- This review is of a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF); French: Forces Armées Canadiennes (FAC) Light Meal Combat Pack Menu #1 Beef Jerky. It was packaged in 2013. It is a supplemental pack to the Individual Meal Pack (IMP). It adds approximately 1,000 additional calories. It is very similar to the US Military M.O.R.E. Ration (Modular Operational Ration Enhancement). Link to that review: • MRE Review: Modular Op...

As a former Canadian Forces Infantry soldier, I REALLY would have like these back in the early 2000's I'm just happy they have it now for the hard working boys & girls in the field. Excellent review!
This light meal pack is a great example of outdoor activities energy boost food pack that you can easily tucking in your backpack...
And the best thing is you can easily assemble a copy of this light meal pack with supermarket items!! :)
awesome review, looks like a tray full of work snacks for me LOL
+goodi2shooz Cheers Jane
Great stuff there Gundog! I hadn't even heard of these LMCs before. You learn something new every day! Oh, and I like how the Canadians put the year on their IMPS and LMCs. It's so much easier for someone not familiar with date codes to understand what "2013" means rather than something like "3179".
+gschultz9 Yeah, I appreciate their date codes to, not as much as a mystery as the US stuff.
Fudgee-os are like oreos but with a chocolate cream inside. You eat them pretty much any way you want, though milk is really nice with cookies in general.
I think I've had every one of those items in my school lunch or school canteen at some point as a kid, lol. Granted, the Soldier Fuel bar was substituted for a very similar "Eat More" bar :P
The soldier fuel looks very much like a Power Bar, backpackers and hikers eat them because it has lots of protein and slow release sugars so you get a slow burn from them. One of those bars and that lemon drink will keep you going for quite awhile. The Sunripe fruit bar is also a Canadian product that is made in Kelowna, BC it started off as fruit leather (dehydrated fruit puree) and has ended up being those fruit bars, they are available in Canadian grocery stores.
Heh, take out the Solder fuel, and this looks like my packed lunch from Elementary school.
Great review, GD! I've never even so much as heard of these rations before, very very neat!
Spot on about the comparison to the M.O.R.E. bit for our troops... it's the first thing I thought of as well - this one looks a bit tastier, though!
Gundog, greatly appreciate the info. Ever since the multiple power outages in MoCo in the past few years have always kept MREs around since then. Looking forward to trying the B Menus in this case.
+Jim Smith Smart man, I'd keep a couple a gallons or cases of water around too and a generator! Cheers!
Most of these i can buy around the corner, they're all quite good. The fruit source are really sticky and acidic though. All of the generic packages were labeled 'made in Mississauga' which is jam right next to Toronto. Hard to believe they're so close to the US border, hour and a half from buffalo. Awesome reviews thanks!
We have those fruit bars in the supermarkets. I've never seen one that big. Otherwise, any of that other stuff is just junk food for fast calories. Looks tasty.
USA Meals Ready to Eat (MRE), Light Brown Wraper, are VERY tastey ! Have used them as only thing to eat. DARN GLAD I had them !
you nailed another one - well done sir
I have never seen A Canadian supplement like this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have seen maybe 1-2 reviews on MORE rations. Great job, and informative friend ! Peace, John ,Magnum.
That Soldier Fuel bar looks and sounds like it would be smilar to a popular candy bar here i Canada called "Eat-More".
Great vid. You, Gshultz, and Kiwi are my favourite mre reviewers.
If you haven't checked her out already, Emmymadeinjapan has also done some MRE videos. She does other food tastings too but I think you would like her MRE videos :)
Shapoot I'll check her out
She also happens to be fricken adorable too.
It the early days of designing ration packs , there was a pressure to come up with a candy that would not melt. So this the invention of M&M's that could take the heat with the candy shell.
I wish more places carried these. The MRE's. are great for a couple of days afield, but these light meal packs would do for when you are able to have a breakfast and are going to be back by dinner. Will give you something for the middle of the day, but not so much you will have too much either in your pack or belly to slow you up.
those fruit bars are available in grocery stores here in canada, really good stuff to have around for quick snacks.
I'm very disappointed that it's m&m's and not Smarties
They used to be, then they also threw in some Export A smokes in the meal pack, lol.
Just watching this made me not poo for a week.
Thanks.
+Chip B k.
I don't think I would have been brave enough to save the cranberries for last!
I don't know how many soldier fuel bars you've had, but the chocolate ones are sooooooooooooooo good
Nice, unusual ration. You've probably eaten all of the world's MRE :). I haven't seen this kind of supplementary ration before
+Delicious There's two whole continents I'm still missing out on. Africa and South America...well and Central America too. I did have my friend Mariano send me a few components from Argentina but not the complete ration. Someday I suppose. Cheers
maybe it's just me but the jerky seems like the stuff from the end of a production run that's used to bring bags up to weight. but using smaller pieces would seem to be handier being on the move.... just pop a few pieces in and chew on them for a while.
We Canucks call it tree bark. Not super popular with the guys in my unit.
Great video as always
The soy sauce weird flavor is called umi.
Jealous bro! Never heard of those until now, on the hunt! Thanks for the review Gdog.
+Paul Buikema There are some great people out there that make all these reviews possible. Cheers Paul!
i usually put my smart phone in those plastic drink bags to keep it dry/clean. the touchscreen on your phone still works through the bag no problem. also not a fan of the beef jerky, too hard.
Just rewatching on a lazy Monday... The best beverage bag of any ration? I agree from what I have seen. Strangey enough the side dishes dont always have the same style, IE mashed potatoes and the rice dish...
theres a cranberry farm in my town sells them covered in maple syrup, i think they do this to make them edible
Thanks to you! Got my first three US MRE. ;)
+gr33nshoes Hope you enjoy them! Cheers
The word you were looking for regarding the flavor of soy sauce is umami.
Nice review. I'm torn between Polish and Canadian rations. LOL.
Hence my YT name I shave with str8 razors only and I have no opinion about DE blades. Sorry.
What an awesome little ration pack!
I thought perhaps they used other fruits to add sugar instead just sugar. I believe cranberries are very bitter on their own. I only like certain types jerky. Aldi brand and Kroger kind I like.
Great review. Kind of s mini review as there is not main entree to cook.
👍and thanks.
Fruit Source bar reminded me of the food blocks in Snowpiercer...
oh Canada! strawberry flavored dry Cranberries! ahahahah! i love my country!
I am Canadian and making them strawberry flavoured is the only I would eat them. Cranberries...yuck!
We had those in cadets the scalloped potatoes are actually delicious
The way they usually ate the jerky was to just put it in the mouth and let saliva soften it.
Lol, "I was in the Army so I'll eat it", I say that all the time! Yes I was in the Army as well. Anybody who thinks MRE'S are a delicacy would agree! ;)
Jerky is great on the gut in really hot weather as a food source. Great protein and iron, the health bar thingy gives you the fiber to help "process" it....lol. Funny seeing so many things at the grocery/variety store in Canada.
My recent favorite type has been salmon teriyaki jerky. My number one snack. Cheers
+gundog4314 but it's a little expensive
New drinking game, when gundog say the word "and" we drink.... it's gonna be a long review if we pick it up...
+woohog1 That ingredients list was nuts. Never heard of a comma? lol
As a cadet i approve of soldier fuels 100%
im in Canada and those fruit source things still have all the ands in the ingerdients. they probably could have saved some serious ink by now if they would use commas lol
It not just and but an and/or. Basically, this mean it is at least planned they could make batch where some of the ingredients could be missing or that they have multiple recipes that varies according to ingredient price.
I wonder if the other menu has cranberry flavored strawberries.
Hey gundog,
Really like your videos. I'm a former Canadian ground-pounder and have seen my fair share of ration evolution, so of course your vids interest me. So thanks, and great job.
That being said, may I offer a little bit of constructive criticism?The quality of your videos would not be diminished in the least if you edited out the mixing of powdered beverages. It slows your vids down, and pretty much everyone has seen powdered coffee and juices before. And you're not alone, kiwidude does it too. I get that you're just being thorough, but I think you could do without showing us mixing each drink.
Please don't think I'm being a knob, I really do mean to be constructive. Looking forward to new vids too!
2-1 Bravo, out.
Ah no worries John. It's a give or take thing. Some like to see every facet of preparation, some just want a show the stuff, shut up and eat it. I do however edit out extraneous stirring LOL! Cheers
gundog4314
Yes, I tend to skip over the stirring...lol
You are being a knob and IMO nit picking, it's 15 seconds of mixing is interesting to me to see how the different powders mix with the water.
IMO, "interesting to me to see how the different powders mix with the water," is one of the weirdest things I've read on youtube.
Im getting so hungry watching those videos :/
Can u do a review in french plz it should be really funny and entertaining , Btw i love ure vids mate XD
I get bad enough flak just for trying to speak English LOL!
comon it will be funy haha :)
The Canadian IMP is by far superior to any U.S. MRE, to include a Canadian LMP being far superior to a MORE.
so you shop at costco for ziploc bags to keep it all fresh i hope :)
Got a question for you. Picked up a case of MREs from 2010 in 2010 that I kept in the office for emergencies. They were stored climate controlled in the the office. Do you think they are still safe to eat? Just wondering. Thanks very much
+Jim Smith Yeah I'd say they would be fine. Here's the official stats www.mreinfo.com/mres/mre-shelf-life/
Always trust the sniff test though. Cheers
Love your videos
the solider fules are your best friend
I miss buy beef jerky but the cost of buying it in AUS is now BS.
+killzone isa My friend uses an inexpensive air drying thing and skirt steak for his own homemade beef jerky, waaay cheaper than buying it and you can flavor it however you want. Cheers!
As a Canadian, really disappointing in the lack of maple syrup.
Same here
The soldier fuel looks like an Eat More bar
They are Power Bars, basically.
eat more bars are so hard to find.
I don't want to question the integrity of the folks who feed our troops but that DOES look like a repackaged Eat More bar.
It's a protein bar, comes in chocolate as well
You didn't put the link lol
Canadians don't believe in using commas
Do,we know when the supplement kit would be issued ?
Is it common
+Marty Halvorsen I don't know. I didn't serve in the Canadian Forces, perhaps one of them could shed some light on the subject. Cheers
Not very common at all I've had them twice in 3 years. Usually issued for Recce patrols.
soy flavour is described as Umami.
Does anyone know when a soldier would be given one of these opposed to just an icr?
*imp
Explained in another comment but a CAF member said they keep a few around in case they run out of IMPs or you get a meal you detest and would rather eat this.
everything is in black colour !!! ~
it looks more like a big snack pack than a "light meal"
GO HAWKS
this is Canada, we call them peace keepers and re-builders. not so much war fighters.
Nah Mate. Armies fight wars. Police keep peace.
l.m.c = lightweight meat, and confections
When will you do a Collab? I'd love to see a Collab with you and Steve? Or with Taras ( CrazyRussian Hacker)
also Styxhexenhammer666 he is quite amazing ( although he is more of a Political Commentator)
I plan on doing something like that however I strictly stay away from politics & religion I don't need all the associated drama that comes along with it. Cheers
"And" galore... XD
Hell, I recall Fudgeos from dessert.
Reminds me of a chocolate filled Oreo.
+W “SUPERFLYDUDE01” Alley
The biscuit is crumblier and the filling is fudgier.
Altogether yummier.
+W “SUPERFLYDUDE01” Alley It's not sweet like oreo filling. It's actually quite nice, in fact I might actually prefer it to oreos especially when dipped in cocoa. Cheers
+gundog4314 That's good to know. Probably might want to actually try some of the Fudgee-O's.
+W “SUPERFLYDUDE01” Alley
Do they sell them down there?
I personally haven't bought Oreos in decades. Fudgeos fills that niche far better.
you should design an MRE
and do a review on it too
Eventually I'll make my own version, it's been a project on my radar for awhile. This was an attempt with mostly MRE components: th-cam.com/video/lhzivuS5z-4/w-d-xo.html
Cheers
looks good. if that is a Canadian Cheese Tortellini i'v had it at a RCACC (Royal Canadian Cadet Corp) FTX before and they are good
what would you say was your favorite Canadian IMP out of all of the ones you reviewed.
should be peanut m&m's
7 years in the reserves never saw 1
+shawn simpson Thanks Shawn, it's sort of the same thing with the US First Strike & MORE rations people have heard of them but most have never seen them. Cheers
My unit has about 30 of them in our binner truck in case someone fucks up and doesn't draw enough IMPs.
+FirstStrikeSabre I usually block comments with swearing...kids and all here, but this is truly a Soldier's comment talking from experience LOL! How well we all know how to Cover Your A$$!
+gundog4314 fair point. I'll keep it PG from now on. Yeah, I've gotten one of these instead of a hot meal before. Lots of goodies though, even if the jerky is a little like tree bark.
+gundog4314 what you need to try is the baked cherry dessert or the bread from any of the older imps. the only way I could eat the bread was to toast it. I still get nightmares from them
eminems ?
the beef jerky seemed a bit stale :/
+101chickendance I'm pretty sure it was just dehydrated and vacuum packed while still warm. It really wasn't that old for MRE type beef jerky. Cheers
Beef jerky? Looks like charcoal.
Without Food no Fight . 1000 K/cal.a Day Uhh... always Hungry :)
Ok, they have IMP. :)
