    that smell is the actually the food rations were never very nice tasting meals but it gives you the right nutrition to keep you going

    Forgive me for being such a barb. I was highly interested in the topic but put off by the ridiculously long and uninspiring documentary of a seemingly capable man camping in his garden with a camera pointed at his crotch.

    @OregonVet wow, I would strongly advise that if you have neither constructive nor intelligent things to say, be quiet. Just because you assume that you are not facing an ego at the other end of your witty and popular barbs does not mean that you are scoring validation points with the rest of us on youtube. Yes I’m venting a little but this kind of thing should be reserved for comments left for ghetto fights ETC….

    You’d assume it would open, because if not, it would explode :O!

    Where in the directions does it say to keep prodding and poking it like that all the while?

    You can make your own MRE style meals with a dehydrator and a vacuum sealer…all you need is to heat water and viola.

    lol I knew you had set up camp in your garden because of the part when you talked about not burning the grass with the bag…the only time when people care about if the grass gets damaged is if its in their own gardens.

    just wonderin mate, how much food is in the bag? Would it fill you up or is it half a plate full?

    Its actually my garden! It wasn’t a proper camp, I bought a brand new tent so thought I would set it up, whilst I was there I thought I’d do this video. Yes there is a park and road nearby :p

    Where did you set up camp, City Park? Just taking the piss, mate. Wish I had this instead of the early MRE when even the ketchup was dehydrated.

    You might want to check out my website, Google NaturalBushcraft soon I’ll be doing some reviews on easy boil in the bag meals, but these are real quality, from a company called “Look what we found”.
