Awesome review Jerms

Nice review Jerms! That gum is nasty as hell! All other components are solid!

I hope you had a great 4th 🎆 Thanks for the bonus review

Excellent my friend. Those are a great enhancement for all rations. Love your bloopers. Have a great one.

Happy Fourth!!

Happy 4TH! Nice review man! Mine will be out Tuesday....I know it's late, but...

Nothing like a bonus video 🙃

Nicely done friend. Peace ✌️. Sorry I missed on message. Offer still stands Like vid.

Happy Fourth. Very nice review Jerms.

Happy 4th my BROTHER I used the gum, as I traveled across the country to Oregon and back....last year. The FLAVOR of gum I had was almost the nastiest tasting thing that ever graced my taste buds. Seriously.

Great review. Subbed and liked

hello, about the dates: 2020 is the production year, 2022 is the expiring date, and the 2019 one I think it's more on the bureaucratic side, "contratto" means contract as the agreement between the military corp and the producer (imho).

I good way to test if a meat product is safe to eat, is to try and offer some to a cat if you have one. It has to be a cat though. Don’t offer it to a dog because dogs will eat anything even if it’s gone bad. But cats have evolved to be able to smell bad unsafe meat and will not eat it (99% of cats at least). If your cats are willing to eat it, it’s safe for you to eat. But don’t actually let the cat really eat it though. So much preservatives in there. Not good for anyone really let alone a cat. But it is a trick you can use if you’re desperate but aren’t sure about a food product. (In all honesty though, liver pate really is just cat food lol. Looks like it, smells like it, so it must taste like it too)

Hey! Here it is! Happy 4th everybody! I just came home from a BBQ party with my parents and nephew and see this! Outstanding! I hope everybody has had a good time today. Anyway, that FSR you have there is *very* new. Impressive. They were selling cases of those recently on several places and I picked one up myself. The case I got is date coded 4011, so January 11, 2024. I have a bunch of older ones from 2019-2021 and the bag is different. Yours is sideways! Mine is tall and thin like a regular MRE bag, but bigger and clear plastic with the same label on it. That must be a new design. Also, I had no idea there were modular supplemental expansion bags for these! That is mad cool! Soldiers are often issued several of these during a major operation, before logistics is set up to resupply. They would take all the first few days of food with them. No telling how long before supply lines are set up. So, the reason there is only one coffee included is because *everything* in the meal is designed to be eaten on the go, right out of the package, and with no utensils and no heating required. You could even slurp down that chicken right out of the bag. Although many items are still better warm, and while sitting down on a tray! The coffee is NOT supposed to be a soldier's primary source of caffeine with these rations. That is what the caffeine gum is for! Easy to eat, pleasant to chew and made for on the go! Instead of having to stop and pour water in a container to make coffee, a soldier would just pop another piece of gum. Water would be in short supply, so drink mixes are not desirable except for electrolyte replenishment drinks. Besides, cold coffee is not ideal! I think the gum was my favorite component. It was really good gum actually! The pack I had was arctic mint. Normally I am not a fan of mint gum but the stuff in the FSR was fantastic. I find there is a TON of food included in these FSRs and it makes more than 3 whole meals, for me anyway. I must say that energy gel is the strangest component I think has ever been included in US MREs. I find that the food in these rations is basically as you described. Fine. Decent. Okay. But not great and a bit strange. I think the novelty of the components is what makes these fun and cool for me. Definitely good call saving the jalapeno cheese spread for the beef wraps. The strange sensation you got from those wraps I would describe as "waxy". It is some kind of shelf stable fat they use in those. I think a lot of these components suffer from being eaten room temperature and think that a few FRHs should be included with these. Maybe include some kind of thermal bag that you can use to carry an activated FRH in your pocket without getting burned. Buy yeah, these things aren't great. I just think they are really cool. They are also a lot cheaper than say, a Russian 24 hour MRE box, which has way better food and components in it, but is WAY more expensive! Anyway, thank you Jerms for another fantastic review! I can't wait to see what you upload next!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Even the not great stuff makes me hungry.... lol..... I really need to look for some surplus IMP's..... cheers man!

Awesome review Jerms

Happy 4th brother! I have a case of these too. I’ve eaten two of these on the road while driving. They aren’t to bad but nothing something I enjoyed or would seek out. Great review My case was affordable and I wouldn’t be complaining as much if I was starving and it was all I had tho haha

Nice

Great review! First Strike are always a mixed bag. Occasionally, you get a stand-out item, but most items are just full of sugar and not much else. They fill a hole when you're hungry.

13:11 always palette cleanse 😊,but dang those 3 meals got me hungry, happy 4th 🎉🎉

Great review! 😀

Where did you purchase this from?

Very nice. Thank you.

4 th of JULY Jerms Thanks see you again !!

Great review 🍱 those beef burritos reminded me of these chili cheese burritos I use to get for lunch in high school LOL

Happy 4th. Love the channel!!

Great review my friend. Haven't reviewed one of these. Interesting

First Strike Bars are good.. I dislike most everything Bridgeford.. mostly the nasty ass pizza. I wonder if our soldiers have figured out a way to heat things up. Thanks for the video brother

Very cool friend. Happy 4th! These meals are good for what they were designed for. I've only had one of these, and that was quite A few Yrs. ago. I never cared for the texture of energy gel, but it serves its purpose. I will have to try some of the newer Bills Brew. Like yourself, as A rule, I have not been impressed, LOL. Chicken looks awesome. Sorry it was chewy. I love Tabasco. Nice job on slicing the bread. I wouldn't have the patience, LOL. Sorry you didn't like the wrap too much. All mains and components looked good. Stay safe. Peace from Ky. John. P.S. , cool bloopers as always.

😂 i love the out takes mega f bombers 😄 i ate tons of mres when i was in thank god for hotsauce and the swaporama of trades some menus had some really gross mains and side items one mans trash is anothers treasure thankfully 🤢

Happy Independence Day

I don't like cinnamon but that cinnamon bun looked good

From 1981 (first MRE) to 1990 *ALL* MREs were cold, no FRH. And the FRH wasn't in all MREs until 1993. That's where the acronym MRE comes from, you could eat all the food items right out of the pack.

If the "fruit" drink isn't that good, you can coat the cranberries with the powder, apparently it tastes great; a balance of sweet and tart flavour. Maybe use half the drink powder.

HAPPY 4TH JERMS!! Another great review!!

I have not yet tried a new production FSR but woulkdliketo, maybe later in the year I'l get some

Great review! I love the FSRs. Thanks for sharing!!
