    Great video , great idea. Some technology is developed first in the military and then trickles down to the civilian commercial Market. Think GPS, night vision Etc. However, If you study the history of military rations one thing becomes apparent. Commercial food preparation preservation and packaging techniques have generally been ahead and every so often the military decides to update to take advantage of the technology from the civilian sector. The ideas Illustrated here will go a long way to filling the role of the MRE for a fraction of the cost! It's really got everything going for it. Useful, affordable, easy to do and fun!

    The cost of three of the MRE sandwiches on your link, make this very expensive. The moment you added an MRE component to this, I think you made this cost prohibitive, when compared to actual MRE's.

      amazon is charging $22 for 3 of the sandwiches in this mre. I found a website today that sells 12 whole full meal mre's for $10 each that is with the heater bag. Paying $22 for 3 sandwiches is way out of my price range and the shelf life isn't long enough to pay that much

    What is the total calories for the contents ? I would also add coffee, sugar & tea bags as these comfort items are a great morale booster. I would add some FREE condiments like you get from coffee shops & a few serviettes (napkins for the Americans) which could be used as a Toilet Pater after that potent food LOL. Add some hard boiled lollies (candy in USA) to give you a sugar hit as you move.

    • @thedude1368
      @thedude1368 3 роки тому +4

      Could throw a moisture and oxygen absorbers in the pouch after vacuum sealing it and it should last longer but honestly I'd bank on having to throw them in the oven/heat them some way once I need to open the MRE year or two later.
      For this reason alone I'd suggest swapping out the tortilla with crackers which are more shelf stable and same effect.

    • @BryanMPhx
      @BryanMPhx Рік тому +1

      Exactly, fat content so will tend to go rancid. Better would be some durable crackers. Overall a good kit though, something to keep in your get home bag, vehicle, B.O.B., etc.

      Honestly, same concept for military MREs, and their in just about every pack. They last for years. You can put an oxygen absorber in them if you too concerned. But they will be good for a few years at least. I've eaten them over 4 years old, no problem.

      Space saving, compresses it. We used to do the same with MRE contents because the MRE pack is quite bulky in the ruck or in the butt pack. Fits better in BDU pockets too.

To be fair I am 18 and like 130 pounds but I have a really high metabolism and that usually covers me for a day and I don't mean like keeps me alive like I get full
