    I have eaten many many of those as a SERE instructor. The p38 was added so the can could be opened on the top that the key is on so it could be used to heat water in. If you tried to boil water using the key side as the bottom, the lead covering the hole where the key is attached could melt causing a small pinhole. The best way to eat the bar was to crush it up and boil it in water.

      That was the first thing I thought about, open the can from the bottom - to have a bigger vessel. Second was indeed to make a porridge from those bars.

    Had no idea Florida had a bunch of MRE and Ration reviewers living in it. Thought my dad and I were the only ones. Awesome.

    Love the older tin can rations, they are quickly becoming hard to get and some variations can fetch a lot of money, good review as always

      Ol' Mate Dropbear it was unbelievably well preserved. I’m still trying to find one of those vegemite pies. I’ve heard they are available in the United States, but no luck so far

    Wow. The condition of this ration is awesome. +RC Gusto i didn't get why you didn't open it from the bottom to keep the can for display purposes, if the can is in this almost flawless condition.

    This survived amazingly well, especially since it's about as old as I am. Haha
    I haven't had one of those US survival rations yet, definitely going to have to track one down!

    • @rcgusto2427

      @BTemple 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      RC Gusto Yeah I'm going to have to get one from Drew I'd say.
      I'd love to find one of the older ones with the wintergreen bar in it!

    To bad no coffee creamer and sugar in the packet. You could have made some porridge out of the granola or cornflake bars.

  • @rwideman71
    @rwideman71 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great vid, but I wish you would have used the p-38 and opened from the bottom and saved that pristine container.

    • @rcgusto2427
      @rcgusto2427  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      rwideman71 I thought about that, but ultimately decided on the key. I find it oddly satisfying

    I’m curious and this might be a stupid question, but the edges of the can ends look sharp. Are they?

    • @rcgusto2427
      @rcgusto2427  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bethany Kirk they are. I have cut myself on a can edge before.
