Just an old Canadian who thinks he’s a Cajun ( Just Southern at heart I guess ). My channel is a little off, I do things a different way , no tray, I weigh the rations and the garbage and I boil water ( Like watching paint dry… ). I spent 4 years in the Canadian Army Reserve, specifically the Canadian Scottish Regiment from 1992-1996.
I can be reached at bourbonstjoe@gmail.com if need be and I’m more than happy to spread some ration or Canadian treat/snack love throughout the ration community. I’m into trades or exchanges. Thanks to everyone for their support.

Another boxed offering by VOENTORG, touted as a hunter fisher ration. I hope y’all enjoy ( and have several laughs at my expense ). Cheers! Please note I use fisher and angler interchangeably. Also note I use buckwheat and barley interchangeably…the tin is beef and barley not beef and buckwheat 😬.

Very cool friend. Been A while since I tried menu 6. It still looks awesome. Sorry some items showed their age, but to be expected. I'M glad you didn't go hungry. Nicely done. Peace, John.
Thank you brother John!
Great job NolaJoe. I enjoy when you film your face. It shows you and your personality. You always do a great job dude. That tropical punch put you in its place!!!😂😂😂. I was surprised to see it mix up! All in all, great review brother!
Thanks Mike. I try brother. 👍
Great review! We were wondering where you found a spot to film! Thank you for giving me a taste of the pizza snacks.
I’ll track down some actual combos…
steve1989 successor
I would humbly decline that title. Steve is an amazing pillar of the ration community, a real OG and I’m a Canuck in his garage. I appreciate the comparison, but there’s betters candidates than I….
Awesome location! Glad most of that was still good! Awesome Joe!
Thanks man! ❤
Looked like you filmed in my yard lol
I’d film in your yard anytime man! Apparently only 38 hours to get there…
I wish that was our yard!
@laurahockman6341 I'm in Alaska so close enough
where's the tray man???
No tray….
Howdy Amigo. A lot of these seem to be on the market, from amount of reviews. I have not lucked into one of these yet. Hopefully soon, LOL. They seem slightly more solid than an HDR to me. I know this one is fresher at least, LOL. Either will hold you over. Components look good. Glad you ate well. Cool review. Peace, John. P.S. , cool intro, LOL.
that is still prepping, justl like buying car insurance or health insurance
Fair enough. Thanks Kaylynn.
Awesome review Joe
Thank you Miss Marilyn! 😊
After hearing you use the word gloopy 🤣🤣🤣 I don’t think I want to try these
After hearing the word gloopy why WOULDN’T you?!? 🤪
@@bourbonstjoeNOLA 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 Jerms 2.0
JERMS 1.5 really…
@@bourbonstjoeNOLA you just have to add a few more curse words 🤣🤣🤣
😆😆 Love the intro and the outtake 😆😆 Hilarious! I bought a case of these but haven't tried one. I've had a few HDR's and I really thought they were pretty good for what they are. Good thing you didn't say THE word!! Boy oh boy the 👮 would be after you! 😆😆 Awesome Joe!!
Awww you’re just saying that cause you’re in the video…sort of. Love you buddy!!! 😘
Yeah because we know he invented the English language and that particular word 🤣🤣🖕🏽them
I want to be head of Jerms 👮! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 great review babe!
Thanks brother! I knew you’d love the spoof. 😂
Thanks baby!
I personally would love to try horse meat also bear informative review as usual well done 👍🏾 P.S. I don’t know if you saw the email but I received your package about a week or two ago I’m going to do a unboxing and tag you
I did notice you got the package, glad to hear that! Bear is gamy, but lean…usually.
I missed this earlier, sorry. I am behind. Old Lith I love. Just wish salted and roasted nuts. New Liths. , I have not tried. Looks very cool. Extra use of plastic, agreed, LOL. Curry main is different. Some other components look familiar. No Ruta chocolate? Dang Bro. That is trading material, in our circle, LOL. At least no wooden spoon. Use them, you taste spoon more than the meal, sorry, personal opinion only. Food looks good. I see no major complaints. Just some minor ones, we have in most rations. Seems normal Joe. You ate well, and did not starve. Like you, I consider this meal A success. Peace from Ky. John. Again, sorry I am behind watching friends reviews. Be safe.
Alot of people eat horse Its a western idea to see a work animal as a pet People have pigs as pets Its not a dog chill Also please show more of the label For example im Kazakh born German raised and id love to read the Russian label to have a heads-up 😂😂😂 Btw Meats Говядина - Beef Свинина - Pork Курица - Chicken Grains and etc Рис - Rice Перловка - Pearl barley Горох - Peas Фасоль - Beans Гречка - Buckwheat Misc Повидло - Jam Икра - Vegetable caviar (could also stand for fish caviar) Сахар - Sugar
You. Are. Amazing! Thanks for the comment and the insight! I will try and include more labeling from now on! 😁👍
the only ration I ever ate was one I stole from my brother that he got from air cadets. I've watched steve for years and years but branching out and watching other people in the ration community has been so much fun and insightful. The amount of interesting stuff I've been learning is insane. Rations are a super fascinating part of militaries current and past.
Why thank you! I hope I can help with that 😁
Dear God had to skip around the whole video. Just yapping about the justification for eating x meat or not.
Which one is talking? Your fingers or your mouth?
Yes! Both! Neither? Thanks for dropping by I do appreciate it.
No one cares about eating horse meat. I wanna know about your racist suck patch.
Alright man, okay review, but god damn do you linger on your S's
The only one of these I ever tried, was like the first one you showed, with carry handle on top. Breakfast was on bottom, so you could tear off, then carry Lunch and Dinner. That was several Yrs. ago, so I might be mistaken. Newer styles, I have never tried. Yours looks interesting. Horse meat I have never tried. I never judge another countries food. All countries are different, agreed. The veggie caviar, I always liked, in Russian rations or others. Usually zucchini based with some tomato. Apple butter, I love ! Mains look normal for that region of Europe. I see no problems with them. I have enjoyed most from that area. I think you had A good meal, and enjoyed most, friend. Nicely done. Awesome review. Peace, John. Stay safe.
Thanks brother John !
Pavedlo would be the apple butter/jam
Thanks! My Russian isn’t…well it’s nonexistent
It’s just another meat to me. Kids have little squirrels and hamsters and rabbits as pets and country boys go hunting for squirrel meat in the woods every so often and the old folks used to live on it. Same with Rabbit which you can just buy in the store these days.
Meat is meat. I can’t understand why vegans insist on eating plant based products that resemble meat.
@@bourbonstjoeNOLA I actually get it, they have ethical concerns about the way conventional meat animals are raised and butchered and sustainability but they like a protein texture. I actually like Tofu when made right, like in Mapo Tofu, so spicy, but I’m a carnivore at heart. The pasture raised sustainably raised stuff is so much better for our air and environment just expensive as hell. For me personally the more “exotic” a meat the better. I love me some oxtails or chicken hearts or shellfish that no no one has ever heard of.
A horse is a horse of course, of course. 😂 Great video!
Thanks for stopping by!
Great video and ration!! Mine from 2016 was completely roached and I think I was able to just look at the components. 2022 is a fresh one!! Those canned mains are nice but seem a bit bulky but it works in this context. Nice score.
Thanks Matt!
Maybe skip out on the moral justification of eating x animal next time, that was more annoying to listen to for those of us who also don't care, than was worth the effort spent trying to explain yourself to anyone who might have an issue with it.
Noted. I will not waste the video time in the future. Thanks. And thanks for dropping by!
You should do whats called a "tier list" of all the mres youve tried and rank them from best to worst
I could. It’d be hard to rate though…there have been SO many…
Awesome review Joe
Thank you Miss Marilyn! Hit me up via email. I’ll get those IMPs to you….
I had that exact knife it broke in a trash compactor
😢
@@bourbonstjoeNOLA i heard it scrapping then snap thats when i knew it was broke in 2
Even though I have several Russian MREs, not a fan of the canned dog food visuals when you open these bad boys.
It’s a thing, we eat with our eyes too…
Evening mate 👍😎. That's an unusual one for shore... Never seen one like this before. Tc Andy
Evening Bruv! Love what you’re posting of late! Be well!
@@bourbonstjoeNOLA thank you for your kind words 👍
Thanks for a great review! Gonna have to try and get my hands on one. 😊
Thanks for dropping by. You obviously served? If you can’t find one I’ll check my stock..😊
@@bourbonstjoeNOLA I was medically retired from the Navy. During Desert Storm, I had a bad mishap that landed me in the hospital for a year. Four back surgeries later, I walk with a bit of a gimp. But I'm okay. 😊
I would love to find one with the horse meat. I'm sure Customs would ruin it.
Man I've been trying hard to get one of these with horse meat! Finally got one on the way! Just want to try it once. Sounded like it was good! Awesome Joe!!
I bet its neigh good when you try it.
It’s lune lean beef…
@@bourbonstjoeNOLA Sorry BSJ I dont get the lune reference! 🙂
the furby/furry joke got this video off to a great start 🤣i was getting whiplash listening to you list off what sounded like every country in Europe when going over the contents of this ration. seems like its assembly was a continental team effort! apple flavored protein drink seems strange to me, but maybe it would be weirdly refreshing?
I’m glad you liked it Schlee! Welcome back from FLA, I hope you had a great time. 🤗
Thanks Schlee! I’m catching up on your videos. I’m sad to hear about your arm…you are right, white and fine. I hope that’s not an awkward comment. Sorry if it is…😅
Man, I sure hope this isn't truly replacing the traditional Lithuanian rations. Those are (were??) some of the best! I'm sure Lithuanian soldiers would be very ticked off! Thanks for sharing Joe! Awesome review!
Might be..who knows? Budget cuts and all…
Awesome review Joe
Thank you Miss Marilyn!
Doesn't look like much of a meal but not everyone has a large appetite
It’s not bad really, 3 squares a day y’know. 😊
I agree looks like UK products and bag labeled differently. Great review. Thanks for sharing
The moment you said oat biscuits, just fruit I thought of a British ORP. Great review! Thanks as always for sharing
Yep. I think we all agree it’s a British ration.
Vestry Foods couldn't make a living just supplying the UK Armed Forces. So obviously they are taking on other work. Because it's going into the European Union it's advantageous that a certain percentage of it being actually manufactured in the E.U. That's a customs issue amongst other things. It's obviously done to a price, because it lacks a FRH. Which I believe the British Single Meal Pack is supplied with. The spoon: It may interest you to know that it is no longer legal to supply single use plastic utensils both in the UK or the European Union. It now has to be biodegradable. Good. So expect to see a lot of compressed paper or wooden utensils going forward. Also: I wouldn't be surprised if these are actually intended for the Ukrainian via Lithuania.
Your comments are always very informative. Thanks for that and thanks for watching!
yeah, where is CT at? I told him of a new Culvers in Wichita, nuthin, no reply or like. I like the look the Canadian version of the first strike ration better, 1 the main container actually closes and seals. Food looks better too.
I assume he’s doing Trucker things…last I heard he was 👌.
getting that mexican-irish flat bread in my mre would ruin my day ngl, that would have been frisbee'd into the stratosphere with murderous rage absolute abomination its not even bread, how do they think its acceptable to give that to grown men as nourishment id rather eat grass how do they expect you to have the will to engage with the enemy when they feed you clown flat bread with peanut butter like you're some kind of hispanic american peasant
Who eats a burrito A** 1st? 11:22
Gringos…..🤓
I don't understand why are you buying outdated mre and making review?
Because I’ve been buying rations for over 8 years or more now. I’ve been reviewing for about 2 years, most things I have are new again because they are old. Thanks for dropping by. 😁
Because it's cool and different
Thanks Jake!
I heard there is a version with a goat cheese squeeze pouch. Bizarre and probably super nasty after a few years.
That’s is correct, I believe Smitty has that particular menu…😬
Great review of a ration I haven't seen before. Your one-hand-skills will become legendary :). Tushonka is probably the best for long shelf storage.
Well Brother, I have not seen this ration. You are handsome, and you wear A Fu Manchu mustache, as well as I do, LOL. Them bugs are A witch, LOL. I like the camera set up, different and nice, Chill Bro. LOL. Most food I have seen , and can translate, from previous meals of mine. All are good components. Some are new to me, which is good to see. Crackers, well, are what they are. Interesting on grill, it seemed to produce challenges. Food does look good. You are out of your, normal confines. I do on occasion, go to grill or other, just to check my patience, or lack there of. It is difficult, I know. All good food, nicely done. You did have A challenge, but, I think you still had fun. Yes, challenge, but fun. Stay safe, you did well, sir. Peace, John. p.s., i loved all food, so you know. Stay safe.
