Yes, yes! I can read in Russian :-). Hello, buddy, thank you for review, very cool. But you should heat the food can on the stove, not boil in the water. It's work also, but you spend more time for this. This main dish is not so good choice , the back-wheat with beef, much better. Cheers from Russia, buddy
Hey, thanks for watching.. heating them meals directly is always a pain haha, they burn on the bottom and need constant stirring.. plus I needed the water for the tea anyway, the main wasn't too bad.. just a little bland. Think I've got a Dutch menu up next :)
Outdoor Tactical, Privyet! I used to work with many Russians back around 2004-2010, great people! I will be getting a big Russian MRE sometime in the next month and will review it then. come take a look man :)
Great review! I just love the Russian rations especially the kasha. I especially like the fact that the ingredient list for the main meals are usually short and simple. Thanks for sharing!
Nice video, the chow seemed better than I had expected...nothing to discard. Always good to see out in the woods. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did watching. All the best.
Love the ration reviews. Your channel is one of the best, keep it up!! Would love for you to do a “ canteen cup Tuesday” or “ mess kit Wednesday” I think you could come up with some good stuff. Cheers
Great ration and review Mate. One of these days, I will get A smart phone to help me translate, LOL. I have not had that particular ration before, however, all other Russian rations are awesome. Good quality food. I really did not think I would like the vegetable caviar, but I love it! The apple jam, apple butter is AWESOME !!!!!! I wish I could find it here in the states. I love the kasha, kawa as well. Depending upon the country that makes it, some do need some additional seasoning, agreed. tea looked great. Glad you added all to the biscuit. Good way to do it Andy. Pick up, pack, leave nothing but footprints, well done sir. Great job as always friend, Peace, John.
I think the paper was for use as toilet paper, not as a napkin. In the old British army rat packs you used to get four squares not one (one up, one down and two to shine)
other Russian rations have zucchini caviar which is darker in color then the eggplant. I like both. glad you got the apple butter, that stuff is AWESOME !!!
Nice review Andy. Learned my lesson trying to boil spuds from cold water with fuel tablets, or meth burners. Buy tin spuds and just warm them up .lol. thanks for the video 😁
At 7.11. You let the hanging loop swing down next to the Hexi tab. If you had put a small stick across the top of your mess tin it would have supported it up level with the top. Keeping it cool enough to lift the tin up with.
Hi ya andy ive always enjoyed watching your vids and reviews,keep up the great work,as ive just found out it is alot of work editing my first ever vid the other day and put it on my channel,all the best and see you soon 🌲🌲🌲☘️👍
Oooooh! Eggplant caviar - sounds yummy. Grain and meat, good staples in cold weather. At least this kit wasn't 30 years old, looked to have an expiration date of 2018. Bon Appetit!
Thanks Andy. I live just outside Salisbury so a bit hesitant about eating anything from Russia! ;-) Seriously though, you're right, warm up the aubergine stuff and then I would have mixed it all in. Loving the fuel blocks with the striker :)
Not bad scoff is that Andy. The reason the meat is always on the bottom is that most Russian/Ukraine forces that i have worked with, turn their meal out onto a mess tin. The meat, therefore, is on top when they eat. Good drills mate. ATB Moose
Thats interesting! I always just assumed it was because it would be closer to the heat on the stove to ensure proper 'cooking' .. presentation is key.. the first bite is with the eyes haha ;)
It looks like hummus, which would be great in an MRE. I've definitely had worse and seen you try worse, too. If that little opener were metal, it could be used secondarily as an arrowhead. Even in plastic, it might be good for a shot or two. 🤔
this is true.. I like the French but not as much as most people seem to.. im quite partial to a good old US MRE.. Ive found the Canadian mains to be good but their sides are a little lacking
The egg plant stuff would be said like "Ikra" (eekra might be a better way to write it). The apple stuff is really nice. The Russian stuff can seem a bit dodgy and rough but it's really hearty stuff for cold weather
Hearty is a good description.. same for all the Eastern Europeans :) yeah, I liked the apple.. got some MRE spiced apples on my desk coincidentally haha.. may take them camping next week
@@KentSurvival yeah I like the spiced apple. To be honest go to winter ration to bring with me is the Lithuanian ones. Very simple and basic but works for me. If they weren't so expensive I'd get lots of MCWs.
The main was the eggplant and crackers. The grains were for the horse, fed from the nose bag supplied. At least that's what the writing said in the instructions... ;)
No Coffee? Again. I'm gonna have words with Putin at the next summit about the way his men are deprived of a decent drink. Good review mate, as ever. Not so sure about the food content, but when you opened them sachets, it reminded me to feed the cat.
Check Tom Outdoors Rucksack Andy... he's got your silver food tray :-) Nice to see you do an MRE review again mate... missed them. I can't remember if you did a Hungarian one? I'm part Hungarian so was going to try to find some online. Cheers mate looked OK the Ruskie MRE. Lee
Great vid and review Andy, if you don't mind me asking what does it cost (on average) for the ration packs you review, I'm interested in using them for wild camps, the less I understand the language on the packs the better ( I like the surprise factor and i'll eat anything).Cheers ATB.
So, the eggplant/vegetable puree was to provide salt and minerals in the meal. Useful in hot weather. I do not believe that Russ Russians often take milk or cream with their tea. Shorting the National Guardsman on Hexi-Tabs was too bad. I bet each trooper soon knew to carry extras! For my tastes, based on the items, appearance and your approval, this would be one of my preferred rations. I liked the meat being mixed through the barley...and I like steamed barley.
What most people don't like?! Using your boiled water twice. Conserving water is the best thing you can do in the field. Obvious they don't know too much when it comes into a situation of survival.
Hey, I get them all over the place.. eBay, amazon, surplus.. whoever I can find them haha.. I think I may have to start doing some of the same nations as others can be quite pricey
What's wrong with using the same water to make tea / coffee? I'm sure the people who moan about it would be grateful for it if they were really thirsty, silly buggers😂.
I suppose if you were really starving that it'd suffice. The main entree didn't so great, a bit dry. Was there something else that was suppose to go with it? Solid review tho Andy. Can't wait to see your new camp chap! Cheers bro.
Hey bud, yeah.. had better haha.. but also had worse I guess... Spain ;) I would definitely warm the 'caviar' and mix it in if I had it again. Start of the new camp build is wed!, thanks.. lot to do still haha
Yes, yes! I can read in Russian :-). Hello, buddy, thank you for review, very cool. But you should heat the food can on the stove, not boil in the water.

@@KentSurvival That 's great looking forward.
Great info Vasily!
Outdoor Tactical, Privyet! I used to work with many Russians back around 2004-2010, great people! I will be getting a big Russian MRE sometime in the next month and will review it then. come take a look man :)
I love these! I really feel the real life woods in my living room. Great filming for sure so clear.
Thank you Tina :)
I really enjoy these reviews I have started buying a few MRE ration packs after watching your videos for next year's wild camps with my son
I watch your channel when im having a hard time. Its almost like ASMR for me. Thanks for the great content. Keep up the MRE videos!
Очень хороший разбор. Приятно что ты разобрался в теме и верно применяешь составные части пайка. Good luck with your channel.
Great review! I just love the Russian rations especially the kasha. I especially like the fact that the ingredient list for the main meals are usually short and simple. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Carl :)
Looked decent lot of food there ! Good to see ya cheers
Thanks Tom :)
I didn’t know I needed these videos until my recommended list showed me the way. Subbed
Thank you very much and welcome to the channel
Love the ration reviews. Your channel is one of the best, keep it up!! Would love for you to do a “ canteen cup Tuesday” or “ mess kit Wednesday” I think you could come up with some good stuff. Cheers
Thank you very much indeed :) I have actually seen the canteen cup tuesday thing quite recently.. may have to do one :) thanks
That small stove is cute lol. Brilliant review, always find these interesting ^_^
Hey Krissy, they are good little emergency stoves, ive got a few hanging around from the French, Russian and polish rations haha
Great looking IRP and a great review Andy.
Id say ive had worse and better haha.. not too bad
How incredibly interesting to see the rations!
Well prepared
Really enjoy your videos here in Kentucky!
Caviar is called Ikra the other stuff that looks like wheat is actually buckwheat and is a staple in Russia called Gretchka with mixed meat
Great video again Andy you always come over like your a good mate on all you stuff, 👍
Thank you Mick :)

Nice review Andy, going to check out some of your others in this series, have a fantastic Christmas 🎄
Thanks Ray :) I don't like to repeat nations but im running out of affordable ones haha
I love these types of videos mate
Looking slick there Andy like the fresh look. Also i love these uploads love the mre reviews cheers
I think the paper was for use as toilet paper, not as a napkin. In the old British army rat packs you used to get four squares not one (one up, one down and two to shine)
love that egg plant caviar stuff. Nice review. Always interesting. Good health and stay safe.
Thank you :)
When the national guard gets better food than the goddamn army, you know something's fucked lmao
nice one mate, enjoyed the new style of filming too. the word moist does make me chuckle too lol.
certainly could have done with some moistness lol, cheers mate. don't often get to do these now
Great review, I actually subscribed to your channel because of the homemade fire starter video
Nice :) I keep meaning to re-visit that idea, was a while ago now.. thanks Lane
This doubles as an Aeroflot meal review. Cheers Andy 👍🏻
ah.. interesting, thanks :)
Nicely present video
Awesome gift
Nice review Andy! I’m liking that main but I’m not big on the egg plant caviar. Thanks brother!
I agree totally about the eggplant. Ugh...
Thanks :) I wouldn't buy it but id eat it if it was there haha.. roll on tailgating ;)
other Russian rations have zucchini caviar which is darker in color then the eggplant. I like both. glad you got the apple butter, that stuff is AWESOME !!!
interesting :) yeah, the apples were great.. I want more haha
Enjoyed the video. But, I have to say, the MRE made the "c-rats" we had in Vietnam look like a 5-star meal.🤣
Well cool, gotta go check out your other MRE vids now!
haha, thanks buddy :) Enjoy
Nice review Andy, certainly a tad different main meal etc, but obviously edible :) Thanks for sharing........Les
Thanks Les.. yeah, wasn't too bad.. defiantly had worse haha.... SPAIN
:)
Nice review Andy. Learned my lesson trying to boil spuds from cold water with fuel tablets, or meth burners. Buy tin spuds and just warm them up .lol. thanks for the video 😁
The fire dragon gel is even worse haha
again well presented

Thanks Jim.. Ill have a look.. you're not wrong about editing but its a part I quite enjoy :)
I would assume that Beef Paté would probably be frozen in the cold russian winter?
Hello Andy and happy new year.
Oooooh! Eggplant caviar - sounds yummy. Grain and meat, good staples in cold weather. At least this kit wasn't 30 years old, looked to have an expiration date of 2018. Bon Appetit!

haha, Thanks mate. yeah, could have done with some 'sauce'
don't be a coward, Johnny! the kit includes decontaminating tablets and a vitamin complex that grants immortality for 24 hours!
Great as always dude
Thanks James :)
12:47, oh ohh, someones been watching Steve's vids!
;)
NICE!
Большая коробка в основном малополезного фуфла. Фактически только консервы и галеты там имеют ценность, и то если вкусные, а это не всегда так.
Will sustain life in a Combat or survival situation 👌🏻
very true, and hearty too for the cold, just needs a little sauce to make it go down a bit easier haha
@@KentSurvival therefore you have vegetable sauce there.
Moreover, there is fat in fullday ration, that solve dry dishes trouble
Great review Andy. Love the Russian ration.
Great video mate
Thanks Jason
Great review Andy, Think i need to buy some
ATB Del
love your videos man! keep up, im hook
Cheers for sharing mate.
Those biccies were a challenge lol...my gums are still delicate 😀
😁 Вкусно? Обычно мы сразу на таганок ставим упаковку, в воду её мало кто погружает
Thanks Andy.
Alright so let's get this out onto a ..... ....um.. a stump.. Nice Mmm'kay.

If that little opener were metal, it could be used secondarily as an arrowhead. Even in plastic, it might be good for a shot or two. 🤔
Thats a good idea with the opener! and yes.. ive had worse...... SPAIN lol
As MRE’s go Andy, if your starving you’ll eat almost anything, not sure how many menus’s they have, French is definitely my favourite.
this is true.. I like the French but not as much as most people seem to.. im quite partial to a good old US MRE.. Ive found the Canadian mains to be good but their sides are a little lacking
The egg plant stuff would be said like "Ikra" (eekra might be a better way to write it).
The apple stuff is really nice. The Russian stuff can seem a bit dodgy and rough but it's really hearty stuff for cold weather
Hearty is a good description.. same for all the Eastern Europeans :) yeah, I liked the apple.. got some MRE spiced apples on my desk coincidentally haha.. may take them camping next week
@@KentSurvival yeah I like the spiced apple. To be honest go to winter ration to bring with me is the Lithuanian ones. Very simple and basic but works for me. If they weren't so expensive I'd get lots of MCWs.
The main was the eggplant and crackers.
The grains were for the horse, fed from the nose bag supplied.
At least that's what the writing said in the instructions... ;)
hahaha.. ah, I was wondering :p ive been craving carrots and sugar lumps since ;)
Apple jam sounds pretty good, I used to hate the grape jelly in the USA ration packs 1980's -1990's 😝
No Coffee? Again.
I'm gonna have words with Putin at the next summit about the way his men are deprived of a decent drink.
Good review mate, as ever. Not so sure about the food content, but when you opened them sachets, it reminded me to feed the cat.
but theres TEA! always happy to have tea haha.. they do look like cat food pouches haha, cheers mate
I just got a Russian 24hr from 2000 and it has the self lighting fuel tabs in it. I wonder how long those have been around?
Check Tom Outdoors Rucksack Andy... he's got your silver food tray :-) Nice to see you do an MRE review again mate... missed them. I can't remember if you did a Hungarian one? I'm part Hungarian so was going to try to find some online. Cheers mate looked OK the Ruskie MRE. Lee
Looking for the USA attempt, and the British arm ration. Would agree the Russian ration is good ! Cheers
You should do MRE reviews during overnight stays
you shaved it all off! I did too, like about 6wks ago...I had always had long hair, but MPB has kicked in & getting old balls, I suppose...LOL
Great vid and review Andy, if you don't mind me asking what does it cost (on average) for the ration packs you review, I'm interested in using them for wild camps, the less I understand the language on the packs the better ( I like the surprise factor and i'll eat anything).Cheers ATB.
I must admit i have never tried a MRE before.. do you have a favourite so far?
Hi Kev.. Im quite a fan of most of the US ones tbh, the British Yellow curry one is really good
So, the eggplant/vegetable puree was to provide salt and minerals in the meal. Useful in hot weather. I do not believe that Russ Russians often take milk or cream with their tea. Shorting the National Guardsman on Hexi-Tabs was too bad. I bet each trooper soon knew to carry extras! For my tastes, based on the items, appearance and your approval, this would be one of my preferred rations. I liked the meat being mixed through the barley...and I like steamed barley.
I’m just curious: you mentioned ‘cream’ and ‘tea’-is that a thing? Cream in tea sounds absolutely vile! 🤢
What most people don't like?! Using your boiled water twice. Conserving water is the best thing you can do in the field. Obvious they don't know too much when it comes into a situation of survival.
I always use the water I've used to heat the cans/trays, to make the tea/coffee.
Not using it, is wasting all the energy you used to heat the water.
РОССИЯ 🇷🇺 💪🇷🇺🤘 🇷🇺 ✊🇷🇺🤝 🇷🇺 💪🇷🇺 РОССИЯ
Where can you get all these amazing MRE's?
generally ebay is good :)
I think I would prefer the eggs bacon and of course ketchup!
Kindest Dave
Fun vid
Not too sure about them Andy,
Anyone else find his voice soothing ??
My kids love ration packs, I try to get them one each for Christmas. Can you tell me why they cost so much?
Nice video Andy , very interesting...
Thanks Robert
Hi Andy 😜 do you order those on-line. As i get mine from Surplus Arm store ? The Canadian ones are simaler to the British Army .
Hey, I get them all over the place.. eBay, amazon, surplus.. whoever I can find them haha.. I think I may have to start doing some of the same nations as others can be quite pricey
Cool Andy! Do you watch Steve1989MREinfo?
Be great if all fuel tabs had built in lighters! That emergency stove is great!
I Do Steven, him, stickyfingaz and Gundog are my favourites :)
I will have to take your word for it Mate. I don't have much of a taste for Russian Vittles... Excellent format and video and thanks for sharing!
What's wrong with using the same water to make tea / coffee? I'm sure the people who moan about it would be grateful for it if they were really thirsty, silly buggers😂.
Evening Andy, I've been meaning to get a ration pack, a British army one for starters any recommendations, assuming you've eaten from one? cheers
My favourite brit rat pack is the yellow chicken curry :)
Boil in the bag gets thumbs down
From Russia with love (and aubergines).
😂
Cool , where do you buy these? would be nice with some brown sauce lol :) best wishes
you mean ketchup surely ;) haha, I get them from all over.. this was eBay but amazon and surplus stores can be good to, thanks for watching Jackie
Did you go over it with a Geiger counter first ?
Ha Ha you are right!
That's the first thing you should do on Ukrainian MRE. You know, Chernobyl is in Ukraine...
You did not get it out on a tray tho
looked better than the Canadian ration ?!?
No ale was harmed in the making of this video. Pity.
In mother Russia, you no eat MRE, MRE eat you.
that beef barley meal looked like it could use some ketchup, great video as always :)
hahaha, hell yeah!, thanks John
Nice one Andy! But i don't think I'd put the fish eggs with the beef! It's all a matter of taste I suppose. Looking forward to the next one.
It's not really fish eggs. It's known as "vegetable caviar". Tastes like a bit like cold pasta sauce
@@TheConradChannel Thanks for that Conrad, just me showing my lack of knowledge. Cheers
That don't look like the greatest of rations, but one could survive eating it though.
Russian (RASHAN) national guard Ration (RASHAN)
Very delicious..../Thailand..
I suppose if you were really starving that it'd suffice. The main entree didn't so great, a bit dry. Was there something else that was suppose to go with it? Solid review tho Andy. Can't wait to see your new camp chap! Cheers bro.
Hey bud, yeah.. had better haha.. but also had worse I guess... Spain ;) I would definitely warm the 'caviar' and mix it in if I had it again. Start of the new camp build is wed!, thanks.. lot to do still haha
