line the pockets of the agricultural lobby.
It's more your weird assertion that basedbeans are poisonous. Those beans have been cultivated by humans as a staple food crop for so long we don't even know what it's wild ancestor is.

>4 bars; 3 sweet, 1 savoury >4 bags of nibbles; 3 sweet, 1 savoury >2 flat crackers >2 sweet spreads >1 eat from the bag dish >1 drink powder mix >energy gel
I feel like the US military is overcomplicating this shit, especially with the nibbles
If I were to be in the situation envisioned for this ration, I wouldn't want to juggle all those bags of loose nibbles, I'd just want to get calories down my neck fast
also, what is up with all those sweets?
my version would be >3 savoury bars; 2 mains, 1 snack >4 sweet bars; 3 desserts, 1 snack >1 eat from the bag dish >2 or 3 electrolyte drink powders
there's no time to be faffing about with crackers and spread. each bar should be 400 calories. unwrap, eat, carry on.
the energy gel and caffeine gum is brilliant though
Depends on the macros
I'd design one assault ration meal to deliver 800 calories split say 50% carbs, 25% protein and 25% fat
I'd make that: >two 80-gram beef bars (400cal) >one 80-gram vegetable granola bar (200cal) >one 40-gram chocolate bar (200cal)
The beef bars would be a little more tender and moist compared to jerky due to higher fat content. The granola and chocolate would also have some fats.
Each 24hour ration would have two such meal sets, one meal made up of eat from the bag whole food, and a jerky snack bar and a pressed fruit snack bar.
The point is not to be juggling all those fucking bags of loose nuts and cranberry bits. Who the fuck has time for that?

sad
the barre commando looks awesome, I'd like to try it >maybe you save on the water but as package is heavier than US rations because it's canned
also because of the water
I guarantee the water content adds at least 250g compared to MREs, maybe 500g compared to wholly freeze dried meals
You're just over-thinking it to make your phallic-shaped meat bar idea seem better, but guess what? You can just admit you're a homo and put dicks in your mouth without coming up with a whole new MRE for it. Everything shown is pretty easy to just eat on the go, even the bags of loose stuff, you can just crack one open and chow that down one at a time.
You know you disagree without being an irritating cunt? If you can't eat jerky without thinking of penises, you're the one with dicks on the mind, it seems.
>chow that down one at a time

Are you one of those people with no internal monologue, or who can't actually something in his mind's eye? Just because that's what you saw the dude in the video do, doesn't that's what you have to do. Anyone in a situation where that MRE was designed for, they'd just eat the crackers and the spread on their own.
>the barre commando looks awesome, I'd like to try it
It really depends on the flavor. I don't like the vanilla ones, coffee ones, meh.
They have a high content of caffeine
I think the fruit gelées in RCIRs are a great idea, and more nations should adopt them instead of candy bars.

Easily, open the edge of one, keep it in your pocket, shake some into your mouth occasionally before stuffing the packet in your pocket.
Most soldiers break down a ration pack and just take/ trade for what they want anyway. Could store crackers in your pocket, eat them on the go, and squeeze the spread into your mouth at the same time.

I think smoking cogs or cigars is best enjoyed as a small treat once in a very long while. The damage is no more than sitting near a smoky fire for a night, and nobody would bitch at you for calling regularly. It's when you do it all day every day it becomes an issue.
as it is with everything
all things in moderation
go back
I've never touched a cig and never will, had too many family members drop from lung cancer or similar ailments due to smoking. When I was in Europe, especially rural France and a lot of post-communist nations, I was looked at like a fucking madman because I politely turned down cigarettes.
Nobody smokes more than the Japanese, and they have some of the longest life expectancy on the planet. Pretty much every place I visited had an ashtray on the table and the whole restaurant was hazy
Probably all the food chemicals they use banned elsewhere preserving their insides.
I'd say a balanced diet and regular exercise is probably doing wonders for them. I never saw a fat Jap once while I was there. Most people don't own a car, and they bike/walk to train stations and use trains for their commute.
>One in Four Deaths in Japan Caused by Cancer
>This accounts for 27.6% of all deaths that year and equates to one in four people dying of cancer. The death rate for cancer—the number of deaths per 100,000 people—has been rising steadily and in 2020 reached 307.0. For men, the type of cancer with the highest death rate at 88.8 was lung cancer (53,244 deaths), followed by stomach cancer (27,769), and colorectal cancer (27,715). For women, the most common type with a death rate of 38.0 was colorectal cancer (24,069) and then lung cancer (22,337)
Lung cancer, anon
>they have some of the longest life expectancy on the planet
yeah sure
if you live in Okinawa, eat a moderate pescetarian diet and don't have any vices at all
FYI for those of you who've never lived on public transport, you will spend at least 10 minutes a trip walking, minimum, more if your bus or rail stations are awkwardly placed or your destination isn't prime real estate. Every trip of every day, be it your work commute, shopping, date nights, etc.
Considering 1 in 3 men will get cancer sometime in their lives, and 1 in 2 women will, that doesn't sound statistically abnormal.
I actually didn't mind walking everywhere, it was easier to relax even when I had somewhere to be or a schedule to keep, compared to driving a car for a commute everyday which is a frankly fucking miserable experience everywhere I've been, in the states and abroad.
I should add, I love cars, I love working on em', racing at the track, the mechanics of it all. I love supercharged V8s, turbo'd 4 bangers, weird german 3 cylinder diesels, all of them. The mechanics and development of them are just as interesting to me as firearms history is, for mostly the same reasons.
Did I mind commuting in a car when I lived in the middle of nowhere? No that was easy. But anywhere with traffic, any city I even had to pass NEAR was a nightmare. I very much preferred the trains, walking/biking in Japan. Yes they're crowded as fuck, but they're very clean, timely, and the chances of some crackhead pissing in a corner are slim to none.
>it was easier to relax even when I had somewhere to be or a schedule to keep, compared to driving a car for a commute everyday
It is
>Considering 1 in 3 men will get cancer sometime in their lives, and 1 in 2 women will
I have doubts about that statistic
Anyway, the point is that smoking probably does wear out your lungs faster, not to mention other respiratory diseases which are also above average in Japan. If you truly want the above average lifespan you need to live like Okinawans not Tokyo...ians.
>I have doubts about that statistic

Either way I agree, smoking is definitely bad for you, but a cigarette a month or even a week will definitely not kill you like some people think. Also, cigarettes in Asia and Europe aren't legally mandated to taste like burnt asshole like they are in the states. Japanese blueberry crush cigs are my absolute favorite thing I've smoked, it's MILES above what we get in the US
Very interesting article, thank you.

I hate anti-smokers so much and I don't even smoke anymore.

Age is by far the best predicting factor for cancer anon. Japan has a shit ton of old people, of course cancer rates are higher than in countries with younger populations.
>Nobody smokes more than the Japanese
I'm pretty sure that either Chinese or Indians are global leaders in term of smoking. For example, in China, doctors smoke like 5 times more than in western countries.

Bosnians took Turkish traditions after turning into surrender monkeys, that "coffee" is basically a dissolved ground powder, as the turks have no style or taste.
Hence the tiny little cups. One of those is practically half of a normal pot. You're supposed to sip it slowly and throw away the other half.

The prototype ration video makes me really happy and makes me really wonder how far US ration technology will go within 20 years.
>my kids being surprised we never had the filet mignon ration with a side of buttered asparagus and mashed potatoes
I mean this shit is really, really cool.
Don't the French and Italians already have stuff like that?
my god thats literally all just commercial off the shelf shit, imagine just packing canned grocery store crap in a cardboard sleeve and calling it a military ration.
that's fun and probably tasty but you know that's only tenable for a small peacetime military, which France is.
The Brits use commercially available foods as well, just repackaged for military users. They will have a contract with them to produce for it for them.
Didn't the US military switch from the military brown packaging to the civilian type? At least for the MCW Long Range patrol ones. Or did they just stop making those?
Couldn't tell you, last US MRR I had was in 2014 when we acquired a crate off them, and those were the brown packaged MRE's
Estonia does the same thing, i think.
The new ones are going to be different. No canned shit
Putting the same crap in olive drab packaging and slapping a US ARMY logo on it doesn't magically make it more practical or last longer
Correct. That isnt what the US Army does, though, so im confused at to why you would bring up st a situation
French fag here, I tried to source the components and for the main meals they are specially made for the rations, you'll find some meals but : not in the same format, that flat package doesn't exist in the commercial civil world and some recipes aren't available canned anyway. Also biscuits packages like that do not exist for commercial sale.
Everything else, you can get it (not barre commando kek)
Main meals do not need water, maybe you save on the water but as package is heavier than US rations because it's canned, it should be about the same.
Not gonna lie, I find US rations very, very adapted to being thrown in a backpack and easy and fast to eat.
But hey, no porc risotto, no ostrich sauté, tuna with coconut milk, etc.
IIRC what some military guys told me, they break down the rations, stuff their pockets with the small things and eat the main course when they are back. Might change in different units.
There are some unobtainable commando rations that look like the US ones for guys who do serious shit. Steve did a review of them years ago

>CCAR actually shrinks food

my fridge has stuff like that too, and it tastes even better than French and Italian rations
>unless you are a moron in Yemen who is NOT receiving humanitarian aid
do you understand the point of a HDR?
>there are kids in villages in Asia who eat better than that
so they're not getting HDRs
also, no, I can assure you that the bottom 20% of Asians absolutely do not eat better than that HDR. nutrition statistics of the bottom tier of the turdworld are seriously depressing to read.
I said that the HDR seems to be pretty lousy food and that if I wasn't unable to get basically anything else - which is the target demographic for the HDR, starving Yemeni morons - I would not like to eat it. What I said is that I find it difficult to believe you are eating a worse meal than this, because this is extremely basic food and you probably COULD eat exactly like this for like $2/day of rice, beans, bulk applesauce, etc.
Sadly this is probably true
>rice, beans, bulk applesauce
No meat, no fresh fruit, no fresh veg? You'd waste away from malnutrition
Explain people living off chips and bread
Bread is surprisingly nutritious, especially the artificial crap in a plastic bag, because it gets enriched with vitamins, because white bread is otherwise extremely un-nutritious.
But you will still fucking go blind eating like that for decades. Still, it's amazing you can live off of this shit for years and not just die
These people usually don't count when they do shit like go to gran's house for dinner, or someone buys them a bag of fruit, etc
Also they may be getting their macros, but malnutrition will hit them further down the line
>"You" is the guy who I originally replied to who says that people on humanitarian rations eat better than he does
Lol who knows what he actually eats
>That curry stuff doesn't look too awful for 50 rupees. At least it's better than just white rice
That HDR bean stew would have more calories
I doubt anyone here actually eats nothing but bread and potato chips. Even if you eat nothing but fast food, as long as you don't order the exact same item every single day, you'll get enough trace nutrients to live perfectly fine. And I'd certainly prefer to eat that instead of the same humanitarian ration pack every day. I imagine it gets old quick.
Theres a grouchy old fuck on my street who says he only eats rice and fried chicken. Well beer too. Granted he most likely has one foot in the grave
Rice and beans make a complete protein source you absolute fucking retard.
>whoosh
shut the fuck up
boo hoo
Lol you can live of actual onions dude (not s o y)
>the HDR seems to be pretty lousy food and that if I wasn't unable to get basically anything else - which is the target demographic for the HDR, starving Yemeni morons - I would not like to eat it
Thank you for the non sequitur, but no, the HDR isn't designed to be an attractive alternative to your weeknight chicken parm and spaghetti
>I find it difficult to believe you are eating a worse meal than this
who the fuck is "you" lol
>this is extremely basic food and you probably COULD eat exactly like this for like $2/day of rice, beans, bulk applesauce, etc.
unfortunately, even technically non-starving Yemeni morons don't in fact eat like this
it's quite sad but the bottom third or even quarter of Asians eat basically rice with salt, and a half-handful of green leaves, usually a kind of spinach or cress
you think that that thick bean stew is poorfag food? you haven't seen poorfag bean sauce
sunflower seed butter? enriched bean salad? a fucking SMOOTHIE? positively luxurious
"You" is the guy who I originally replied to who says that people on humanitarian rations eat better than he does.
That curry stuff doesn't look too awful for 50 rupees. At least it's better than just white rice.
I mean yeah, an HDR contains at least a more diverse variety of food than this stuff, and I can't imagine mystery curry with rice is all that nutritious, but it's shelf stable food and there's only one menu.
And I also don't think that that bottom third of Asians is posting on PrepHole.
Not for low-weight high-intensity combat use, no. They have those rations in lieu of having kitchens available fucking everywhere, so for a ration they're pretty good and full of commercial goods, but compared to having a proper hot meal they're shit.
absolutely not. I can fit a first strike and 2 MREs into my backpacking load for the same weight of RCIR (as amazing as they are)
Where's the omelette du fromage
those tin cans are the yummiest fucking cans in the world, i wish i could find a non mre supply

brings back memories of driving down to the Provence with my parents bribing me and my brother with what ever food stuffs we wanted to just shut up and not fight
I've had one of these before, the commando bars are really good.
Fucking humanitarian aided morons eat better than myself.
> Mostly just beans, crackers, sauce, candy, drink mix
> One menu so you better fucking like that shit or be starving to death
I find it hard to imagine how you could possibly eat worse than this unless you are a moron in Yemen who is NOT receiving humanitarian aid
I'd be willing to bet that many relatively well-off first worlders eat worse every day just because they don't pay any attention to what they eat. Far more calories and artificial flavoring to fool your lizard brain into thinking it's good for you, but nutrition values and especially micronutrient/vitamin balance are all fucked up.
>> One menu so you better fucking like that shit or be starving to death
If you don't eat it because you don't like it, then you don't need food aid, you need to stop being lazy.
So become a humanitarian aided moron, you homo.
Bro, there are kids in villages in Asia who eat better than that. What the fuck are you talking about. Where do you live that your conditions are that bad, Mariupol?
You have the power to determine your own diet, stop eating garbage.

Stop being degenerate and improve yourself.

If you are that poor, you probably are eligible for aid
Nice.

What did he mean by this?
>is it possible to be more obvious?
Third world retard, Nazi Germany was feeding their cück army more söy than any other army in the world. But you think they're so based and redpilled, don't you?
The side effects weren't known at the time, and Germany was facing severe resource shortages so they couldn't afford anything else. The US government knows better and can afford better, but still chooses to feed their soldiers poison in order to line the pockets of the agricultural lobby.
This screams of bro science
"Nazi Germany had resource shortages in WW2" sounds like bro science to you?
It's more your weird assertion that basedbeans are poisonous. Those beans have been cultivated by humans as a staple food crop for so long we don't even know what it's wild ancestor is.
You sound like one of those frumpy middle-aged women bitching about wheat on facebook.

>muh nazis

Those retort pouches are lined with metal foil, and I'd assume the plastic is some kind of polyethylene or similarly chemically inert polymer anyway; if they were expecting you to cook the stuff in polystyrene cups then I'd be more worried, but it seems benign enough

>4 bars; 3 sweet, 1 savoury
>4 bags of nibbles; 3 sweet, 1 savoury
>2 flat crackers
>2 sweet spreads
>1 eat from the bag dish
>1 drink powder mix
>energy gel
I feel like the US military is overcomplicating this shit, especially with the nibbles
If I were to be in the situation envisioned for this ration, I wouldn't want to juggle all those bags of loose nibbles, I'd just want to get calories down my neck fast
also, what is up with all those sweets?
my version would be
>3 savoury bars; 2 mains, 1 snack
>4 sweet bars; 3 desserts, 1 snack
>1 eat from the bag dish
>2 or 3 electrolyte drink powders
there's no time to be faffing about with crackers and spread. each bar should be 400 calories. unwrap, eat, carry on.
the energy gel and caffeine gum is brilliant though
You mean like those chink clay bars?
Depends on the macros
I'd design one assault ration meal to deliver 800 calories split say 50% carbs, 25% protein and 25% fat
I'd make that:
>two 80-gram beef bars (400cal)
>one 80-gram vegetable granola bar (200cal)
>one 40-gram chocolate bar (200cal)
The beef bars would be a little more tender and moist compared to jerky due to higher fat content. The granola and chocolate would also have some fats.
Each 24hour ration would have two such meal sets, one meal made up of eat from the bag whole food, and a jerky snack bar and a pressed fruit snack bar.
The point is not to be juggling all those fucking bags of loose nuts and cranberry bits. Who the fuck has time for that?
>biscuits packages like that do not exist for commercial sale
not where you are; I can get them
try asking biscuit manufacturers if they know of any retail stores, if you're very lucky they might give you the time of day
>Everything else, you can get it (not barre commando
sad
the barre commando looks awesome, I'd like to try it
>maybe you save on the water but as package is heavier than US rations because it's canned
also because of the water
I guarantee the water content adds at least 250g compared to MREs, maybe 500g compared to wholly freeze dried meals
You're just over-thinking it to make your phallic-shaped meat bar idea seem better, but guess what? You can just admit you're a homo and put dicks in your mouth without coming up with a whole new MRE for it. Everything shown is pretty easy to just eat on the go, even the bags of loose stuff, you can just crack one open and chow that down one at a time.
You know you disagree without being an irritating cunt? If you can't eat jerky without thinking of penises, you're the one with dicks on the mind, it seems.
>chow that down one at a time
Why fuck around with a bag of M&Ms instead of a Snickers bar?
>Everything shown is pretty easy to just eat on the go
Or fuck around with tubes of spread and crackers?
>You know you disagree without being an irritating cunt?
Sorry you came to this website to be mollycoddled. Try reddit instead.
>Why fuck around with a bag of M&Ms instead of a Snickers bar?
Same amount of effort to open the bag / bar and eat the content in three to four mouthfuls. You just think your idea is the shit because you came up with it.
>Or fuck around with tubes of spread and crackers?
Are you one of those people with no internal monologue, or who can't actually something in his mind's eye? Just because that's what you saw the dude in the video do, doesn't that's what you have to do. Anyone in a situation where that MRE was designed for, they'd just eat the crackers and the spread on their own.
Post guns, pussy.
Obnoxious gay who will die alone
>the barre commando looks awesome, I'd like to try it
It really depends on the flavor. I don't like the vanilla ones, coffee ones, meh.
They have a high content of caffeine
I think the fruit gelées in RCIRs are a great idea, and more nations should adopt them instead of candy bars.
Can't be arsed to get them out the shed just to please a disagreeable little pissant. Newsflash sweaty, it's not a personality to be a mouthy cunt. Gun-toting or not.
I accept your concession of defeat.
>thinks only in memes
>Who the fuck has time for that?
Easily, open the edge of one, keep it in your pocket, shake some into your mouth occasionally before stuffing the packet in your pocket.
Most soldiers break down a ration pack and just take/ trade for what they want anyway. Could store crackers in your pocket, eat them on the go, and squeeze the spread into your mouth at the same time.
I like steves videos but his comments section is pure reddit tier bullshit

You know you disagree without being an irritating cunt?

Please don't
Doesn’t look like hair implants tbh senpai
His hair is just longer and not pulled back. Also long hair in a low pony like that pulls out hair from the front. When I cut my hair from long as fuck to Ryan gosling in drive, my hairline thickened out a bit.
>When I cut my hair from long as fuck to Ryan gosling in drive, my hairline thickened out a bit.
This. When you keep your ponytail too tight, it will start pulling your hair and thinning is inevitable
Steve is a handsome lad.
Not even a little
he just needs to not do those stupid facial hair trims

I hate to be the one to say it but Steve's health seems to be deteriorating. I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes so to speak but you can see it in his face. His normal 1000 yard stare has become a transfixed 3000 yard stare. The happiness has gone from his eyes. Worried about this dude.
But he says he's feeling better than ever
I mean, look at his gains
I think it's just aging.
He keeps saying otherwise though. He definitely looks more fit.
