Danish Defence MRE Review | DENMARK Combat Ration TASTE TEST 24 Hour | Military Meal Ready to Eat

[@frederikanby2634]

Greetings from Denmark here. The toothbrush is actually meant to be a one time use, disposeable toothbrush. The lack of toothpaste is because its already applied to the brush, just make it wet and brush away. Which also explain why there is one in every package

[@ReadinessRations]

Awesome. I still have it. I think I'll do a quick short on just the toothbrush to try it out.

[@frederikanby2634]

@@ReadinessRations awesome. I think it comes from the whole "a happy Soldier is a fighting Soldier" Also, we can both agree that getting to feel like a normal human being with a trimmed beard (your knife should always be sharp enough for that) and brushed teeth is a great morale booster. It also gives a sense of normality, of everyday life, thus extending the effective operational time of the soldiers

[@abaddon1371]

Yeah, we used to use them afterwards for cleaning various things. Nice for getting dirt out from the seams in your combat boots or mud from hard-to-get places in the uniform and a nice additional tool for cleaning your weapon. Granted, that was back in 1990 and the issued cleaning kits we got was horrible :D

[@Viva-Cristo-Rey-]

Hey! A few comments from a Danish soldier. There is already pre-applied dry toothpaste to the bristles of the toothbrush. So just stick it in and get brushing. Putting cocoa drink powder in the müsli is awesome. The all-grain biscuits are very good at making you not shit. Very nice. I always put the spicy sauce in. No matter what. Love that stuff. We got some better bread now, nutella instead of peanut butter and beef jerky instead of raw bites. Also got some pretty good wet pouch dinners. :D I like our rations a lot. I would not be able to function well on American MRE's. I liked your video!

[@ReadinessRations]

Thanks for the info! I love hearing from the actual people using these. Good to know you enjoy them as well.

[@Viva-Cristo-Rey-]

@@ReadinessRations Sure thing! I always enjoy watching foreigners try them.

Wow Danish troops eat good in the field. Just discovered your channel today. Been binge watching really good reviews. Keep going bro!

[@EatsTreatsMREs]

Thats a hell of a ration. Lots of goodies packed inside just waiting to be eaten. Looked really nice that did. Glad you enjoyed it so much.

[@ReadinessRations]

It's a world class ration for sure! Thanks for checking it out!!

[@wayned5872]

Mackerel...ya ever had it smoked? It is a whole different world & actually good

Can't say I have. That does sound good though!

[@runekongstadlarsen7569]

in denmark we eat tomato mackerel with rye bread, so it made sense that the mackerel you got mixed well with the bread/wheat slab

[@bigbob1699]

If you are eating all the food over a day , you are the first to give A TRUE TEST . THANK YOU .

[@ReadinessRations]

It's the only way to really do an honest review!

[@mkbarber65]

RR that was a heck of a ration pack, there was only 1 item there I wouldn’t have been happy with-the mackerel but if you’re hungry it would certainly help! The European rations are certainly a step above both our Canadian and the US MREs, I guess we can hope that our respective procurement groups figure it out one day. Nicely done RR, take care my friend

[@ReadinessRations]

Thanks for Watching buddy! Hope you are doing well. I'd love for the US to take some ideas from Euro rations lol.

[@frederikanby2634]

Mackerel in tomato sauce is All about calories, sme as with tuna. High fat fish means for large amounts of energy in a small package. I Will agree that it is an aquired taste though.

[@timnielsen3670]

Soldiers usually trades their content, if somebody prefers something u dont prefer chances are they'll give u one of your things. Also there is a variety of different things in random boxes, different Canola bar versions, different protein bars, different breakfast and things

[@breakkid144]

I have always been curious to see what the danish troops rations look like, looks good, but I am a bit disappointed that they don't include Rugbrød/ dark Rye Bread, which is a stable of danish food. just thought it would be a nice treat for the danish soldiers to have a little something that reminded them of home.

[@belindaburns7520]

From beginning to end, that ration looked fantastic. The raspberry muesli to start to the pates and finally the mashed with meat, made my mouth water. Thanks.

[@ReadinessRations]

Thinking about the potatoes is making my mouth water lol. Thanks for watching 😊

[@blitzjazz4107]

Its very nice if your NCO gives you enough time to heat up water for the meal packets. This rarely happened. Eating some of this stuff cold is horrible and I still feel the urge to vomit whenever I smell something remotely similar to the stale cardboardy smell that greets you when you open the box

[@thomasmortensen4470]

your forgetting some of the best parts of Rations... The Trading parts..🤣

[@ReadinessRations]

I know trading is common among troops. No way to do that with a review though lol

[@danieljaramillo87]

Lie the video love how you eat everything and give an idea on how delicious the MRE is ! 👍🏻

[@ReadinessRations]

Thanks! I always try to be as descriptive as possible.

[@christinevenner183]

Great review! Orifo products are always really good, and the beverage base drinks are amazing. Its such a shame that many ration producers have moved away from using Orifo products for some reason, maybe cutting budgets of rations priced Orifo out of the running.

[@ReadinessRations]

I don't recall having a bad product from them yet.. Unless the British apple milk drink was by them lol.

[@frederikanby2634]

You know the one Thing about military gear. Always the cheapest contractor

[@pete_review]

Great review mate looks like a great ration in deed. Great variety and quality of food, I think I'd like the bread I am a fan of the wheat snack bread 🍞 Cheers mate

[@ReadinessRations]

It is like a better version on WSB so I'm sure you would enjoy it. It was a cool ration to have the opportunity to check out. Thanks for giving it a look!

[@lancerevell5979]

I like tinned mackerel, but cannot eat fresh mackerel, too many tiny bones! I like canned mackerel better than tuna. Pork liver pate is excellent, on crackers and as a sandwich.

[@rhondohslade]

The only reason I can think of for inclusion pf ANYTHING from Bridgford, in sny nation's ration packs, is that they won/win the lowest bidder competition. It certainly couldn't be based on palatability of the enclosed "food" products. While it MAY meet the various nutritional requirements, it certainly doesn't meet my taste requirements. Frankly, I think their offerings are horrid. Of course, they are also marketed by Walmart. I believe that is explanation enough.

[@rickybuhl3176]

Ok at least we got the spicy sauce out in the end lol I was getting worried.. For me - a bit of spicy in the fish pouches and then lob the fish onto the bread, they're not meals they're a side or spread/filling for something else and some mad lads mix the fish in with their main obviously depends on the main. I have not seen it done with the beef mash lol I'd have questioned if they were a Russian Op, if they did lol Edit:: Considering we sold the Danish Virgin Islands to the US between the wars - I'm kinda impressed that they're using cane sugar - it's not something we have access to up in the North here.

[@kenl9215]

I’m a Marine. I don’t like fish. So I’d use the hot sauce on the plain tuna or the mackerel In tomato sauce. In the field I’ve learned, when you’re hungry enough, you’ll eat just about anything. As a Marine I would’ve broken this meal down. What to eat when I have time, versus snacks on the go.

[@SamwiseOutdoors]

That mashed potatoes and beef meal kind of reminds me of the Chicken and Mashed potatoes meal from Mountain House. If it's anything like Mountain House's, I'll bet that it's fantastic.

[@danieljaramillo87]

I can watch your MRE video over & over again. Thank you 🙏 you inspire me to go after these meals, and I have to be honest. Most of the European MREs are the best tasting there are! Keep up and can’t wait to see you do newer meals. ❤

[@ReadinessRations]

Thanks for the support!! Hopefully I'll be reviewing a new Euro Ration soon!

[@danieljaramillo87]

You do an excellent job buddy and I’m glade to be able to watch.

[@mortenrl1946]

Black pepper on makrel i tomat? Genius.

[@kevinroche3334]

Thumbs up. You are one of the few reviewers who realises that the snacks are for on-the-go feeding, not for three course meals at a table. Soldiers, at least British soldiers, rarely have time to sit down and 'construct' sandwiches or heat up main meals. It is also why British soldiers have such big spoons - 'racing spoons', as they are known, get the food down quicker :)

[@CameronStead]

the Americans always sleep on blackcurrant , from the uk i grew up with it and blackcurrant always hits the spot

[@ericdpeerik3928]

Learn to onead pouches, it makes your food better. That's also for pouches that are warmed, just knead them so the heat is dispersed. You can thank me later 😂

[@genevieveard2246]

I would have mixed the peanut butter, and put that and a jelly into the musli and maybe some of the raisins.

[@Congobajer]

The reason why there's no toothpaste is because its in the brushes already, you can't see it but when you start using it, it foams up and there's plenty for a full brush.

[@mohitchaudhary9423]

Breakfast looks really good. Peanut butter sandwich, yum with jam even better. Peach drink's are good. Lunch was pretty interesting. Mackerel is something that I had growing up. Didn't really like it then, but now it isn't that bad. Sugar with tea, is the way to go. Pate is a good addition. The dinner main, was something I haven't seen yet. I don't drink hot chocolate that often, but Alexis love's it all the time. Tuna flakes looked better than I thought it would. Mashed potatoes really looks delicious. I might try a drop of the hit sauce. Just to say I did. Great review buddy. Have a great day 👍

[@ReadinessRations]

Thanks do much for watching buddy. This was a fantastic ration. The potatoes lone made for an outstanding meal. The ht sauce wasn't all that hot and had a really nice flavor. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday my friend!

[@demonprinces17]

Sound like a guy at the soup kitchen

[@kristiandannevang5244]

There's toothpaste in the toothbrush. Danish rations are 1of the most expensive in the world. Also. US MREs only have like 1200 calories and supposed to last 24 hours as well?

[@ReadinessRations]

A MRE is for a single meal. They are supposed to issue 3 per day but that doesn't happen sometimes.

[@davebrown1358]

G’day from Australia I enjoy your rat pack videos = MRE’s The tooth brush can be used for cleaning your weapons . Cheers ☕️☕️

[@stephengiunta1564]

Just for info, the toothbrush has added toothpaste onto it so you don't need to bring your own - If you still have it, jam it into your mouth :D

How wierd. I searched for danish MRE and saw yours, not until the end did i see it was only 96 minutes since premiere. It was meant to be. Will answer any danish questions. What you had for dinner, mash. We call that burning love in denmark.

[@ReadinessRations]

Haha, that's awesome. Glad you found it. Burning Love is a pretty awesome name. Was anything in this ration particularly Danish?

@@ReadinessRations the porridge. We often Eat it just with a little milk on. But the whole thing was Very Danish, except the bread. Most often you would get dark Brown rye bread

[@BTemple]

@@ReadinessRations not sure if I've reviewed that exact main... i had a similar one in the new Dutch Arctic, and a similar Travellunch one called Beef and Potato Hotpot in the Lightweight Estonian I did.

[@rteague1312]

Love bananas, but “banana baby food “ would be a stretch for me…I’m a texture kind of guy. Not sure about the Mackerel either. Like fish, but with that greasy sheen on the fish, I’m not confident I would have liked it. Maybe for my next MRE (just bought my first one early last week) I’ll get one with some pate in it. The dinner main looked fantastic and the entire entree looked very good overall. Another excellent review, my friend! Keep it up!

[@ReadinessRations]

Thanks for watching man! Mackerel is certainly hit and miss with many people. I don't mind it though. A Russian rat is a decent way to start if you are looking to try pate.

[@frederikanby2634]

While Tina is indeed a very high fat fish, its great for massive amounts of energy. Almost as great as a hard boiled egg

[@CynthiaHunterNightwillow]

I like how you edited the content section. Looks delicious. I think the fish would have made a decent portion mixed together for lunch. The tuna would probably take some of the fishy taste of the mackerel. Another ration I'd love to try. Do you have a link to where you purchased it? TY for sharing this with us.

[@ReadinessRations]

I wish I did have a good source for these. I got this one on an ebay auction. I wish I would have done that with the fish and made a sandwich. Thanks for watching!

[@demonprinces17]

Nathan and Steve are better

[@all.day.day-dreamer]

@@demonprinces17 Wrong, Nathan doesn't gain any traction. His views and subscribers are very low. While he has the best MRE's, he has the worst personality. He rushes his reviews and comes across as being negative in his delivery, style and over-all persona. He is also fragile and sensitive in that if you share your opinion he bullies you by responding and or blocking you if he doesn't agree. I've said some nice things to him but my goal has always been to help him build self confidence which I think he needs. Steve is the best, 1000% passionate about the MRE game. Hence, all of his subs and views. Nathan will never ever get there and Nathan knows this. I am sure Nathan himself questions why he hardly gains and subscribers and or views despite having the best MRE content on the internet, which he does. He just comes across very uninspired. All of his MRE's are "rare" and "very special" what he doesn't understand and probably will never understand is that you can't abuse that type of information. All it does is lead to him being considered pretentious. Also, his level of professionalism is non- existent in that if you listen to him carefully, he is very unfiltered. This is a bad thing in growing a channel. He literally used the word "vomit" the other day in a review and it was just so off-putting that I literally rolled my eyes. Too many cringe moments for me and I am sure others. I often find myself wishing Steve had those MRE's and not Nathan. With Nathan, you will come away not wanting anything to do with that particular MRE. With Steve, you end up jumping on the internet trying to find the MRE he just reviewed. That's something Nathan will never ever get or understand. Earlier in the year, I was showing people some of Steve's reviews and the 5 of us really thought they were excellent content, then, one of Nathan's reviews were there, which we also watched. At the end, all of us were vocal about, the WRONG guy was doing the review, that it should have been Steve. And this sums Nathan up in a nutshell, The MRE's he has is great but, those MRE's have the wrong host.
