I feel like I'm cheating on Steve1989.
It gets easier over time 😅
Me too haha
Nice hiss
I keep thinking.... I hope Steve doesn’t catch me here.... and I keep wanting to know how “wholesome” it is and just how bold was the roast on that coffee??
I’ll let him know but before that let’s get this out on a tray...Nice!
When I was in the reserves I often found the 24 hour ration pack would actually last 48 hours, they put so much in them. Also everyone has something different in the ration so it was good to trade with your buddies.
That was the Law......Swap stuff for you favourites, especially if you had different Menus!
Being a British viewer and a tea lover never milk first and tea bag after or both together. Tea bag first, let it brew, then milk or creamer later. Maybe it's just me but I shouted nooo at the screen when you poured the water in haha. Nice review though as always
I used to make the effort into preparing the tea correctly but it’s too much work while filming.. if you watch my next video I promise to prepare the tea as directed
stickyfingaz745 hey Sticky, everybody makes it different mate it's just preference, you make it however you want. My mum taught me how to do it that way and it's just how I have done it for years. Thanks for the reply though and I am looking forward to your next video mate
Rich vs not thing if you are making tea in bone china you do it milk first. Normal people above. Plus a truly prorper cuppa would be loose tea in a tea ball made in a pot. Or being 'merican drink coffee and damn the limey lobsters & tea throw it in the ocean. (Grin)
Vaux_Wolf Creamer? In tea? No no no never nope
They don’t even like milky tea
If you are going to have British tea make it like we do. Tea bag - hot water - stir - take tea bag out - put creamer in - put sugar in - stir
I made a whole video about it
The reason UK Ration packs have Tabasco sauce is due to the first Gulf War. British troops would trade our vastly superior 24 hour ration packs with US troops for various supplies. Whilst UK troops were not impressed with the US MRE they did like the little bottles of Tabasco sauce that came with them. To that end they would ask for the Tabasco sauce bottles, this fed back to the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) and it was decided to include them in UK ration packs.
Yea your right there. When my baby bro was in the army. They dragged him round the army bases of UK.
Guaranteed there were American soilders who my Bro swapped rations with lol. They loved the tabasco sauce lol.
Not the first gulf. Tobacco bottles didn’t feature in the U.K. ration packs until 2009
@oldskool British.
The MOD added the Tabasco to the new style packs after the Gulf because of the experience of the guys whilst out there...which is basically what fedakin24 said
David Symonds there’s a big time frame and lots of other operations between 1991 and 2009. The Bosnia, Kosovo, the Second Gulf... that’s like saying they added them after the Falklands. Only a very basic person would that’s basically what he said
@@oldskoolbritish9659 and the 'older' ones I used, were shite! Same for the Worcester sauce, but damn, there was some good food there also.
British rations have always been my favorites in regards to quantity and quality (except for the Sticky rations, of course). And I always like how you take the time to look at the outside of all the rations that you review. Nice touch! Take it easy, bro
I find it very interesting how different countries package their military’s food, they’re all unique. Thanks for stopping by buddy 👍👍
I used to work with the Brits quite a bit in many different places, when we "scoffed" that's Brit speak for eat we never got these packs so MREs or local food or the DFAC was the deal. But man the Tea! I got schooled on the proper way to brew tea! Most guys did it by adding the tea bag first and very few took it white (added milk). We seemed to Brew up often it became kinda comforting no mater what shit state you where in we would have a cuppa. I was often the tea bitch since I was the token "Yank" on the team. Good times!
I get chewed in the comments every time I don’t “properly” prepare the tea. I get the occasional “in British and I don’t care how you prepare it”. There’s some people that take it too damn far and the tea has to be perfect
Tea bitch. That takes me back 🤣
Your tea might be shite but your British slang is perfect mate.
@@Sticky745 that's fighting talk, nothing is more important than making a proper cuppa
Tea NATO please
Good to see you back sir great review! The French might have it on taste but the British really seem to put a lot of thought into putting together a 24 hour ration. Enjoyed the review well done 👍🇬🇧
The best British Army ration packs were produced during the 1960-80s in the Cold War. The 24 hour Rat Pack COMPO.
British rations are 10/10 especially the beans and sausage one. My all time favorite.
That and bacon burgers.
This is an official Triple dog dare! Send in the contest review sheet! They are looking for feedback and you described your experience very well.
Love how you plunk your packages down, strong dude. Lol
Shows that the myth about bad British food is finally dying out! Good review
Is it? Oh, good. Now I can finally get a good Indian/Mexican/Chinese/Italian meal at last. :)
It's so weird.
Germany, Japan and the UK.
The countries so wrecked after ww2 we lived off of garbage food for decades because we were so poor (exaggeration for the lulz don't @ me)
Yet Germany and Japan never gained that reputation.
Admittedly Germany and Japan had the full power of the American economy thrown at them to rebuild.
I dunno whether it's because we weren't as wrecked or were too proud but it wasn't until we joined the EEC/EU that we started to really recover in the 70s and 80s.
Brother unreal how much you get in this 24 hour ration! Awesome review as always! Thanks!
I would say this pack is amazing BUT... needs: cheese and/or pate option, instant noodles and/or instant soup, and a fish option somewhere on it's menu range. The Spanish and Italians have sardines which are compact, delicious and is a delicious breakfast protein hit.
Cheese is in the rat packs already, some menus get peanut butter instead though.
Whenevr they did supply pate it was a greasy rancid lump, eaten with biscuit browns it was disgusting. No one would swap patet for anything.
Ow, ow, ow.
Friendly tip for you Americans:
Tea bag first. Then hot water. When the tea is brewed, remove the tea bag.
If you take sugar or honey, now is when you put it in.
Then, and only then, put in the milk. (Milk is an emulsifier and blocks the holes in the tea bag, so you end up with a pale, weak tasting tea).
It also cools the tea, so do that last to adjust to a safe temperature and to taste.
No different from instant coffee, really, just takes a bit longer.
Enjoy the tea.
Simples.
On the field it would be hard to follow all those steps
@@Sticky745 OK, well, here's some other stuff you might find useful too, then:
Pants first, then trousers, then shoes. :)
Clonedaddy stfu
You would die if you saw the way we make tea on the East Coast;) Four cups of water with 3 tea bags in microwave for 5 minutes. Let it cool down remove tea bags, add lots of ice and small amount of sugar. I usually order half sweet/unsweet tea in town because the South loves sweet tea and I prefer mildly sweet.
Tea wanker 😂
Bring back hexe blocks, babies heads and bacon grill.
U R on point with this review. I like the spork or Entrenching tool, type 2. I think it would be interesting if they put in some Brit. comfort food like: "Bangers & Mash, "Pie & Mash," or "Bubble & Squeak."
I remember the compo (compound) rations (UK) from twenty years ago.
Think they were emergency rations for if the mess could not bring up hot food, and the standard field rations were gone.
They were 24 hour, but in a much smaller box than you showed. I could get a pair of the compos with a pair of field rations with all my kit,
The compo rations were munch more energy dense, think fat and sugar, but similar components to what shown here. Sweets, 3 or4 energy bars *2. 2 teas, 2 coffees, but 8 of those sugar packets and 4 creamer. 2 cold drinks. Then 2 heated main meals and breakfast. But most of the bits were in mini cans. 3 foil packs of biscuits, 1 fruit 2 savory. These could be resealled. Zip lock. Plus cheese spread, + jam or marmalade + a pair of meat spreads. These packs had a micro can opener, 5 wind proof matches, these could be lit under water and burn for about 15 seconds. Then a pack of waxed matches. Mini Sachets of salt and pepper. Lastly water sterilisation tabs *4 plus loo roll and wet wipes and a fire starter block, you could quarter. Could start a wood fire with this easy peasy.
Cooking was normally done on a methanol stove kit, meth supplied separately.
At 8:20, a million British souls cried out in anguish, wailing “Nooooo, you never put the creamer or milk in with the teabag!” :D
No no, it's powder, that's acceptable. It's a temperature thing.
What we screamed at was making coffee and tea with the same temperature water (it was either too cold for tea or too hot for coffee)
Nice one Stickyfingaz! Kinda makes me wish I told a white lie on the postage form for my one. All the best for 2019 dude.
I would bet that Sticky did not expect the hornet's nest he would open up simply by making a cup of tea with a bloody British tea bag ! It is a serious matter though . Luv and kisses Sticky .
OAT BISCUITS!!!!
All it needs is a small tube of Condensed Milk
The oatmeal cookies were the best things in the packs, we use to mix up the diner in the bag and eat it out of them. They were shit but when you're hungry you will eat anything.
I believe you did a brilliant job with this video, the way you laid everything out for us to see, then you set up your breakfast, lunch and dinner and laid them out so we could see each item. You also explained everything so well and in detail so we knew what it was. You are easy to understand and did an excellent job! Thank you.
Wow... now that's a real 24h food portion.
"Alright, let's get this out onto a tray, ni-" oops, wrong channel.
@little silver you're right, I need more steve more vids😭😂
British tea in an American cup, basically how I was born
You really need the British Army Crusader mug (stainless steel) has a 1 litre water bottle to match.
They've improved since I left the service! Strange to see the "cheese, possessed" back (under a different name) though, given last time it was in it got removed for causing food poisoning.
That happened with the tubes of condensed milk as well.
Cheese possessed in a tin. Gak! I still remember the first and LAST time I ate it.
The best thing in the rat pack is and always has been the hot chocolate.
Wow they get water proof matches awesome
British Army Rations in the late 80's, my favourite was the canned bacon meat, out in the field with a campfire, big pot chuck in the bacon meat, a tin or two of baked beans and eat it using pitabreads as spoons, nothing better.
i think the late 90's - early 2000's british rations were probably the best , the beef stew & dumplings was restaurant quality in my opinion
I know it's a very old video, but you should try some British Primula cheese spread (turns out we invented cheese spread?! 😂) It's so damn good.
You can't import the refrigerated version for obvious reasons but there is a UHT version.
Just make sure you refrigerate it will first, it's nicer.
Put it on corn crackers
You did well ,better than a lot of mre review vids .enjoyed ur non colour slant dialogue. 100% informative yet no knee bending
What's a non colour slant dialogue?
I’ve heard stories of US troops putting that Tabasco sauce in their eyes to stay awake on guard duty.
Never heard of that but it could be a possibility
Lol....he said 2 tea bags " British boy's love tea bags"
The chewing gum is dental chewing gum - it's meant to assist with keeping clean teeth on ops rather than as a luxury item.
WOW. has he seriously left that teabag in the cup..?
You can tell it’s a British ration review by all the angry posts about tea 😂
New subscriber here. Great review, Always thought the Russian Mountain 24hr ration would be my go-to in terms of efficiency & amount of food but I think you just change my mind with this one.
Nice!😷👍
Damn those little tabasco bottles would be a game changer for me i can withstand evry food provided enough of the Tabasco original
Nice review subscribed from 🇬🇧
Could make that last a week
Let's get this out on a tray.. nice.
I remember the ration packs we used to get in the British forces back in the ‘80s, mostly tinned stuff, nice to eat but heavy to carry around, maybe one day we can see a video comparing the ration packs from then and now.
I have an early 2000 British ration.. I wish I could get my hands on an 80s rat pack
Love the channel by the way just subbed to it. I’m going to have to get one now to see what our lads and girls are eating. By the way your doing the tea wrong and its better to use semi skimmed or half fat milk so use actual milk I know its for the experience but a proper cuppa needs real milk, just fill the cup with boiling water with the tea bag in leave about half an inches worth of room for the milk let it sit for a minuet and use a tea spoon to squeeze the tea bag against the cup to get the most flavour out of it also before you put the hot water in put 2 teaspoons of sugar in the cup with the tea bag and after 1 min do the squeeze thing take out the tea bag and add milk serve and enjoy preferably with some chocolate hobnobs or digestives for dunking if you can get them over there. Enjoy, peace brother see you on the next one.
You could collect all the uneaten fruit and make hooch with it. Nice.
Good review. I was wondering what was going on with u. Hadn't heard from u in a while. I'm glad ur doing better. Btw, those typhon tea package remind me of something else. Lol. Those cheddar biscuits where something new to me.
Is this individual full day pack ration?
Do modern U.S MRE please.
I'll take the drink mixes, coffee, and cheese spread.
Yes mate
Great review Sticky. Going to have to get me one of them. Excellent job 👍
@@mikewilliamson1833 well thank you Mike. LOL
Where was the feedback sheet on the U.S. MREs when I was deployed? Vegetarian Lasagna? Vegetarian Omelette? Disgusting not even vegetarians want that crap. we always did a “random” pick but somehow the people who picked first always somehow got the beef stew or spaghetti or a little later in the deployment chicken fajitas and if you where on a detail somehow you always enjoyed the vegetarian meals.
I have noticed if he takes a second bite he always really likes it.
That looks really good. I have not tried that Chicken Curry yet. It looked fantastic.
ERM! Its not .like much of the modern rations they're made for convenience not taste..marianarra meatballs are passable.
Fruit cereal bars are OK too
ORPs have a much shorter shelf life than old type 24hr packs, designed for almost instant consuption and use a lot more regular shop bought stuff as well as ingredients from other nations ration suppliers. drinks changed from hot drink packs to cold drink packs because kids today don't stop and brew up as much as they should.
Watching an American make tea and coffee is almost insulting! 😂😂😂😂
Good to hear you! You’ve been MIA for quite a while now. Drop me a line when you can so I know you’re still breathing.
I’ll drop you a line on Facebook 👍 been extremely busy.. I’ve been very active on Instagram, check me out there @stickyfingaz_745
stickyfingaz745 you got it!
I like the Mexican Mre you showed last time.
«Unauthorised sale and/or purchase is prohibited... Good to know»
How did you Get IT then?😂😂
I got mine on ebay
Sometimes they fall off the back of trucks. You have to be really vigilant while driving around.
Bowser ATV and small engine repair and trail Please be carefull next time because AS writen on the box, selling or purchasing of this box is technically illegal.😫
It was sent to me...
ebays full of them so are Army surplus, no one ever bothers with all that crap.
It's weird to see someone using the drinks powders as intended, rather than holding on to them, then trying to eat an entire sachet in front of your mates to show off after a night in the NAAFI.
Every been dared to snort some of that stuff? It gets worse...
*_Stickyfingaz...just because we can._*
😅
I have 20 ration packs in my garage, 2 lots of 1 to 10 menus - you never know when the Zombie hoards will rise.
The powder cold drinks are not that good, the energy one is real bad. Overall the food is ok cold or hot.
Lastly as others have stated - Tea Bag goes it alone, then add hot water, then let it brew for awhile a few minutes, then add the milk.
Brother, I like you as much as Steve1989. Can't say that about others (sorry guys). Army-wise, I was at the end of C-rats and beginning of MRE's. I miss the compressed oatmeal bar (John Wayne bar).
Nice ..send this to Steve so he can get it out on a tray
This is my favorite rat pack I try to make sure I get this one when igo on exercise with cadets
Why did you put creamer in tea
What's the total weight of this ration pack? It also looks too bulky to carry around all day. Looks delicious though!
Have to call FOUL// since you failed to use the H2O purification tablets in your Mess Kit (beverages OR meals)
I love the video, I bought some recently, but you forgot to mention the cheese spread in the intro!
I wonder how the troops incorporate all these items into their carry on gear? Surely they don't romp or patrol with that bulky cardboard box?
Imagine having to fight your way up the Khyber Pass without a brew on board. The horror. The horror.
Wow, rations have come on so much since I was in during the 80's
a lot more sweets since 2006 but same stuff used to be two types of busciuts and a bar of old choclate that had gone white
Nice review and ration! What knife were you using?
Benchmade Axis Stryker 909 Tonto
How long is he going to show us the box
Great review Sticky
Thanks Marilyn, sorry I’ve been a stranger lately.... been busy with a lot of things. Been doing more outdoors stuff lately, my kids really enjoy it. If you have an Instagram you can look me up @stickyfingaz_745
who else remembers Screech
In the future we will select what countries military to join based on the menu options/quality . lol
The grapefruit drink looks like it is a Ruby Grapefruit and not the usual Yellow Grapefruit. It has a different flavour and a lot of people prefer it to the yellow as some people find the yellow too acidic. A well presented video. Thank you.
👍
Thanks for stopping by
Very nice review sticky. I don't understand what kind of hater would give this video a thumbs down 😂. See you next time bro 👊.
Tea needs to be prepared with boiling water
the reason for the gum is to “clean” your teeth morning and night as you don’t really get the chance to brush all that often - not really an odd reason
Is this for combat or for picnic??
Getting heartburn just lookin at that cereal bar..
Very good review, perfectly planned and set out! I think I‘ll stop shopping and just stock up with these!
👍
After a year is this still your favourite?
MI6 be like "who the bloody hell sold this?"
The bean and pasta salad is for dinner, the chicken curry is for tea, the biscuits and cereal bars are snacks for throughout the day. One of the meals has potato and beans for breakfast, some soldiers heat the cheese spread up and squeeze it in with their potato and beans ration
Even the French agree that The MOD Ration packs are the best.
always good to keep it simple
What happened to the range card ?
I'm still trying to work out what 'hooked up' means here.
I was in the British Army..1974 - 1998. The MRE’s (we borrowed this term from the Americans) of the 70’s really were poor; albeit nutritionally sound; same calories, but just terribly dull to eat. We seem to have turned the tables (sic) today though. Allegedly, our arctic ration packs too and the Norwegian ones are the best on the planet?……🇬🇧
Been trying to get my hands on one of these but can’t find any anywhere

If you say that something is good, do you eat all of it?
Hey , who is this imposter ?!? You’re not Steve! J/k nice video man .
I’ve been around longer than Steve lol.. thanks though
Damn that chicken yellow curry looked awesome. Exactly my type of food. That brownie thing was way different than the brownie i had out of the last orp i had.
