Simple, basics tutorial. TH-cam needs this.
Makes a ton of sense to leave all the extra garbage behind! Ounces matter😂😂😂😂 Great series!
Cool video, I wish I could have done better with my C-rats back in the day, we tried to get rid of all the shit, but it was still bulky. This is helpful to hikers and campers, grunt tested and approved. Thanks as always brother!
Good stuff as always my Brother.
+IntenseAngler thanks boss

I have less than pleasant memories of MREs. I served when they first switched over to them. Back in the early 80s I had canned C Rations from WWII and Korea that were better than the early MREs by a long way. I had a friend recently give me one of the new ones. It was a lot better than back in the day. I might invest in a case. I prefer to heat over the coals of a fire or an alcohol stove. If I want hot food. Like a 20 degree day in the bush hot food is a blessing
i recommend keeping the creamer/whiter because ive heard how some sas blokes survived off their creamers for a week when they had no mres left
+Fantastic Apricots you can do what you want. Im showing you what we did. We carry lots of weight/ out in the field for long periods of time. Ounces = lbs and lbs = pain. We carry a lot more life sustaining equipment and don't fret about a sugar packet/creamer or two.
That's perfectly fine, weight is a killer. Search up 'SAS - Survival Secrets: Behind Enemy Lines Scenario 1 [Full Episode]' and skip to 7:10. No doubt an interesting documentary to watch as well! Keep up the good work bro!
I remember that. The way they field strip is to redistribute everything so it carries better. From memory, it was the recon patrol at Goose Green (Falklands) that ate the creamer. It should tell you something that the creamer was the last thing left. But, those SAS guys were on a patrol lasting weeks and on cold rations. For an outting of a few days, I like the way Black Scout's video shows MRE field stripping because I could keep track of it easier. Incidentally, my survival ration has a packet of milk biscuits because they're cheap, store well and have good energy density.
Burn that creamer with a lighter just long enough not to set it aflame. Peel and eat dat ranger cookie.
Another lesson learned while having my morning cup of coffee. Everyday I start with at least one of your videos. You are an EXCELLENT TEACHER!!!
Thank you for this....i am slowly watching all uour previous vids.
Never seen a vid like this before. Thanks for uploading this kind of info. I'm still struggling on how to backpack effectively, so this is useful stuff.
I was half-asleep when GySgt Lopez showed us this at OCS and I always regretted missing it. Thanks!
Nice. Short and to the point. Keep it up.
Thank you for the refresher! It's been too many years since I field stripped my MRE's.
Ahhh. Takes me back to the good ole Grunt days
No need to toss the coffee creamer packet. Us US Army Infantry guys made Ranger cookies with the sugar and creamer packets. Mix the sugar and creamer together in about a 3"x1½" piece of aluminum foil. Back in my days the creamer packet was lined with aluminum foil so we mixed the sugar in with the creamer then folded the opening to seal the packet. The creamer packets are currently lined with plastic so you need to make a cooking packet with aluminum foil about the size of the creamer packet.
Cook over a fire about a minute or so. The sugar and creamer melt. Will harden as it cools down. It's more like a toffee candy than a cookie.
I worked in the heavy mortar teams so we had vehicles to move that heavy mortar & shells, M-30 (four-deuce). Didn't have to carry stuff in a rucksack so much like you recon guys.
Glad I found your channel. Great information. Never thought about field stripping the ration.Makes very good sense. Very cool.
THanks!
Years ago We use to take the cardboard and place them between the magazines to reduce sound.
great video bro
I just wished the life-span was more than 5 years.
they last longer than that, if you keep in a cool place, i have used some that were close to ten years old, as long as the packages arent bloated or spoiled they should be great.........
Good to know. I've been buying Augason's Farms and Mountain House due to the 10 - 25 year lifespan.
Some sites have expanded their freeze dried food to 30 years instead of 25.
great video
Hi Jack
Great video and information. What brand of civilian MRE do you recommend? Thanks!
i love tootsie rolls.
Ok, question, if you're putting this in bob or get home, etc. does stripping affect the life of the meal? Will it decrease the life of the components enough to worry about? I know about food rotation.
I'm thinking of switching over to mre's instead of freeze dry. I like the weight of freeze dry but eating on the go is me. I do that everyday at work because time is money doing what I do. in a bug out or get home situation it's the same for me. I went with the tac bars in my b.o.b
great tip
Hard to find MREs that aren't already a couple years old. Any good sources you can share?
Can you use those heaters to stay warm?
where did you get your inspiration for your logo?
How long was you in the military
Jeez I've been looking for you for awhile ha jk subbed
when the mre is field striped do they expire sooner then the expiration date
We do the same type of MRE prep for our fire packs. My point being that this is not just for "commando's" or military.
tgafire87 He never said it was.
I always wondered how you guys were able to carry a substantial amount of food that you needed and all your gear/tools. And how preppers packed all those meals in their bag(s). Glad you made this...seems like common sense really hehe..too bad the Military hasn't took note of this yet to cut down on waste. Anyhow good info man, thanks!
+Survival of the Fittest thanks man. they have come out with some Assault style meals (eat on move) called first strike rations. But they aren't available to entire military. They are smaller and doesn't need heating
BlackScoutSurvival Ill check those out, thanks!
Hey man you should do a field test of your bug out bag or your go bag
+Aidan Santoro spent 8 years deploying to hostile lands. I believe I know what works and what doesn't.
He didnt say you dont know what works and what doesent he only suggested you do a video about your bug out bag you fucking plantpot, all your replies are so fucking hostile get off your high horse and just appreciate views and comments and dont be so passive aggressive to people, i am yet to find a response you have given to someone where you dont sound like a condescending tit
Remember this vividly. Weight was always a major consideration, especially if your rucksack was filled with Mission Essential equipment.
+Mark Tsunokai exactly
When I was in, a lot of marines use to rat f*** the whole box and leave the junk
haven't tried a US MRE. but Canadian IMPs are actually quite delicious my brother in law is in the military hes got cases of them i gotva few of them stashed away that i have in my BOB and vehicle kit.....if you ever get a chance try one of the canadian imp breakfasts. even the hamburger is actually decent.
+Brendan MacKinnon I'd love for you to send us one. We will do a vid on it.
didn't realise that there was so much packaging in one of those things
Why don’t you want the creamer? It is because of the nutrition or because it’s just trash?
Do they still make the ham omelette?
I need some MREs. Normal food always gets smashed or ruined in my pack when I go camping. Cool vid tho!
Are you a fan of placing the MRE contents into a zip lock bag?
Nice, but I would keep the salt. Will need it for a number of things.
I like the concept of this video, but I wouldn't have removed the (accessory?) packet items. I feel like they'd be easier to lose that way.
+Ellie you can do what you want. Im showing you what we did. We carry lots of weight/ out in the field for log periods of time. Ounces = lbs and lbs = pain. We carry a lot more life sustaining equipment and don't fret about a sugar packet or two.
BlackScoutSurvival It makes sense, thank you for the explanation.
actually, coffee creamer is flammable.....
Which MRE brand do you recommend for civilians?
botbazaar ...MREs. You don't need to be in the military to own these...
Yes but the one he's holding says Department of Defense, so I assume they aren't available to civilians. Is that incorrect?
botbazaar about a month too late, but you can get them on Amazon
How many calories in an MRE?
How many cals you think you burn out on a 24 hour patrol?
Greg Gallop...read the side.
Main entrees in pants pocket and condiments in shirt pocket. Walking meals on foot man. I thought the SF guys were getting a single handed MRE main entrees instead being spoon feed ones. Shoot and eat. Hot sauce and burritos great one hand eating on the fly.
Hey +BlackScoutSurvival and community.
What would you do in a case of 3rd world war?
Into the forest or stay at home?
Whats better?
Please help me
No one correct answer: think about your own situation. I would stay at home until home became compromised. Good shelter, more gear, good community (has come together in previous emergencies), more food storage, elderly parent at home, stable government with proven good emergency response (civil defence), local culture will delay NOLA/Katrina violence and my outdoor skills aren't _yet_ up to wilderness living. I'm not expecting an extended SHTF/permanent collapse scenario. #ymmv
Emmanuel Turner thanks for you answer!
I keep one of the outer packages for trash
M r e...lol.. meals rejected by Ethiopians do you remember that
He didn't show us how he ate it though 😢
why not keep some of the cardboard for tinder?
+Miguel Dubya why would I keep the worst possible tinder to use when wet and not just carry waterproof tinder in my survival kit. Come on. Use that noggin
If these are designed by the military, why would they make ehm so bulky?
because non military people design and order those things. even in the military you have desk warriors.
I guess because: people are going to field strip the MRE anyway and it's harder/slower to produce a varied menu in tight packaging. If MREs were only about nutrition then you'd probably get a brick of lifeboat ration. But, morale is an important part of the MRE too.
+Emmanuel Turner
Sounds legit :)
Pretty much anything the military issues is 20 percent heavier than it needs to be.
Shit has to survive being transported, airdropped, etc. Yeah the box around the entree seems like a waste but keeping stuff in boxes reduces the chances of a meal pouch bursting during rough handling or something.
Don't mean to sound rude brother but I think the "and" in your title for this video needs to be "an".
+Nicolas Pena got it. Thanks
How to get diarrhea guide.
Brajany Why would DOD release a military ration that would give you adverse effects? Who the fuck do you think actually makes these?
I had 2 MREs before, it was pretty "shitty".
