This is the gear I use while on outside reviews.
docs.google.co...
So many people here don't understand the purpose of his MRE. The MRE is meant for international use, for humanitarian disasters. They made it vegetarian so anybody from anywhere can eat it. Beans and potatoes are almost universal food.
Just as you mentioned it was designed to support the dietary needs of many different people. I think they did well for what they were aiming to do.
That and there's a minimum of allergens: no peanuts, wheat, milk. Toss in cultural/ religion neutral foods and you've got something that 99.9% of humanity can and will eat.
If they are making these vegetarian for a longer shelf life or something, or because it's the cheapest and easiest way to make a larger amount of meals, that's fine. But making all humanitarian MRE's vegetarian because a few people choose not to eat meat/dairy is just ridiculous. If your starving and need humanitarian food relief to begin with, you eat whatever you get! Your personal choice to be vegetarian should be the LAST thing on your mind when your starving and someone's helping you by giving you food.
@@bluegizmo1983 your comment is so ignorant that it is astounding.
@@bluegizmo1983 It's less about vegetarian/vegans and more about making meals that are okay for religious requirements, to wit, halal, kosher and the like. This way these can be used anywhere without having to modify them or produce others, simplifying the logistical chain.
These rations are $50 for a case of 10. That’s 10 days of meals in an emergency situation. These are great to stock up on. Cheers man 👍🏻
For sure not bad at all and last a good while.
Exactly what I started doing, got 3 months worth of them now. I have some other stuff from 4 Patriots, but they are not the best company to buy from. Also stocking up on dollar cans of soup and meat. Got about 30 gallons of water, too. Never know what is going to happen in the Golden Age of Biden!
I'm planning on using these and the sopacko MREs issued by FEMA for domestic humanitarian aid for my work lunches because they have so many calories for 5$
And imagine if you ration it
On sale for $45 for 20 meals right now
Quoting the actual specifications, the HDR is designed to "provide the widest possible acceptance from the variety of potential consumers with diverse religious and dietary restrictions from around the world". It contains no animal products, except a limited amount of dairy products, below the limit that would cause a problem for a person with lactose intolerance. Any alcohol or alcohol-based ingredients are also banned.
All rations also contain a fruit paste, or pudding, suitable for feeding to infants. In this particular case, it is the :"Smoothie".
These rations have been INCREDIBLY successful at achieving their objective, especially considering that one MRE feeds a person for one day, AND they only cost 20 PERCENT of that of a regular MRE to produce.
i noticed they also use sunflower butter so even people with peanut allergies are safe to eat the entire ration
What wonderful respect you showed this ration! Unlike another reviewer a few weeks ago. Thank you
Thank you I think this a good ration that can support many around the world.
Just came from that video and man, you aren't kidding. Glad to see a second opinion from someone who doesn't come off like a spoiled suburbanite, horrified at the idea of other cultures and tastes.
@@TekGriffon wow who was that? Never mind I think I saw it. It was 9 months ago when published. Apparently a LOT of people hated it. I did leave an educational comment. What his explanation was that they felt we should do better and could. We could- we could add tea or coffee, and an electrolyte drink, or a water packet, or juice. But otherwise they really didn't get the point of why they are that way. But he doesn't really seem to research much into the mre's anyway. They thought one was slimy- lol they should try Natto- A favorite common addition to a Japanese breakfast. Most Americans not only (I would be one no doubt) can't eat it, they throw up trying. Then maybe he'd understand.
Wish we could get back to a place where everyone was proud to be an American. I just thought the "Food gift from the people of the United States of America" was a really cool addition and it's the kind of thing as an American that makes me feel proud to be an American citizen.
Thanks for watching!
Honestly one of the coolest parts of this ration is the packaging.
Pride doesn't cure cancer
It’s the very definition of propaganda. Humanitarian aid is objectively good, but in the context of conflict zones where these are deployed it’s also the “ win hearts and minds” objective of helping people think you’re on their side (even when you are occupying their country). It’s not accidental. Good ration though.
These meals are intended for global distribution, due to religious, cultural, and dietary restrictions, the universal vegetarian meal can be deployed to all corners of the globe without issue.
I'm so glad you did the smoothie with some cookie. In my head I was screamin' "Crumble the cookie into the smoothie!" LOL. I bet the shortbread cookies that sometimes come with these would be good in the smoothie, as well. I don't think I would mix the cookies, butter and jam together, in any combination, unless I intended to crumble all the crackers up into the mains. They are needed for the crackers.
The peanut butter is out now because of allergy fears and the several various smoothies are for folks that may not have teeth to chew regular food. A group of refugees, for instance, could trade around firmer food in order to feed the elderly some nutrition. I think the thought that went into these HREs is pretty cool. Vegetarian, Kosher and other religious and dietary concerns. Ain't America a great, thoughtful and generous country!
They need to bring back the little pack of Lucky Strikes they put in C Rats.
Anything that boost morale is a bonus.
Dubs, review was a 180 from Nathans recent review. I love Dubs positive attitude about these things.
Thank you.
The Smoothies are not retorted they are Thermo Processed. Feel free to respond If you’re ever in the Atlanta or Evansville area I would love to give a tour of one of our facilities.
I would love to learn the process so a tour would be amazing. Thanks for watching.
Hello! Great video! I recently bought a case of these (10 pack) and the very first one I opened yesterday was that exact one you’re reviewing! So far I’ve eaten the beans and potatoes and the oatmeal cookie! Only 9 to go! Let’s hope they’re not all the same!
One of my buddies was a Loadmaster during several Humanitarian Operations. (before he retired from the USAF). His job was to load and verify food stuffs, medical supplies, water, housing materials (usually tents or portable buildings), etc. One of the things they had to be wary of was making sure that religious or cultural restrictions were not violated. Before we got involved in the Middle East we really didn't have a lot of Halal (Islamic) or vegan based foods. So we started making specific Halal based and Vegan products with the proper markings on the outside. Made life much easier for the Loadmaster. You don't want to accidently drop the wrong thing to someone. He was telling me one day that he got couple of pallets to drop off (landing, not parachuting) to refugee camps. Turns out the people there weren't Islamic, but an offshoot of a Coptic Religion (primarily vegans). They did not appreciate the Halal food and refused to eat it. They had to find something to make them happy and ended up stealing two pallets of Vegan food from a Marine base (didn't realize the Marines had a lot of vegans). Either way the Coptics loved the food and didn't complain after the resupply. I believe he is showing one of the new types of Vegan foods for refugees. I don't know if it had sunflower butter, I just know they enjoyed the food, even if it was MRE's. We're always discovering new types of religious/cultural restrictions we don't want to offend while trying to help them out.
Thank you for the information and some history of use. I think they did good creating a meal that can meet several requirements of dietary needs.
I can't imagine being a refugee and refusing food, because it wasn't consistent with their Veganism. Sounds like Survival of the Fittest taking over. But what do I know.
You would think starving people wouldn't be little bitches about free food.
Looks like I found myself a new MRE channel. In the words of Steve1989, Nice!
Hey thanks for checking it out!
Beans & Potatoes with a side of Beans and Baby Food. Yum. LOL.
Ya not a #1 choice for sure lol.
I’m staring at the smoothie packet from the HDR I opened yesterday. Not sure if I’m that brave yet! 😂
I'd easily take that ration hiking, a missive fan of everything on the menu. Just wish it had at least a Tea bag/coffee and a sachet of hot sauce for one or both of the bean meals, like a McIlhenny Tabasco.
I agree now knowing what comes in these. I would just add items to make it a pretty complete meal kit. Awesome suggestions.
As a vegetarian, that the best looking MRE I've seen. When are you going to show us the menu 1 package? Thanks.
It was very filling. I am hoping to find some more menus cause 1 and 2 were almost the same. I would love to see the other mains available. Thanks for watching.
As a fellow vegetarian I agree. I love beans and potatoes. Good carbs good protien in this mre.
Take fish oil before your brain shrivels away
HDRs are pretty good. Just two call outs, they're not a day's full of meals. Plus they're vegetarian. I still like em, I just add pepper and MSG to the entrees.
Agreed you can make them work but not the best.
a guy i know at this monthly flea market near me. he has army stuff and he has these but super new ones. exact packages etc. 5 dollars per one day pouch. i got 2 of them and if i go back next month i will buy the rest of them.
A metric ton of these things are on the market. I'm guessing these were contract overruns or the cases have at least 1 or 2 MREs that are defective in some way, like an overbaked cookie. The nice thing about these is that they are extremely easy on the stomach and you won't be shitting your brains out after eating it. They're cheap bottom dollar meals that are not intended for American taste buds, they are meant to be dropped into places like Afghanistan and poor African countries. They're pretty easy to supplement with a meat product if you take these on a camping trip or do milsim events.
Humanitarian MRE's should be given to the homeless and the elderly and disabled AMERICANS that can't afford food before anyone else.
Good afternoon my friend. Nicely done review. Very interesting that things would smell different being fresh once they are sealed. Great ration. Great idea on the smoothy- cookie- cobbler! Glad you got the "full glory" experience!
I want to try the cookie cobbler now. It was great just put on the cookie.
Great review! Thank you for the great trade and I’m glad you enjoyed this 2021 HDR. I was definitely surprised when I saw the menu change and all of the new components. The oatmeal cookie was my favorite part of the ration.
Thank you so much for letting me try one of these. It was an awesome experience. You always find the coolest items.
That had a bunch of things I had not seen before. That sunflower butter looks really interesting. Not sure why you know what baby food tastes like, but no judging.
Sunflower butter… its caled margarin
It was cool new adds the smoothie was like an updated zapplesauce. I would prefer the sunflower butter over normal peanut butter.
I was on the fence, but just ordered a case of Ebay for $35.50 to try it out.
I would add water to that smoothie. GOD BLESS
That would make it even better!
I've gotta look up or find out why we made 2021 HDRs.
I was also curious!
I came from Jinsangdos channel
Hello and thank you for stopping by.
Absolutely awsome review .I just bought case of them .Your channel is great.Thank you for all the great info
Hey thanks for watching and your support.
Mine had the black eyed peas and pop tarts. It was still very yummy.
The smoothie is designed to double as baby food.
Very cool even more options. Could be used for elders as well.
Potatoes always absorb the flavors of what it in. Definitely has calories. I would like to try one of those. I do have some of those cookies from Allmre's. The sunflower butter looks good. FYI you can make any nut butter by putting it in a blender and adding a little oil if needed. Guess I will be making some sunflower butter. I would like to see Cornbeef hash back and some kind of breakfast menu with eggs. Hope you feel better soon Dub C!
A Corn Beef hash Breakfast menu would be top notch. I have seen eggs cooked with FRH so anything is possible. Thanks for watching.
I asked my boyfriend if he's ever heard of a sweet potato grape smoothie and if it sounds good all he responded was "sounds real 2021" lol, he's got a point xD
Very true lol.
When hurricane ike hit Houston when I was younger “23 now” they gave out boxes of regular military MREs and if it weren’t for that I probably would have never seen or ate a mre.
My dad said if people are starving, some food can make them sick. This is meant to keep them alive until they can get help to them. It's not a meal replacement. Sunflower seeds are good for you.
This food is the "help" 😂
When I was a private in a Ranger battalion all I ever got was Beef Slice with Barbeque Sause. But, it came with a chocolate covered brownie, so I was fine with that.
Heck ya that brownie is good stuff!
It’s good they are labeled for one so I don’t have to share. 😂👍👍
Yup 1 person per day. It did have over 2000 cals.
I saw an old Brigade Quartermasters catalogue from the 1980s and they had a product called MR8 that was designed to be eaten by any person regardless of religious beliefs
Very cool!
That date is an inspection date. Manufactured date would be 3 years prior, as inspections are every 3 years. Kept in a cool, dry enviroment, they could last 10 years! A good review!
Thank you for info!
Wow ! What a surprise ! I was sure that the HDRs were discontinued around 2010-2012. Very interesting items in the ration, the sunflower butter is a total surprise. I have never seen it even in the supermarket. Thanks for a great review!
I also thought that they were gone after 2010. The sunflower butter was better then regular peanut butter and had a larger serving. Thanks for watching.
Oh wow! A fresh H.D.R.!! Nice!! I'd love to get me one of those!
This was fun to try and had some new elements I have not seen.
Outstanding Brother Dub, Oscar really hooked you up, I wonder if those were the Rations they were handing out, at the Worst Milatery Nitemare in are History, in Afghanistan, Being that fresh was Awesome, As always another Great. Review Brother,. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God Bless you 🙏 and your family and God Bless America 🇺🇸 and God Bless all of the Great Veterans and First Responders 🇺🇸 🙏
Awesome especially if you are starving
For sure hunger is the best spice. Thanks for watching.
so apparently they're so cheap because the menu is all vegetarian according to the Description on Sportsman Guide.
No flameless ration heater obviously or gum, tabasco, or TP.
Pretty much spot on.
Just got some dealing with hurricane Ian
Nice review. Those 2021 ones looks great. That sunflower butter and the smoothie are surprising components.
It was cool to try a super fresh one like this. The smoothie was really nice add as well as the sunflower butter.
Never had sunflower butter. But I bet your flavours would have been way different with everything warmed up. Funny to see your reaction eating a fresh MRE 😆
Good one Dub👍
These warmed up always increase flavor about 70-80% lol. It was fun trying a fresh ration lol.
Maybe, if you have access to clean water, the ration don't have water purification tablets, you can water the smoothie for better hydration.
Agreed that is a good idea. Thanks for watching.
These probably have less sodium and are probably healthier if someone needs to eat mre type food for extended periods of time. Thanks for sharing.
Great to have on hand just in case or if you want to go camping with a cold camp.
Thank you for doing this review. It sold me
Hey thanks for watching!
Nice to try something fresh for a change. Thank you for the awesome review, Warren. Stay safe and stay warm
It was very nice having a super fresh ration this time. Thanks for watching.
Nutritious and filled with calories to keep people going during a disaster. A days worth of food for 5 bucks!
That’s a really cool 24 hour pack, I certainly would be happy to have all of these items through the day. The sunflower seed butter really sounds like a great option. Nicely done Dub C
The sunflower butter was one of my favorite parts. It could beat out the peanut butter. Thanks for watching Murray.
Finally had time and had your video pop up in my feed. Very cool.
Sweet.
Guys just in case you missed it. Its fresh!
I love the metallic packaging of HDRs.
Me too it really just looks awesome!
The "smoothie" is supposed to double as baby food.
Copy that makes sense would be great for emergency.
It is good to remember that one requirement of this ration is that at least one of its components must be suitable for infants.
A good element for sure. Some even said it would work for elderly as well.
@@dubc3615 Yes. I checked the "regs" and it only requires that ONE of the components be suitable for infants, and I am sure that these would be suitable for the elderly or infirm as well.. That is why the "Smoothie" is present.
What a great review Dub. I'd like to get my hands on one as well.
It was nice to try a fresh MRE like this. Thanks for checking it out.
sunflower butter is expensive yum
It is but soo good!
360 calories from a smoothie? I just bought a box of these and i hope they’re the same quality as yours! Great video.
Thank you.
Wow, what a unique humanitarian ration..... The smoothie and sunflower butter. Beans are such a nice protein. Does the sunflower butter have protein like peanut butter does? Nice change up. I might be scared to try the moothie. Might make a good soup? Nice review sir. Have a great week. 🤠👋🏻🇨🇦
I think there are a few good ways to use the smoothie to change it up. A soup may be really good.
The smoothie is not only good for feeding babies, but there are a lot of elderly and disabled that cannot eat solid foods.
Very good point only adding to the versatility of this ration.
Great video friend. I had alot diff kinds of mre meals buy all kinds . I never tryed this type .migh have get a case
Thank you.
The HDRs are always very interesting and great video as always!
Thanks for checking it out.
Great review Dub. Somewhere I've seen one of these before. Can't remember who it was. This was very interesting. Beans, two months in a row is more than I would want. Much less two days, Lol. Maybe one of the manufacturers will bring back some of the older menus,🤞. Have a great day 👍
Beans would get old fast after having these 2 mains I was even getting tired of them and I like beans. Thanks for watching Tracy.
Very cool Dub. I never tried one of these rations, but, have seen reviews on many. It looks like, you enjoyed all, or, at least the majority. Great ration and review. Peace, John.
It was really good and could just be eaten with no heat or water so a nice quick easy meal. Thanks for checking it out.
I remember watching a documentary on UK television where army were supplying refugees or something like that and they were moaning it was meat and UK army man said...tough, no-one is a vegetarian in a disaster zone....
I can imagine hunger or starvation would make most less picky.
Got a case coming today from Amazon.:) 2022 inspection date.
Very nice!
That looked like a really great ration.
I can imagine anyone in an emergency situation really appreciating it.
A good amount of calories, and the sunflower butter was a really nice touch.
I hope you feel better soon, so you can get back to enjoying the outdoors :)
It was very hearty It would easily keep me full 1 day. I just would be wanting a steak badly after having to eat them.
I can't wait for the us govt to start handing this babies out for winter 2021 and the rest of the current adm... Nice hiss
I got to ask you would you rather have a humanitarian MRE for double the portions? or would you rather have the standard MRE because you like meat and potatoes?
On a side note, was the oatmeal cookie just a regular cookie or was it considered a protein cookie with whey protein?
If it were long term I would prefer the standard MRE. The HDR has a big problem with menu fatigue due to limited items.
Meal Rejected by Ethiopians?
I would start a riot if the US dropped one of these “ humanitarian meals” on me. We got full fresh 1200 cal mre’s after hurricanes
What would you do if nothing was dropped to you ?
The 1200 emergency are not bad but I would probably use both as a fill in anyhow. I may Do some trapping/fishing/hunting and have some meat with beans. Forge for some berries or just save for when you could not gather.
how long are these good for. thanks man
This video has convinced me to get a box to try. Will supplement great with my xmre boxes.
Very nice!
Dub C . I always enjoy your videos. They give me the munchies.
Thank you!
I've got one here, with the code 34 1137.
It also has the number *1* printed in four locations, on the front, which I assume means Menu 1.
Not glamorous but I would certainly eat this and enjoy it. Great job!
Awesome! It's really cool to see a HDR this new! Great review!
Thanks for checking it out.
I’ve never heard of sunflower butter. The ration would be great with coffee and tea; but some religions are anti caffeine. Thank you for sharing Dub C. Blessings 👍🏼
Coffee or tea would be great but you are right it is tuned for everyone. Thanks for watching David.
Meal prepping
Do you happen to know any difference between the yellow bag and then the salmon bag humanitarian MREs?
I know I know yellow ones were mistaken for cluster bomb that didn't blow up.
Aside from the packaging I am not sure how much was changed.
nice vid - that ration is really interesting, solid, efficient, well thought out and very flexible, somethings that could be used even by infants. I'm going to need to try sunflower butter, I'll bet they might be trying it because of the increase peanut allergies. thx much
I really enjoyed the sunflower butter and I think it could make for a good replacement for the peanut butter.
Definitely better than starving
Glad you where able to have one so fresh.
It was so nice for a change lol. Now I got to find a older one to try to get back on track.
These are some of my favorite mres
It was a really good set up. I would like to try the other mains from other menus. Thanks for watching.
Great review dub those look like great rations I also got one of those smoothie drinks in a ration recently and it did look just like baby food😂🐧🎩🔥🤘
It was pretty good it reminded me of a dessert or like the zapple sauce. It was fun to try.
Nice looking ration. Unfortunately I had a not so nice experience with sunflower butter , so I’ve hated the stuff ever since. Very intrigued by the smoothie tho.
The smoothie was very rich and flavorful. I think it would be a good add to normal maybe in place of the apple sauce.
I would love to see corn beef hash come back🔥
I agree that would be a great one. A breakfast version Corn beef hash man I would fry that up asap.
Thinking about them beans
2 packs of beans lots of nutrients but menu fatigue fast.
❤❤❤
Sunflower butter is more expensive then peanut butter one of grandson's has a peanut allergy so he gets sunflower butter and it's a couple bucks more expensive then peanut.
Copy thanks for info. I think it is a nice change up to the normal PB.
More potato dishes, maybe. And add come coffee, dammit!
Coffee would be a big plus.
The mains look gross to me! But if I was starving I'm sure I would like them just fine. Basically these could be dropped into a Muslim countries and they would have no outlawed foods.
Agreed they do not look the best and I would be worried about menu fatigue. But as you said hunger can make them just fine.
Why are we restarting production
Not sure but I have seen more of these on the market lately.
미국에는 정말 다양하 MRE가 존재하네요....군사강대국 답네요....우리한국군도 다양한 MRE가 필요할텐데.....
많은 버전이 있으며 현재 민간용으로 제작되어 다양한 유형을 시도할 수 있습니다. 그것은 매우 인기가되었습니다. 시청 해주셔서 감사합니다.
Great video dub it looked like a very filling meal hope u and your family are doing well take care brother
All is good thank you for asking. This meal filled me up and that is no easy task lol. The smoothie and sunflower butter were awesome sides.
The smoothie requires ice and/or chilled milk to make it right, I think.
Seeing more of these videos, I think they need a larger mess tray.
👋 Beans Beans good for your heart ❤️, the more you eat the more you ????? FRESH makes a difference 👍🏽 Thanks for the review ! Would like to have GUMBO........(seafood)
Gumbo! That would be great. I had the 2005 Jambalaya I bet that would be good made fresh also.
