welcome back, dude... we missed ya!
greetings from cologne, germany

Great to see you back man!
I've got to say, these New Zealand rations are in my Top 3 for sure.
That muesli is a huge portion and probably my favourite as well... aside from maybe the Danish chocolate one.
I have not reviewed anything from NZ on my review channel but it does look good the breakfast esp.
Guy geuss what, im from nz 🤯🤯🤯😂
I never felt so excited to see the notification of a MRE review. It's so good to have you back
Great to have you back Gusto, nice review!
A bit of background on some components for you below:
Anzac biscuits are basically what you would think of as a sweet oatmeal cookie in the US, one of the main ingredients of them is golden syrup (if you know what that is, it's a by product of refining cane sugar).
Those muesli bars are sold commercially as Kellogg's K-time bars in Australia and New Zealand, best variety is apple and cinnamon IMO.
Klinkers (also spelled Clinkers) are basically honeycomb/sugar crisps usually coloured in pastel colours (pink, green and yellow) they've been a favourite sweet in Australia and NZ for decades, usually found either as pieces as in this chocolate bar or as individual 1 1/2 inch long oval forms coated in milk chocolate.
The canned cheese spread is probably Mainland brand (NZ made) and it's definitely made with a sharp cheddar cheese, Aussie CR1M's had the Mainland cheese in them until around 2015-16 when they were switched to the locally made Bega brand cheese.
Lastly the noodles are repackaged Maggi brand commercial ones, we just call them instant noodles down under instead of ramen noodles.
Great post
I'm a black coffee with a touch of sugar guy. But I never see coffee cream in yalls mre's . Is it not big there.?
What's more popular coffee or tea.
I'd be trading tea for coffee lol unless I had access to ice then I'd make a cup of strong sweet tea and pour it over a glass of ice lol.
I'm a southern boy we like our cold sweet tea.
@@jimmieburleigh9549 Aussie and NZ rations always have a tube of sweetened condensed milk in them so you never see creamer in the rations, as a general rule most people dislike it over here. Modern day there's about a 50/50 split between coffee and tea drinkers in Australia, going back to my Grandmother's generation though tea was more popular than coffee, maybe a 70/30 split back then.
@@Tiger351 thanks for the info
And my apologies if I offend you in any way.
Yall big on iced sweet tea like I described?
@@jimmieburleigh9549 No problem, not offended at all. I missed the last part of your question (got cut off and I didn't see the "read more" on there), yeah we do like our iced tea over here in summer, I prefer mine with a bit of fresh lemon or lime juice on a hot day (it's been known to hit 115 F where I live).
Welcome back doc, we missed you.
And btw, very NICE intro.
Thank you! This was a fun one.
@@rcgusto2427 thank you for sharing this to us as always.
The long metal spoon though is newly strange.
Great to see you back! Hope to see more in the near future!
A big welcome back, you were missed but it's understood! Thanks Kiwi Dude for sharing, I miss his and the boss' reviews too....
That's a ton of good looking food.
I'd say I enjoyed watching as much as you enjoyed eating!
Welcome back, you have been missed. That was a great and comprehensive review.
Awesome to see you back mate. We have missed you, but life is always most important. Congratulations on completing the renovations. Always a massive and stressful time.
The NZ review was great and makes me want to get into one too. LOL
Looking forward to seeing more reviews soon mate.
Yay bumble bee bowl is back! Welcome back you have been missed!

Wow I wish they included sweetened condensed milk in MREs here
Happy to see you back!
Welcome back nice review
Good to see your back always liked your reviews over other's I've seen. Hope all is well with you and your family. And again welcome back.
Hello, I found your channel through Steve1989 so I thought I would come over and check it out. I’m new to the MRE’s and trying to get into collecting vintage MRE’s and military kits.
Thanks for the great review. Yeah life happens welcome back
Awesome! Missed your videos!
Gusto's back! Good to see you. Looks like a really good ration.
Glad to see you back gusto
Glad to see you back m8!
Wow RC Gusto it sure has been a while. I know we are all busy with life but it is nice to see you back especially with an interesting ration. The packaging sure is boring but there is quite a lot of items in the NZ rations. Also i may not be keeping food items in my shop but at least we have the same organization skills lol. Everything looked really good though nice to see the bumble bee bowl make an appearance and thanks for sharing!
Long time no see Bruh... welcome back!
Hi Gusto, glad to see you back! Nothing like a dusty one, to get back in the game👍
Great review R C. Almost forgot about the bumblebee bowl. Nice to have you back. Looking forward to your next review 👍
Welcome back Gusto great ration review looks tasty had a Austrian ration a few years ago with the sweet and sour chicken and the rice was a package of instant rice on the side.
Welcome back Amigo ! My garage, is not alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. That meal, highly resembles, the, Aussie, CR1M, agreed. I will show Btemples ration, sent to me, very soon. All components, mains, sides, snacks , and extras, looked awesome, throughout this review. I see no problem with anything, from my side of your camera friend. I would consider, this, an, awesome ration sir. Well done, Peace, John.
Thanks for the great video RC,!
Hey RC!
gundog4314 I’m back!
Nice vid. What we call cookies, the British/Australians call biscuits. The naming convention differences are interesting,
Hey, Gusto, good to see you back. Your workbench looks as neat as mine, :-)
I wish you were more active on TH-cam. I recently discovered you thanks to Steve and really loved to see rations from your perspective.
Great to see you back at it Gusto.
Welcome back!
Welcome back Gusto!
Looking forward to new uploads.
I'm hungry!
Welcome back Gusto!

First time watching you. I came by on a recommendation from Steve1989. Great presentation and l will be back. 👍
You really good at the mre review game
G'day and welcome back 👍
Nice job
Hey welcome back, good sir. That “life thing” eh? Ugh haha
nice to have you back and now could you try the belorussian ration.
it´s great to see you again
Hey Brother !! I'm so glad your back at it ! I've really missed your reviews !! I know what it's like to have a lot going on in life ! 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Afib and have had surgery to correct it and that is fine ! It was rough for a while but I have turned my health around by changing my way of eating to healthy clean food !! The biggest change for me was cutting out sugar almost totally and I eat low carb "less than 30 grams per day ! I have lost 94 lbs !! My diabetes is almost nonexistent !! Listen Bro I behind you 100 % no matter how many breaks you take !! God Bless You and Your family ! Welcome Back !!
Welcome Back!
Glad you enjoyed New Zealand ration pack.
Holy shit. I thought you took the same path as kiwi dude and quit. Glad to see you back brother.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!RC IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!
CHEERS YOU✌️🤘🖖
RC, ok I just watched this new video after watching a few of the old ones. This message will be kind of long so I apologize in advance. I didn’t know you have been away from this since I just joined your channel but glad you back.
Ok, WOW! This was like night and day from the old videos. The sound was better the camera work was better, so what are you using?
1) I LOVE that spoon holder along with my favorite Breaking Bad mug....LOVE IT!
2) You are 100% better at laying everything out and GREAT at explaining each item in detail....that is perfect.
3) It’s nice to see things in a tray rather than a plate in the old videos. But you kept the bee bowl, that was kind of cool to do that.
4) You were very good at explaining how the food tasted and how the texture was. You were just so much better with the details, it was like a cooking show! In a really good way, because I felt like I was right there with you👍
5) You so much better with all the terminology, like when the chocolate turns colors.
6) Why did you talk so much in metric as opposed to standard, like I would rather hear how much it was in ounces rather than milliliters?
Last: I have been trying SO HARD to find the New Zealand or even the Australian MRE and I can’t find it. I’m willing to pay for it, how can I do that?
Overall, I love your channel and will TOTALLY be watching it for many reasons. Not only for the things I said above, you know Breaking Bad😊, Skull Spoon Holder😊.....but I LOVE St. Jude’s Hospital!!! I have two healthy soon to be 18 in September twins, a boy and girl. I’ve loved St. Jude’s ever since Danny Thomas was the main man.....I don’t know how old you are but I remember him very well and now Marlow Thomas his daughter is the main spokesperson I guess you would say. But I donate just because of what they have done for kids and families. My heart goes out to them!
So I’m hitting thumbs up, I’ve already subscribed and you are great compared to the beginning videos.....which I still have to watch some more of those.
You will see me commenting and asking questions in the future. If you have time could you answer the ones I asked above when you have time?
But I give you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!!!
mark Bohamed I use a canon M50 with a Rode mic, MacBook Pro with iMovie.
The skull was used by my grandfather when he was in dental school, I inherited it when he passed away, used it in medical school.
I obtained the NZ ration a while back from a viewer. I may have a spare CR1M I’d be willing to sell, but they are a bit pricey. I was away for a bit because of a lot of work, family factors and a home renovation. I’m still getting settled with respect to those factors, but planning a new video next week. I greatly appreciate the feedback! I’ve really tried to improve.
mark Bohamed as far as St. Jude goes, I have had several people in my life who have had children treated at St. Jude. It’s very important to me. I am also a charity runner for St. Jude Heroes for the Chicago Marathon.
mark Bohamed I generally use metric because it’s the typical measurement system I use at work. Also, most rations are in metric units. American ones tend to use standard, so you may hear that on US reviews
RC Gusto Thank you SO MUCH for answering all my questions I really appreciate it. I’m glad you are including the skull and it sounds like you have a lot on your plate, no pun intended😊 Do you know how much you would want for that other MRE? If you would like you can email me. It’s just my name that is on here with no spaces at yahoo.
RC Gusto Well thank you for all your doing!! I’m sorry you have had friends that had to go through a tough time, but I hope and pray that everything went well with their children👍
Hey welcome back rc
Great review !! What is a Klinker ?
Welcome back!! Have you heard anything from Kiwi Dude???
Connie Berlanda not in a while. I’ll reach out
ha - love the opening
Klinkers haha its just a generic term for hard lumps within chocolate, can be fruit based or candy based, the term originates from hard lumps of coal :) the most special item in the pack: the ANZAC biscuits.. became famous in the WW1 era.. ANZAC meaning Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, it has become one of the many symbols for the solidarity formed between the nations
Yep. Kiwis make good food. Especially their bakery goods. But I digress. ANZAC biscuits were made for the soldiers during the WWars out of simple ingredients and very much a favorite in both Aussie and kiwi land still. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corp Representing the soldiers especially during WW I but also to this day.
YOu can get the equivalent of the sweetened condensed milk at any grocery store in the US with a Hispanic food section. Look for the Nestle La Lechera brand. It's usually about $5.00 for 12 ounces and lasts for years without refrigeration. It's good in coffee, tea, and things like the muesli or oatmeal. Oh, and put those dried onions in the beef soup. That's why it's included.
Never understood the match container. Why ain't the striker inside. Dry matches don't work with a wet striker.
BUMBLE BEE BOWL!!!
*the bumblebee bowl*
I'm in the Swedish army. I have a couple of new Swedish MRE packages I could send your way if you'd be up to pay for shipping. It's not the same as the one you reviewed a while back. :)
It's an Anzac biscuit, for background en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzac_biscuit
Just subbed. I've been meaning to sub for a while but I somehow get into other things, (yeah Fred, tell me another whopper.) All seriousness aside, I've never had an ANZAC ration. The cheese appears to be Bega, but it's a tough call. The attributes are similar with perhaps color differing moderately.
Nah we use Mainland cheese kiwi.
@@katerinakemp5701 Good to know. Thanks Cheers
I forgot all about the skull and spoon, it's been so long!
First! Nice review!
Thank you!
Welcome back from Heavener, OK.
10/10 intro should be good
Hey! I just noticed the Tulsa mug. Homie
Wdlcome back.
Aussie Kivi Army Corps biscuits..... cute
Just place the noodles in your mouth then add the boiling water and let it sit
*Works for me*
15:19 😂 indomie
No vegimite? That’s s odd
Nah Marmite is the kiwi go to not vegemite.
Vegimite is more associated with aussies , here marmites the talk of town 😆 kiwis prefer it kinda like a diss too vegimite over our rivalry !
What the hell is Klinkers?🤔
I miss kiwidude and the boss
That ratpack looks like it could last 48 hours.
I miss kiwidude so much,😭😭😭
Luckey Valero
