Russians many years ago does not grow zucchini and eat some this can only richest mans. Will do caviar from zucchini or eggplant and eat this with bread. Fish caviar can eat usually citizens
Don't worry about expiration dates. Canned food doesn't go bad unless it leaks or bulges. There were tests done on cans from WWII and even Civil War. After all those years they lost most of their nutrients but there was nothing poisonous in their content.
I love how legit your videos are, man. You don't skip your mistakes, your stuttering or talk like a 12 year old on a sugar rush. This feels like i'm spending time with some kind of MRE enthusiastic uncle or something. So cool.
+Your Rad Uncle Cal Thanks Cal, on one of gschultz or kiwi dudes vids someone refered to me as the :crazy uncle of the family" haha! Glad you enjoy the vids. Cheers
Hello! This diet is designed for a day for one person. do not need to mix products from different packages. in each box is an instruction that is recommended to eat and when. it is very nutritious. This I will say as a reserve lieutenant. Bon Appetit!))))
+gundog4314 On the contrary it was necessary to put. Blunt ends down. Before warming, you need to mix to the porridge from sticking. Thanks for the detailed comment. Interesting to see how the discussion of the Russian IRP in the eyes of foreigners;))
4:16 it's an instruction manual for MRE 6:22 it's a list of expiration dates for sugar, salt, and pepper. It says that they were made in september 2013, and will expire in september 2015.
IRPs are issued rarely, usually on travelling or on the field trainings that are too quick and intensive to establish a field kitchen, so these lots of fat are not an everyday ration
I got this MRE, menu 2. For food, it came with rice and beef porridge, that incredible beef stew, brain pate (!!!), spreadable cheese, apple butter spread, fruit bar, and crackers. Oh and "caviar of eggplant", whatever that is. I've only eaten the porridge, stew, pate, and cheese. The porridge mixed with the stew was a delight!
These are usually sold as VV MVD rations or MVD humanitarian rations. They're basically the same contents as the bigger Russian Army IRPs, but less of it. Sadly you don't get the speck and you get one less pate, two less fruit drinks, one less coffee and one less dessert. But they're a little lighter to carry in a go-bag and cheaper to get hold of, and still quite delicious.
+111mrhead and this is not the only option. only for their army of at least 12 and still have for aviation, sailors, lifeguards, police, tourism and so-called "emergency". most importantly, they water
Im Polish, but damn - i love our slavic food. It's tasty and lasts for really long time, not like western fast-foods or something. Belive me, nothing is better than good old meat with potatoes. Google "schabowy" to see what we eat.
I finally got mine three days ago! It took almost two months but it was worth it! Now I'm just trying to get everything translated. Its a good thing I'm taking Russian classes right now. Can't wait to order some more of these. I've also been thinking of getting some Chinese rations as well.
+gundog4314 Now that you do mention it, I think I will go ahead and get some Chinese rations. Would it be okay if you could message who you get them from?
i also recommend to try: ИРПБ(this combat diet), ИРП option number 7(it considered one most delucios), option for special forсes and option for airborn.
fenixwylde you need special stores. They called "voentorg"(военторг). They sell the goods for the needs russian army and navy, including those rations.
So it has the meals, but it seems to differ from many rations by not having a lot of in-between munchies. The stuff you'd pack in pockets to use as energy boosts during the day.
I bought one of these on EBay to try for myself, in the beginning you mention something about the bottom of the bag, that's actually a zip seal so you can put everything back into the bag to carry it for later. Pretty neat. I can't wait to try the food!
This beats any Obamalunch any day hands down, even if the irp has been carried in someone's ass for a decade. (Pulp fiction, my friend, Pulp fiction). This looks like some really decent food in comparison to what they get in the west. I can read most of what it says on the cans and this is pretty much typical Russian food. I have never sat down to a school Obamalunch, but just looking at them on the internet you can taste how crappy that stuff most be.
this one actually looks pretty tasty. i do soviet reenacting for ww2 and actually make a buckwheat porrage kasha for a demonstartion in the morning hours for when visitors first show up. i think i am going to see if i can find some different recipies after watching this.
Just got my russian IRP from ebay. I told my wife (she is from Russia, I`m not) that we`re gonna try some russian food this evening that she has probably never tastet before. At least not in this "configuration". Looking forward to test/taste it. :-) Thanks for a good video by the way.
We liked it both. :-) I`ve served in the military for several years, so I`m used to this type of food. But that pumpkin-looking stuff tasted terrible. Even the cat would`nt touch it.... Being a native russian, my wife could indeed testify that this is typical russian food. We got a different candy-bar, with orange. That was really good. :-)
I'm starting to see a trend with non-US MRE type rations, not alot seem to use the same water heat bag system we use, is there a reason for that? Is it better or worse in anyway?
+Chimera262 There are quite a few that use water reaction heaters. I think it all comes down to the bottom line, cost, ease of use, weight and mobility. After using FRH types, chemical fuel tabs, gel, butane, propane the best way I have found to consistently heat food and not burn anything is to use boiling water. Works for cans, foil tins, and flexible cans (retort pouches). Cheers!
The isotonic drink is intended to be like a thing herbalist could offer - phitotherapy is popular in Russia, but apparently not as popular than in my country, since anybody who has studied medicinal herbsknow that each of them must be prepared in specific way, none of which includes turning into soluble powder.
+Ieva Zagante Take e.g bilberry - berries that are gathered when they are ripe, but not yet soft, help against diaorrhea and gassiness, whether as very ripe, soft berries can helpa against constipation. Berries can be preserved first drying them in the sun, but then moving in a suitable device where temperature can be gradually increased to 60 centigrade.
+Ieva Zagante Or fruits of wild roses (I saw them on the packet of isotonic drink) - they must be diried within one day at temperature up to 90 cetigrade ( I mean Celsius scale), providing good ventilation, or else fruits must be spread in thin layer and kept at temperature of about 3 degrees Celsius - this way they will last up to 3 days.
Hey what's the difference between these packages and the standard MRE stuff that comes in plastic bags? Are these supposed to be consumed within a year or something? Does the Russian Army have US style MRE's?
This is a type of MRE produced in the Russian Federation. The packaging of the contents is different for just about every country. Having your stuff in a cardboard box helps to keep the contents from being damaged, unlike a plastic bag that MREs are stored in. As far as the consumption dates, the IRPs do tend not last as long as they don't have all the artificial additives and preservatives the west uses. Cheers
So I ended up ordering two of these today. I don't mind if it takes a while for them to get here, I am really looking forward to trying them. They look much more appealing than MREs. Its also gonna be interesting going through all the contents considering I'm starting to learn Russian at the moment.
+TheM4hero I got them on Ebay and depending on who you buy them from, they can be anywhere from $7.50-8.00 or more. Shipping is around $25.00. At least it was for me.
+Jaybird196 Yes. Stewed beef is beef in its own juice while beef stew is beef with vegetables, usually carrot, celery and/or potato traditionally with a tomato base or brown gravy.
This was a deal on ebay. Every once in awhile you can find a listing for 20 bucks including shipping. Took 2 months to get there but was still within date if i recall.
Welcome. Many people from Europe come to live and work in Russia, and suggests that in Russia more freedom and opportunities to realize themselves. Less listen to political propaganda of Russia (if we have the dictatorship, and so on) and feel free to come to visit, if you like - stay. But be prepared to teach the Russian language and Russian traditions.
Spasibo komrade. It says that i have both Russian and Isish blood from my fathers side. I wanna learn the Russian language but don't find any good teachings yet. I can only a few words yet but i will be better on it. I have my beliefs.
Ilya Smirnov Well, people who only know Russia from the TV. A great superpower where life is nice and easy. Though it's not true Russia where some people cannot even afford food and the corruption makes millions run from their own home...
Just arrived! I saw so many of these videos, I had to get one (actually two). Whoever said smell triggers memories the fastest was right. About 0.4 seconds after opening the meat/peas/carrots meal I was back in the 90's again.... Hah!
Cool video and I definitely want to get me some of those. As to the other IRP I wonder if it is based on the soviet rations. The reason I am curious is the KLMK pattern and the company logo on the package is nearly identical to a CCCP hallmark. I am familiar with the design because I collect soviet film cameras and I have seen a near identical logo on most of them. So I wonder if the company is looking to cash in on a little soviet nostalgia or perhaps they are an older company with connections to the old soviet system. Just an interesting observation.
+Red River Scout Good stuff. The seal of quality used to actually mean something back in the 50's to 70's, but after that, they just started putting it on everything.
That is definitely for a whole day, the Kasha is for breakfast and I think the eggplant is lunch and then there is the can for dinner don't remember what that was and the other stuff is for in between along with the tea and instant coffee. I don't think it is enough to pig out on over a single day, but it is enough to keep you on your feet.
You said save it for a rainy day , rainy days are boring , so you would usually do something fun inside , I know you do vids on them so you like them but are they fun for you to find out what's inside and or fascinating?
+bigGisnumber1 They actually are. There is always something different to try. I am really wanting to try the salted fish they have in their rations but haven't been lucky enough to get my hands on one yet
+Евгений Владимирович Wow! That's a great price. Wish they were that cheap to get here. I hope you enjoy it my friend. Let me know how you liked it. Cheers
I ordered one of these and my family is really against me eating it since it comes from Russia and they don't have stuck food safety laws and thinks that I will be poisoned or get an illness (something that I really don't think would happen) I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge on the mre so I can help put my family at ease thank you.
I've eaten several and have been fine, in fact I really enjoy them. These are produced and packaged at a co packing facility just like we have here in the states. Like most vendors seeking a lucrative contract with the government, if they made an inferior or unsafe product that got people sick they'd be out of business. My other half shares your families concern about "foreign stuff" but when I remind her Tuna she's eating is a product of China she shuts up. Cheers Jon
gundog4314 Thank you so much for the reply and your help i really appreciate it. This should put my family at ease now haha. and i didnt know that about tuna now i can use that against them every time. but ya man your videos got me super interested in MRE's i may have gotten my brother into it to hes going to order one from germany now well anyway thank you so much i appreciate it.
Remember, you're feeding soldiers here. You gotta make a safe to eat product. The last thing you want is soldiers getting sick and having to go to the latrine all the time.
+gundog4314 where do you obtain these food rations, do people send them to you or is there a place that you can buy them from? I just really want to try some from different countries.
I'm I the only one that looks at Russian rations with this type of bag, and realises that there is a ziplock seal on the bottom? As soon as I got mine (packed in 2015, expires in 2017), I looked at the bottom and saw that that was the end to open it at, as it has a ziplock seal.
The comments You mentioned that there is no such thing as rice porridge with beef are correct. Kaša is kaša, rice is rice. Kaša is made of barley or buckwheat.
+gundog4314 Thank you! What should i look out for to be sure that its a genuine MRE if I order one from a different country or of another country's military?
+Klaus Maus As for a picture, make sure they are within the expiration date and that the seller has a return policy for unopened products they sell. If you make from a seller on ebay with "no returns" they can send you any old thing.
I Am The Law well i got 10 frends that is born in russia and is still lives in russia and they dont think thoes in russia jokes are funny neither does i
Hi :) I love the Norwegian liver paste... you know, that with the happy child outside ;) if you use good bread... good butter, then some majo... and some picles... or something else ... some black pepper... then you have luxus food :D Best regards from Norway.
I would bet that alot of these rations , the soupy ones might well be done by pressure cooker, its fast and cooks easy if you know what your doing , anyone know?
+Merle Morrison Yeah, from talking to some Russian Soldiers they say it all depends on the weather. If it's cold they use hot water. If it's hot just enough warm water to dissolve the sugar then the rest cool or as cool as they got. I recall canteen water not being too cool lol
You can buy ones that come in boxes instead of bags for about ~$15 plus shipping. Not sure if they're issued or commercial but the contents are very similar to this
+stickyfingaz745 I know greyshop.ru has them and shipping from them isn't too bad, its actually quite good compared to my other experiences with getting stuff from Russia.
+stickyfingaz745 Check ebay every once in awhile and you can get a good deal. In fact this very IRP was listed at $24.00 including shipping. I even contacted the seller to make sure they didn't have a typo on their post. Said they were about to expire so he had to dump them
15:23 "ОВОЩНАЯ ИКРА" - (VEGETABLE CAVIAR) mashed zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers and other vegetables. Served as a salad or side dish
осуждение Google
Я один русский?
poor man's caviar. very delicious
Thanks, man. I got the same stuff but had no idea what "caviar of eggplant" meant.
Russians many years ago does not grow zucchini and eat some this can only richest mans. Will do caviar from zucchini or eggplant and eat this with bread.
Fish caviar can eat usually citizens
In 1985 in Kaliningrad (former Koenigsberg), we dug out zinc box (german army) with 4 banks canned vegetables made in 1944. It was tasty.
Don't worry about expiration dates. Canned food doesn't go bad unless it leaks or bulges.
There were tests done on cans from WWII and even Civil War. After all those years they lost most of their nutrients but there was nothing poisonous in their content.
I remember the tests on the civil food & was amazed that it was still edible.
Steve1989 eats plenty of 100 yr old food

+Your Rad Uncle Cal Thanks Cal, on one of gschultz or kiwi dudes vids someone refered to me as the :crazy uncle of the family" haha! Glad you enjoy the vids. Cheers
Agreed! Love the authenticity. Maybe split the 24hr rations up over a day like Steve does, but otherwise awesome!

You just tell those doubters to look up beef congee! It's a staple in many countries, and can be made with fish or chicken as well. Yum!
These are usually sold as VV MVD rations or MVD humanitarian rations. They're basically the same contents as the bigger Russian Army IRPs, but less of it. Sadly you don't get the speck and you get one less pate, two less fruit drinks, one less coffee and one less dessert.

Looks like Russian rations are getting good.

Sure is entertaining to watch do you collect these or ?.
I bought one of these on EBay to try for myself, in the beginning you mention something about the bottom of the bag, that's actually a zip seal so you can put everything back into the bag to carry it for later. Pretty neat. I can't wait to try the food!
I ended up cutting the bag right below it so I could see what it was... I guess I ruined the resealable bag feature, lol.
Kiwi Dude is a wizzard with these kind of stoves! ;)
I''ve had school lunch and this actually looks like it might taste better.
lol

+Kyle Starr Just make sure the are in date. These aren't full of preservatives like western stuff. Cheers
When warming those meat and all other stuff you should open it and mix it (Rice and meat with vegetables) that would be how it supposed to be.
Another great review. I was in a Moroccan restaurant that had an eggplant salad similar to the one in your IRP. BTW, how's the shoulder?
Some of that liver pate would shut your dog up.
i think this food is more humanized than the us version
pierre jean U.S. version is designed to last longer.
@@Rain-tt9dr Not necessarily, I'd much rather trust canned goods over bags lmao.
oh yeah, as a heads up there's a zipper at the bottom of the outer pouch. helps keep it together through the day.

what about the vitamin tablet
i just ordered the same irp today, cant wait to try it
at 6:38 is the thing you could use to open all plastic packs.
Adjust ordered one. I should have it in about a month.
How are the cases of MRE's you can buy? Are they worth the cost?
do you finish eating these after the video, or do you just throw it out?
Hey what's the difference between these packages and the standard MRE stuff that comes in plastic bags? Are these supposed to be consumed within a year or something? Does the Russian Army have US style MRE's?

Hey Gundog, do you know how Kiwi Dude is doing? haven't seen anything from him in quite a while.
What's difference between the stewed beef, and the beef stew? Btw, I share your query about the real fruit juice thing :) .
Beef stew is beef on stew and stewed beef is beef that is stewed
Huey Freeman So, one is boiled beef, and the other is boiled beef with some sort of vegetable soup accompanying it?
+Jaybird196
Yes. Stewed beef is beef in its own juice while beef stew is beef with vegetables, usually carrot, celery and/or potato traditionally with a tomato base or brown gravy.

2:44 why did you just slap the camera?
Is this ration for one meal or for a whole day?? Just asking, because I wouldn't be able to eat all of this in a single meal..
+Mélanie Roussel A whole day, I think the only people who could eat this in one sitting are competitive eaters haha!
That is definitely for a whole day, the Kasha is for breakfast and I think the eggplant is lunch and then there is the can for dinner don't remember what that was and the other stuff is for in between along with the tea and instant coffee. I don't think it is enough to pig out on over a single day, but it is enough to keep you on your feet.
It is just for one day) every day in our army you are given such boxes)
You said save it for a rainy day , rainy days are boring , so you would usually do something fun inside , I know you do vids on them so you like them but are they fun for you to find out what's inside and or fascinating?
+bigGisnumber1 They actually are. There is always something different to try. I am really wanting to try the salted fish they have in their rations but haven't been lucky enough to get my hands on one yet
+gundog4314 With salted fish IRP 3 years there is no.
+Андрей Степанищев Well perhaps someday when I visit your country I'll try it first hand. Cheers
Thank you for the good review. I even wanted to buy a set))). Now in Russia its prise is 5.10 dollars. I will buy it tomorrow.
+Евгений Владимирович Wow! That's a great price. Wish they were that cheap to get here. I hope you enjoy it my friend. Let me know how you liked it. Cheers
how many languages can you speak/read?
The kasha looked like brains!
Delicious zombie brains LOL! Cheers
Great review, the food is looking pretty tasty. Thought it funny the wife took the alcohol:)
This its a 1 day ration?, so Everyday you getting 1 of these box, not bad at all
I just ate the porridge for breakfast. I didn’t get any powdered milk or purification tabs. Not bad! Now, let’s take it over to lunch!
That Apple jam looks a lot like apple butter, now I'm craving it lol
I ordered one of these and my family is really against me eating it since it comes from Russia and they don't have stuck food safety
laws and thinks that I will be poisoned or get an illness (something that I really don't think would happen) I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge on the mre so I can help put my family at ease thank you.
I've eaten several and have been fine, in fact I really enjoy them. These are produced and packaged at a co packing facility just like we have here in the states. Like most vendors seeking a lucrative contract with the government, if they made an inferior or unsafe product that got people sick they'd be out of business. My other half shares your families concern about "foreign stuff" but when I remind her Tuna she's eating is a product of China she shuts up. Cheers Jon
gundog4314 Thank you so much for the reply and your help i really appreciate it. This should put my family at ease now haha. and i didnt know that about tuna now i can use that against them every time. but ya man your videos got me super interested in MRE's i may have gotten my brother into it to hes going to order one from germany now well anyway thank you so much i appreciate it.
Awesome Jon let me know how you like them...and heat them up! LOL
Remember, you're feeding soldiers here. You gotta make a safe to eat product. The last thing you want is soldiers getting sick and having to go to the latrine all the time.
+gundog4314 where do you obtain these food rations, do people send them to you or is there a place that you can buy them from? I just really want to try some from different countries.
is that just one meal or all day
all day
Kommrade: why does "milk" have gray-green colour? Also, why didn't you take "vitamin" pill? ~ Boris
I'm I the only one that looks at Russian rations with this type of bag, and realises that there is a ziplock seal on the bottom? As soon as I got mine (packed in 2015, expires in 2017), I looked at the bottom and saw that that was the end to open it at, as it has a ziplock seal.
what's anthrax? I googled it and I so something on the skin but nothing like those crumbs .
It was a joke Aiyanna, just a joke. Cheers
gundog4314 lol I was about to return my order and they just shipped it.
The wife told me to inform you to always heat these up and pour the fat out of the cans. She says that's the way they eat it in Izhevk
+Dude_piston88 I'm living in Izhevsk too and your wife talking true things. Sorry for my english.
The comments You mentioned that there is no such thing as rice porridge with beef are correct. Kaša is kaša, rice is rice. Kaša is made of barley or buckwheat.
where do you get your MREs, Gundog?
+Klaus Maus When I first started ebay was my main source. Now I mostly do trades or have great viewers donate a ration for a review. Cheers Klaus
+gundog4314 Thank you! What should i look out for to be sure that its a genuine MRE if I order one from a different country or of another country's military?
+Klaus Maus As for a picture, make sure they are within the expiration date and that the seller has a return policy for unopened products they sell. If you make from a seller on ebay with "no returns" they can send you any old thing.
is it just me or do all euro rations have pretty much the same things for stables, as for the heater, give me a trangia anyday of the week!
In Russia meal eats you.
yea yea

I Am The Law well i got 10 frends that is born in russia and is still lives in russia and they dont think thoes in russia jokes are funny neither does i
ware do you get the food from
Michelle Marshall he got it from eBay
Didnt setup the heater right
Yeah, kinda got it upside down...think I did that twice HAHA! Cheers!
Where do you go to find these?
+ewwang2 You can find them for a decent price on ebay or an online Russian surplus store. You can trade for them on mreinfo.com too. Cheers
Where can you but the IRPS?
+Major You can get them on ebay or direct from stores in Russia or Europe. Cheers
+gundog4314 thank you
just ordered my first one russian mre
James Derynck how was it?
very good goal is to try other country's
Hi :)
I love the Norwegian liver paste... you know, that with the happy child outside ;) if you use good bread... good butter, then some majo... and some picles... or something else ... some black pepper... then you have luxus food :D
Best regards from Norway.
:)
I would bet that alot of these rations , the soupy ones might well be done by pressure cooker, its fast and cooks easy if you know what your doing , anyone know?
Sniper on mreinfo might know he is one of the IRP experts. I just eat them HAHA!
Zip lock on bottom to store and reuse. Don't cut top
maybe just put enough hot water to dissolve the chunks - then top it off with cold water?
+Merle Morrison Yeah, from talking to some Russian Soldiers they say it all depends on the weather. If it's cold they use hot water. If it's hot just enough warm water to dissolve the sugar then the rest cool or as cool as they got. I recall canteen water not being too cool lol
+gundog4314 but, but, but - you mean it gets cold in Russia? :)
God you are such a better reviewer than that guy Aldiun Hearth
+:I We all have our audiences we appeal to. He's really a nice guy. Cheers
And his price ?..
I've been wanting one of these.. But they're bloody expensive!
You can buy ones that come in boxes instead of bags for about ~$15 plus shipping. Not sure if they're issued or commercial but the contents are very similar to this
+Jacgren do they have them on eBay? Can you direct me to them?! Thanks!
+stickyfingaz745 I know greyshop.ru has them and shipping from them isn't too bad, its actually quite good compared to my other experiences with getting stuff from Russia.
+stickyfingaz745 Check ebay every once in awhile and you can get a good deal. In fact this very IRP was listed at $24.00 including shipping. I even contacted the seller to make sure they didn't have a typo on their post. Said they were about to expire so he had to dump them
+gundog4314 I tried greyshop.ru but the site was or is down. Hey Gun Dog, I found a decent one for $33. I can't wait to try it!
I have never seen an irp like that
Why all food is cold?
The mains were heated in hot water. Only the eggplant thing was room temp. Cheers
Minsk? Minsk it is nor Russia anymore, now it is Belorussia(lol, its translating like "White Russia").
+Chu Taylor OR MOSCOW
Is this for 24 hrs
Jkgaming ' yes.
Why u sound different when u go outside the house?
