I served in the U.S. Army. While on long missions, we would put the dry coffee grounds in our lip and let the caffeine wake us up that way. Bit of a pick me up
Good to see you out in the Forest again. I wonder if maybe the water wasn't hot enough to desolve the creamer. But I'm surprised they didn't add a tea bag. Oh well can't have it all I guess. Thanks for doing this review.
Brilliant video of the MCW Ration field Test the spaghetti with meat sauce looks delicious the coffee looked strange see you on the next video take care
Cool MRE review Andy. Glad you feel much better after your Sweden trip. I was waiting for a part 3 from you but I noticed you were already the co-star on Simon's Channel. lol...I liked the trail mix that you made out the most here. haha...
Love the mre uploads Andy enjoyed this one thanks again pall stay safe and look forward to the next one cheers. Oh nearly forgot that first bit when the fire took looked like it nearly singed the beard 😂
Welcome back to the UK Andy, that's a nice quiet little spot you've got there. The spaghetti looked a bit sloppy even with you putting less water in than recommended, and that creamer was just nasty. I've found a few non dairy ones that split in boiling water which isn't helpful. Thanks for the review.
Nice to see you back on UK soil mate, loved watching the Sweden trip. Such a shame a day got wasted to illness. Thats the way she goes sometimes though I suppose. Another great MRE review. How about you start a series reviewing all the same ones , except this time keep them dehydrated 😂
Bit of a beard singe hazard there! I like the collapsible tube bellows to keep the face from the fire and smoke out of my eyes. I also was surprised at how much the beef chunks rehydrated in that packet. Does the packaging on this kind of item allow for opening and reclosing, for example to get into the trail mix early, while hiking or for quick energy at a stop along the way between meals?
OMG lol I turned my head away from the screen for a couple of seconds and when I looked back I thought, why has he got a load of worms over his crackers, lol sorry that what it looked like, I realised it was the peanut butter stuff lol lol lol
Andy I saw a woman who knew all about MRE"s and she said that anything with a high fat content like milk (in the powdered creamer), milk chocolate (which is why you got the 70% dark chocolate), (or high fat cheeses) don't freeze dry very well. They don't last as long for Best Before Dates, so although there's nothing really wrong with that creamer in your coffee, it just needs to be swirled around more, and then close your eyes when you take a sip!! LOL!
Welcome back home, Andy. Glad to see you safely back. 👍 I don't know why they would put the Nutella spread in that MRE instead of a cheese spread. It would go better with the veg crackers and the spaghetti. Weird. The company who made your MRE is not far from me.
I was bummed for you when I saw the Veg Crackers and the Chocolate Peanut butter. That Chocolate Peanut butter is awesome, but I don't know about on a Veg Cracker.
Nice looks great mate I like the more Teiresias where do u get them from though is it eBay a specific seller can u add a link in the discription plz would be greatfull
I like MRE reviews and collecting them. Shipping from US is ridiculous to Australia but. It would be much more reasonable to UK wouldn't it? Thanks for the review Andy.
It's about the same. To send one of those rations to the UK is $57.00 for 6 to 10 days delivery time or $24.00 for 21 or more days. Australia is $55.35 6-10 days and $23.50 for 21 days
Where do you get these US rations out of interest? Is there a preferred UK vendor you use? Ebay? Or do you have a mate in the US that can get them? Chaars
Greetings to you Kent for Survival. I watch your video and I'm interested in what camera you use and program for the creation of the video. Milan, Slovakia.
Good Vid Andy , does it feel Strange being back in Blighty , are you pineing for tbe Ffiords yet ? Lol What does the Mrs Kent Survival say , you keep sloping off for a day or more? Looking foward to the Next one
Nice, I was wondering when you'd be uploading or whether you gave up on MRE's? By the way, I'm super keen to get hold of one of those Czech ones, is there a way I could get one through your GF's friend ... somehow mate? Cheers from Ldn
@@TheConradChannel i'm in the UK though, I would prefer to get them from europe directly rather than from a US seller and have to spend half the amount on shipping. Thanks anyway though.
I am in Ireland. There are many members of that forum all over. I have traded for Czech rations with the guys from the "crombat rations" channel and got the Czech rations from them out of Croatia. I had some nice Dutch ones to trade at the time.
@@TheConradChannel ah ok thanks man, there I was thinking it would be 99% people from the US and Canada! haha when you say trade you mean supply one MRE for another?
I tip my fedora to you. You show a recent trip to Sweden where you get 'Ragnar's Revenge' and the next video is an MRE with what appears to be your stomach contents.
Andy I've no personal experience of this but the evidence of countless MRE vids I've watched but Tasters Choice coffee is notorious for developing black mould after about a year I think its disgusting that its still being packed in the rations most of the other reviewers open the accessories pack oh hell Tasters Choice and toss it won't even take the chance ATB mate Bill
I do like the idea of MRE's but they seem well expensive. On eBay they seem to be about £15. I could buy enough food at the Chinese Market to last a week for that much money. Great job though buddy.
word of advice, dont eat the plastic ? Just messing around, but you can get Lithuanian MRE's for as low as £8 with Free delivery... Mine wasn't too salty, the spanish one I just uploaded was quite salty to be honest!
I served in the U.S. Army. While on long missions, we would put the dry coffee grounds in our lip and let the caffeine wake us up that way. Bit of a pick me up
Man you ever make it to America and I will carry you camping wherever you’d like to go. Seems like you’d make a fun camping partner
Thansk so much man, your videos are keeping me sane rk !!!
You are looking quite relaxed. Happy that you are back at it. Thanks for sharing
I binge watched all your ration reviews today and they are brilliant, I’ve really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing 😊 Can’t wait for the next one 👍
Good to see you back after Sweden trip,glad you feel better now.
Good job the beard is short as that fire nearly caught it when your bundle ignited 😂😂😂
Love your videos mate! They are getting me through this quarantine, and having me thinking of better days.
Good to see you out in the Forest again. I wonder if maybe the water wasn't hot enough to desolve the creamer. But I'm surprised they didn't add a tea bag. Oh well can't have it all I guess. Thanks for doing this review.
Very relaxing and informative to watch.
Thank you for the hard work making these videos!
Another great video Andy.
Thanks Andy, have a Great Day!
... Mike.
Good to see you back and looking healthy!
Thanks for sharing Andy.
Take care mate. Steve. 👍👍
Brilliant video of the MCW Ration field Test the spaghetti with meat sauce looks delicious the coffee looked strange see you on the next video take care
Hi Andy my grandson drew a picture of you making up camp I would like to send it to you so you could have a laugh I did 😂👍🏻
Good to see you back Mate!
Awesome review Andy! Thanks brother!
Nice review on the MRE pack Andy 👍. Luv your tral-mix 😄
Thanks andy that MRE pack had some nice stuff in it apart from the coffee cool a vid straight off the bat after sweden aswell more of a bonus

Another great video. Keep them coming
Cheers bud, I really enjoyed this vid.
When you ate the puddings before mains i had to laugh.
Very entertaining.
You should try and get your hands on the Cheese and Veggie Omelet MRE aka the vomelet.
I don't know why I enjoy these mre videos so much .
they are fun to do also, you should try one!
swing by and check my playlist :)
Nice simple MRE to bad the creamer was spoiled. Good to see you appear to be feeling well after the trip to Sweden.
Nice vid mate and a nice looking mre
Thanks! Hadn't heard of MCW before...
Good to see you back safe, how about some more collabs with Simon maybe going up and down the rivers with some stealth camping?
Good stuff Andy, boy, that coffee looked rough. Thanks :)
Hey Andy great review sir THOSE MOW are great I wondered who bought it off eBay well done man nice review
Welcome back to the UK Andy, that's a nice quiet little spot you've got there.

great as always bud 🤟
Nice one man. Love the MCWs . The main in this is decent for what it is. My favourite are the beef stew and the eggs Western style
Made just south of me in Ohio about 20 miles or so. (MRE)
Thanks for the video again bro............JJ...
My own experience with US mre’s the coffee creamer doesn’t fully dissolve unless the water is just off the flame boiling hot
Alright mate! Where did you buy this ration too may I ask?:)
Great vid! Thanks
It's good to get MRE reviews. Then you get to know what you may want to take along in the field.
Nice to see you back on UK soil mate, loved watching the Sweden trip. Such a shame a day got wasted to illness. Thats the way she goes sometimes though I suppose. Another great MRE review. How about you start a series reviewing all the same ones , except this time keep them dehydrated 😂

British rat packs can't be beaten ! Even biscuits HB ! Oat blocks are great and so is the drinking chocolate 😋 main meals aren't dehydrated either!
I'll be trying that out soon! but had a French 24 hour already so ... the bar is already set real high! :)
Another great review . I tried looking for this mre but can't find it anywhere. Where can I get this one for. Mate
Slim Andy!?! Looking good, mate.
oh I dunno about that but thank you haha
Agreed! It could be the lack of winter clothes or getting a stomach bug while on that canoe trip maybe? Lol
Lovely to listen to that bird song, shame about the planes lol. Good review mate. ATB Moose.
What no extra spices today Chef Andy? Some nice garlic & onion powder in the spaghetti would have made your taste buds want to sing. Cheers!
I always like under watered chilli con carne myself. It’s all about the crunch.
Magnifique vidéo excellent partage 👍@bientôt friend Actéon outdoors
Lovely area. Gosh, those meals are odd. So much packaging to haul back out. I agree, the trail mix does look like the best part.
You didn’t bring any ketchup?!?!?! 😂🤣😝
Nice looks great mate I like the more Teiresias where do u get them from though is it eBay a specific seller can u add a link in the discription plz would be greatfull
I often use ebay but no one specific, sometimes from military surplus stores and even amazon sell some, thanks for watching buddy
Kent Survival always a pleasure mate
US MRE's: If the GMO's dont kill ya, diabates will! LOL
I dont eat them my fingers and toes will fall off lol I have diabetes
@@candiceb8925 damn, sorry to hear that :(
Reason i don't go for MREs; all the damn peanuts. Some of us have allergies :-) Guess some US personnel have that issue too. Nice review.
lovin!amazin fire so quick u firestarter top man!

@@kardstore It's expensive to UK too.
Wish is wasn't could get more mre's then.
Not worth those prices🥴
Where do you get the MRE's from? do you buy them? or are they sent for you to try? if you buy them where from please? post link please?
Shame u not got ur own TV show.
Think I'd have had some of the crackers with the beef/spaghetti. Nice video, cheers , good to see you back. :)
How much do those packs cost please?
You should do a video of all the wild stuff you can eat growing within feet of your camp :)
What's all that green stuff all around you ?? :D
Great content andy.. love it! Im from ashford in kent with a very small channel would be great to do a vlog on a youtuber in the woods!
Andy: I’ve not got much hope for these king Alfred cakes
King Alfred : hold my beer 😂
Where do you get these US rations out of interest?
Is there a preferred UK vendor you use? Ebay?
Or do you have a mate in the US that can get them?
Chaars
Well it’s good to see you eating something other then sausage. Haha nice to you back in to health. 👍🏻 the new sport looks cool
The water was too hot when you put the creamer in. Loved the Sweden series Andy, shame you got a bug. Atb
Norfolk Boi please tell me you’re not a scummer?? (I.e a Norwich fan?)

you ought to invite simon down to do a camp thingie... maybe you could both build some more structures etc together, might be cool!
nice mcw there 😊

Sad when coffee gets messed up!!
That all looked a bit unappealing
Wow, I've never seen a "non-dairy creamer" go off after only a few years. I mean that's the whole point of it being non-dairy.
I'm wondering if the water wasn't hot enough for it to dissolve properly. MRE's are usually good about keeping things good.
Interesting meal. All that hot pepper sauce, rather you than me!! wooohahaha 🤣
hehe, would have appreciated it more on a cold day :p
@@KentSurvival lndeed 😊
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The “gum” is Bisacodyl for relief from side effects of eating MREs.

WA ? NO KETSUP???? Just kidding make great video is always keep them coming
I do like the idea of MRE's but they seem well expensive.
On eBay they seem to be about £15.
I could buy enough food at the Chinese Market to last a week for that much money.
Great job though buddy.
Ive seen alot of close calls in ur videos but have u ever caught ur beard on fire?
Andi Williams i was wondering about that too
The spaghetti looked nice. :)
Jesus bless you
You look more Swedish now.
Great place for a good shelter, but I hate those meals, to salty, to expensive and a lot of plastic.
word of advice, dont eat the plastic ?
Just messing around, but you can get Lithuanian MRE's for as low as £8 with Free delivery... Mine wasn't too salty, the spanish one I just uploaded was quite salty to be honest!
Spaghetti and meatballs look alright not sure about that peanut butter🤣lol...
i liked your long hair my dude, but in this vid? lookin s harp. short hair definitely suits you.
No ketchup? That's not good.
I will never eat them again since I got out of the Army.
You had your fill of them eh I bet
You should have really tried the taster nasty
Looks like it was a 2012 ration. Should have all been ok
spaghetti looked good, think maybe some KETCHUP would have made it better
It looks like a horrible pile of gunk, saying that if you were starving you would eat your own?
