    It was the most hated, and it sucked because it was cold.
    But a triox stove and your canteen cup, you could make an awesome dinner of Tabasco franks and beans.
    Break out your canteen cup and stove, lay out the beans, franks, salt, tabasco, and ketchup powder.
    Open the packets with your handy Swiss Army Knife.
    Light the triox bar, put the beans into the canteen cup. Use the beans package as a cutting board to slice up the franks with your SAK. Pour your sliced franks on the beans and stir with your white plastic spoon.
    Then add the ketchup powder and tabasco sauce and salt to taste.
    Simmer until hot, or until the triox bar burns out.
    Enjoy the hot beans and franks.
    Alternately, if you didn't have the time to rig up your field stove, drop the pouches in your tee shirt and warm them that way until you get to the evening patrol base.
    Mixing up the creamer, coffee, sugar, and cocoa was absolutely amazing during a long night. Especially if you hadn't already chewed up the coffee with the chiclets during your patrol movement.

(Crystal Light, Hi-C, Kool-Aid, etc.)

    Even potato chip bags have atleast 3 different layers. More complex bags can have upto 15 layers. I'm sure some more complex private versions exist. Basic 3 layer systems are plastic aluminum plastic. Outside layer is for printing on and moisturizer barrier. Aluminum to prevent ultraviolet/ light entry and gas retention/ prevention. Inside layer is to prevent gas, moisturizer, and or gas exchanges. Plastic actually is slightly porous with gas and smaller molecules. I used to pack my own food for backpacking and tried layers of plastic and foil changing gloves in-between layers. I tested it with raccoons. It worked until it was opened. if it wouldn't be illegal I would love to see if it would work with dr ug dogs.

    how did they distribute rations? did soldiers pick what they wanted or were you forced to get a different one each day? or did some guys just get stuck eating what no one else wanted every day?

    What’s the shelflife on an MRE like this?

    • @ReadinessRations
      @ReadinessRations  2 місяці тому

      It really depends on storage. MRE is only designed to last 5 years but in reality they can last decades if stored in ideal conditions. There are some out there from 1981 that are still in perfect shape while it's totally possible to run across a 2015 that is trash just because it was kept too hot.

    The consistency of the 4 fingers of death is that of Vienna sausages. (Little canned hot dogs)
    I hated that particular entree and still hate Vienna sausages for the horrible memories of this entree.
    ketchup and catsup are the same thing, just different regional spelling

    • @Harleqwin

      Vienna sausages are better than the 4 fingers of death Dogs. I know, because I served '88 to '91 and had to occasionally eat that stuff. Chicken ala king was my favorite because it went well with hot sauce. We all carried extra hot sauce, at least 1 bottle per tank.
      Those hot dogs were the WORST. Beans were good tho.
      Best thing I remember from those MRE's was the dehydrated fruit; I loved that stuff. it would slowly melt in your mouth as it absorbed water if you ate it straight from the package.
      The crackers were usually good, if the package stayed airtight. The cheese pack was good, and DO NOT EAT the peanut butter pack; you will not be able to do #2 for a couple days.

      @@Harleqwin That is if you actually got either packet. And you needed to knead the PB packet really good to get the oil mixed back in otherwise you would be bound up as the oil helped keep your guts well lubed. On the other hand if you kneaded it to the point there was more oil vs peanut butter you would be filling your pants because your innards were too loose.
