Army Rations Rat Pack Challenge

[@megamaxmax4]

Now eat a US army ration, known as an MRE. Depending on the one you get, it's either Meal Ready to Eat, or Meal Refusing to Exit.

[@LukePRTR]

Meals Refusing to Excrete

[@NowellHolmes]

LukePRTR hahaa! :)

[@thememeking994]

I agree lol

[@Cobb83SnipeZ]

megamaxmax4 Meal Rejected by Enemy..haha

[@helemschase]

Oh no. Meals Rejected by Ethiopians

[@straightouttapochinki8043]

To cook the food you use a hexa burner to heat the water in a mess tin, once boiling you place the packet of food into it and once cooked you use the water to make a tea/coffee

[@jackjones8988]

Exactly what I do when I use them.

[@valerieturner2005]

It's kinda like loot crate but for the army

[@lettuce3696]

True

[@ZackPower0315]

I love watching your videos, something about seeing people enthusiastic about things makes me happy

[@Doomsdaygirl8186]

this was the funniest video I have ever seen thanks for posting. Hello from Portland Oregon.

[@Doomsdaygirl8186]

I will have to watch the other ones keep up the good work

[@Nikita4ever7000]

Hey Dan where do you get your food rations that you eat? Since they are military rations.

[@adambradyryan]

The tablets are for when you fill your flask of water from a river or another water source you drop a tablet into the water and it cleans the water from waterborn diseases such as cholera etc.

[@terrygoyan]

One of your best videos yet. Eating a ghost pepper first would really increase the difficulty of the challenge! I still can't believe you ate one. Your one tough Brit! I like your detecting vids best though... Keep up the good work!

[@charleylance9790]

The logistics army patch on the right arm lol

[@ritchiehunter808]

I've been watching your videos over the past few years being a ww2 history addict and would like to say you make wonderful videos. Thank you for being so adventurous throughout the years with all these videos.

[@WalcomS7]

So I lost at the, "I'm drinking 3 coffees with 3 sugars in one cup." Chrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dan. That right there had to really upset your stomach. I haven't finished the video yet but I'm assuming super hyper and super crashing and then the runs.

[@craigt3637]

what we used to do with either orange/lemon powder was to add some to the hot chocolate try it. also you don't have to carry the box of rations you would brake it down so it was easy to carry ie some in the left side pouch some in the right side pouch.

[@squeethesane]

I remember MRE's as being very compact. That's an awesome true 24 hr load out but like Dan points out, so heavy... The meal pouches seem like they'd be worth making room for if you do another survival trip.

[@AsternNitrogun]

I'm in air cadets UK and omg the rat packs are awesome because it's like the mystery box.... unless you have a menu

[@thedepartmentofvillainy]

lmfao

[@leftblank1283]

"Unless you have a menu" All ration packs are organised into menus. From the sound of it you just get leftovers from the ACF in a big sack.

[@DozaCraft]

I wish more Americans knew about you! Been watching you for a little over a year now

[@kraze_banks8739]

Hey im american and i watch his channel :) i love this channel

[@Wildflower44441]

We also are Americans, and we absolutely love your channel. My husband and I both look forward to your postings! We want to go on an adventure...walk about somewhere ...(Doc Martin land, Merlin's Cave?) with you as our "tour guide"!

[@thenukegamer6041]

***** Does half american counts?

[@Wildflower44441]

But of course!!!

[@boobpoocacca2064]

I'm American

[@thephantom39]

Wow that was a lot of food, and most of it looked pretty tasty. Even though I was yelling at my TV as you forgot the caramel or jam on your cereal, and the hot sauce on your dinner. LOL

[@kianharris4539]

You're such a great KZbinr, Dan. You produce great content. Keep up the good work!

[@t1muh479]

12 minutes in and im thinking to my self (whilst having dinner) should i really be watching this?!?

[@spartan247]

Assuming that the portions are the same as US rations, that sports drink should have been mixed with 1L of water.

[@andrewbates1695]

Not going to take it to Scotland because it weighs too much, I used to carry these around on my belt webbing, just in case you got separated from your large pack......

[@thesurvivalgamer8732]

With the water purification tablets you can add them to the water and will not harm you if you drink it,it will just make it more clean.

[@vonborgestad]

The biscuits expands in your stomach when you eat the Norwegian packages. The English rations looks good. Greetings from a retired officer

[@davidpinder4587]

Much better "rat pack" that I used to be subjected to in the 80s Dan.

[@DaBilda]

I was in the Grenadier Guards in 79,80,81............ If that's the Rat Paks they get now, they are on luxury rations compared to what we used to get. Dog biscuits is the best description of what we got

[@1sakguy]

I have never laughed so much watching a a military rations review before. Thanks for the video.

[@danieltranchida4009]

Been watching you about month now, I enjoy every video. If you could number your videos and what season that would be easier to try and watch in order. I even got my two youngest kids to watch wiith me. Thank Dan T

[@ovomadepappi2387]

Are those mris so you can keep in your car for emergencys

[@frederiquekruger4818]

man you have the guts to do any thing and thats what makes me watch your videos

[@TheGoat257]

Where can i get these, they look like something that you'd buy

[@tomwills506]

***** where can I get the exact same ration pack? Soon training in British Forces

[@bbbbBEOTCH]

tuna chili pasta whoa...them napkins turned to TP real quick

[@Killbride]

I remember those in cadets. 6 week training in Ipperwash, Ontario.

[@CoachK91]

Please don't stop making videos I love watching your stuff its fun and entertaining I can't stop watching your videos

[@CoachK91]

Oh and I can't forget how educational it is

[@30121965huey]

Hi Dan!did you survive the compo plug some 12 hours later?ha ha Items in it looked ok though...

[@DongSaBang]

Dam I feel bad for you Dan :\

[@ferociousfire1523]

4 years on and im still wondering about that spoon trick...

[@orcusdorcus]

why have you got a MK7 Helmet

[@mattsmith5936]

Anyone else think that at 14 minutes while eating the crackers, Dan looks like Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump. Must admit I had a little chuckle. Good work though, very good video!!

[@lukeocallaghan1274]

This training one star tried it on a camp with my cadets and threw up on a 2Lt . It was his first camp XD

[@wyattearp190]

DAN! As always a great natural entertainer! get in!

[@geraldolson3598]

In the US rations the gum is has a mild stool softener, I don't know about the Brit version.

[@shanekluin6568]

Hi, does somebody knows where i can buy the boiled sweets?

[@tomwills506]

Where can I get the exact same ration pack from? I want to train for military and that one looked nice, can anybody help?

[@TheShellshock67]

where can you buy such ration packs? i think i need to try it!

[@nkonfya]

This guy is awesome! How did he manage to get his hands on a Ration pack I wonder

[@ferociousfire1523]

3 years on and i still wonder about that spoon trick....

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

Good presentation. The MRE looks delicious. Yeah the Tobasco sauce should be on the food. How about butter in the Muesli? Thanks. atb Opal

[@emorywood5702]

Lol. Laughed so hard when he said he wasn't going to eat the tissues

[@darrincashel6285]

Can you recommend a good metal detector for me and my son to start detecting with. We live in the USA...

[@MichaelSwan66]

Darrin Cashel i can get the garrett ace 250 best starter metal detector there is in my opinion they go for about $215.00 have found some of my best finds with it hope that helps :)

[@AndrewTGreen]

Soo... how many calories WERE in all that? I'm intrigued...

[@thewarrior3928]

Soldier are done eating now because I sending you back in the battlefield.

[@sabredivision509]

I'm in the Navy cadets and I'm soon to do my DOE's I want to know where do you get the packs from

[@sabredivision509]

[@ttjnaylor7501]

[@gtametro]

[@teaandmedals7677]

Thats a nice lid, Mk7 ?

[@aidanrobinson4809]

were you in the army

[@WessexBladesHandMadeKnives]

haha,,never thought to eat the spoon, great fun to watch!

[@wixte]

you know would've made your british army outfit stand out? if you had a replica, or prop of a l85a2. ( i mean i love that rifle, even though it may be awkward to shoot, i still love it )

[@dudleydickerson3201]

Blarf blah blug bimmo bra pew pew pew...clap...clap...clap. Yay!1!!1

[@theofficialfuziiongaming4352]

The camo must not be very good coz I can see him on the vid

[@parsons6623]

Not awkward at all

[@ptouchpaul]

First time I've seen your channel, loved the vid, I'm subscribed :-)

[@charleylance9790]

all of the food is made to be eaten straight from the bag hot or cold excluding rice & breads and stuff, with the tuna chilli pasta you ate you were meant to stir it straight in the bag and eat it its not as hot then

[@ni9220]

what jacket is that i want one! (the one at 9 mins in)

[@garrygadget]

You know I have enjoyed many different reviews,video's on youtube over the years and a few weeks ago I came across "Deep Digger Dan" by accident as I have never done any metal detecting. Over the last few weeks I have lapped up everything you have put on - seriously the most entertaining, down to Earth funny bloke on youtube today. I love wild camping so enjoyed your Scotland treks (sure you put a video up a few years back with your plans and think I commented but could be wrong?). Im even looking for a cheap entry in metal detecting now as I think me n the kids would have some fun. Keep it up mate , just liked your FB page as well - you are one of a kind and a top bloke.

[@robert197955]

I'm the same I just came across his video's a couple of weeks ago by accident while searching for D day documentarys. Thinking about getting cheap metal detector to take the bairn out. But yeah I subbed straight away

[@hassanalhosani3368]

poiuytrewqlkjhfddaZcbn

[@hassanalhosani3368]

Dgkl

[@mackenziehopkinson]

whats to do with the spoon

[@DJTilley2]

What a legend, always makes me laugh. Top bloke

[@war2slayer]

when did it came out dan ? ;-) and how many times you needed to go to the loo ? i hope all did go well . greetings warrie .

[@robcantrell13]

Awesome vid keep making more of these

[@JoachimPetersson]

Thank you for a good and fun video!

[@dnhman]

I find you to be very amusing, well done sir!

[@TheShellshock67]

where can we get these packs? i can only find them from pack 1 to 8

[@jackjones8988]

TheShellshock67 To be honest unless supplied by the MoD you aren't really meant to have the real ones. You can find them on eBay as I have seen but apart from that I'm pretty sure they are hard to get. I've had many while doing fieldcraft with cadets and they are quite nice.

[@robinrwilsonsauls]

USA as Tang-no "lilt". US MRE's have burners/heaters within the packet-you start the heater-place it inside of the pouch with the Main Course-and eat after it's cooked. What is really fun is when every ones is trading bits and parts from one another out of MRE's. bleepsRus.com is closed now-how sad.

[@tonyschenkhuizen1207]

Just to let you know dan you are always happy and energetic keep it up.you are the best

[@allangooge7299]

Nice one Dan. Made my night. I've ate some of them ration packs but not 24hrs worth as soon as I wake. Hahaha. Some of them nice. Biscuits I do remember. Chocolate bars mine had. Yummy. 👍👍👍

[@Jack_Dab]

Dan you dont eat cerial (sorry if thats wrong) i eat it and i hate milk so i eat it without it like cokkies or something like that

[@grofof4746]

i love your videos dude, keep it up PLEASE

[@Nate-tu4km]

Just wondering Dan, why do you have so much tac gear?

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Have you washed your hair since you've been back from Scotland?

[@JDsVarietyChannel]

Just poking fun at your morning hair. =P I went detecting a few days ago and didn't realize my hair looked really stupid. I can't imagine what your body went through mixing all that. lol. My brother told me MREs are intended to bind you up so you don't have to "go" in battle. I guess that's mostly the packet meals?

[@murdomw1]

You missed out. Squidge is the best thing from a rat pack just nutella in a tube. Also you can eat all the meals hot or cold

[@tris3603]

Dan wath happend with your ww2 german helmet

[@YT_Jonathan_GT]

You are very interesting to watch Dan.Keep it up and you find awesome things.:)

[@deanlewis66]

Too funny! This is brilliant!

[@Nero_Mania]

I think the reason why some soldiers would do that is because during training or overseas, youre moving around and fightingbso you might not have time to eat. Some soldiers even go a day with out food so by the end of the day you have that. If you havent eaten anything in at most over 24 hours youd be hungry as heck so youd want to get that food in your stomach and the energy that you need. So I would say, lack of food, alot of spare time, or a very big appetite are some of the reasons why a soldier mightbtry the rat pack challenge. But im not a soldier so chances are im wrong but its a good theory none the less

[@harun9828]

You'd carry 24 hrs worth of food in your webbing

[@Nero_Mania]

+Harun West no but maybe in your pack or at base or requisition officer

[@joshp4911]

hey dan we all love your videos!!! please make lots more!

[@garrypierce8593]

Their should be a pice of paper o tell u what's in their and how to cook it

[@QuaddyBoi]

in the British army they dont give two what you want to eat, you get what you're given

[@TheTopKek]

I do Army Cadets (UK) and we got 2 of these boxes for 2 days and I had so much stuff left over. Every box is different so if you get something you dont like in the field you can swap with your mates and its pretty good. Keep the videos up Dan! +Deepdiggerdan They are supposed to keep all of it inside you, I didnt poo for 3 days after eating these, keeps all the energy and stuff inside of you :D +homemadestuffz

[@DelReyno]

TheTopKek Yeah, I found that it's a nice selection if you pick the right box. You could end up with a box which is just terrible and you have to deal with everyone just to get something you want. Also, the officers don't tell you what's in them which really sucks (I'm an NCO in the CCF by the way)

[@moorshound3243]

the biscuits are know as AB's arse blockers, ha have fun!!!

[@TrigonixZeNW]

Where did you get the army gear?

[@frednorris503]

Why does every ratpac have so much packaging? Someone has to carry all the empty packaging with them on patrol.

[@bbgdaddy5198]

Wondering if this vid put you in the hospital or something as you haven't posted anything since. Let us know if you are alright. I don't think I would do anymore of the eating stunts.

[@peterharries3629]

How did he get the mk.7 helmet!!!!

[@thedepartmentofvillainy]

controlled item that is... naughty lol

[@LucasGamesLive]

Hey Dan i just started metal detecting today have you got any tips for a beginner?

[@alkissack85]

nice review (I remember them well!)- you should have had this in Scotland Dan

[@Spambmp]

He put the the biryani in the kettle 😂😂😂😂 good improvisation

[@321minder]

By the time you got to the chicken and vegetable curry i felt sick, Oh Dan did you suffer after? thank's made me laugh.

[@Matty_98]

I've had a warm chocolate cake from a rat pack. It was the best ever

[@michaelbenjmitchell1]

Fig rolls in the US are called Fig Newtons. LOL somebody is going to be real hyper aren't they.

[@eleanorfurness7417]

You know what's funny? Cadets undercooking and eating stuff in rat packs
