Dutch 24 Hour Combat Ration Menu 4 Spinach with Meatballs

[@dubc3615]

This ration did not mess around at all! It was loaded with tons of great food. I really enjoy your review on this one. The dinner main made my mouth water. This would be amazing on a cold weather adventure. Again awesome review!

[@nuked99]

Thanks for watching Dub C. This was easily quite a bit of food for 24 hours. Lot of great stuff though!

As ex dutch Navy we often made the joke how the hell do we find the time to fight if are cooking and eating the whole day. But in ernest the dutch MREs are so large and full of high calorie foods to cope with the dutch weather and climate. Most if not all parts of the MRE are available in local drugstores / camping or even travel shops. My favorite was the Nasi goreng and Hutspot The first a leftover traditional dish of our colonial past and the second an old dutch traditional staple dish made since the 80 years war or revolt against spain. Made of patatos unions and Large carrots. ,mashed up in to one pot added with some gravy and piece of thick cut bacon .

Dutch and French have best rations in my opinion. The flavors aren't bland like the US rations. I particularly love the choices, the attention to detail and they pump out the food on these babies. You certainly won't go hungry in the field. Great job.. Part deux!!

Thank you for me having a Dutch ration I’m going to enjoy it sooooo much

[@zedmeister8832]

Awesome review! I recently got another Dutch ration, can't wait to dig in. The Dutch rations never disappoint. Haven't had that menu... it looks like a good one. Thank you for the review!

Nice Steve. The newest dutch ration. I personaly got me one of that Code 93 rations only some days ago. It was the only one on ebay Germany. My first opinion, they are bigger and better than the older rations. I have menu 5 Pasta Carbonara and Mashed potatoes with vegetables. Gonna watch it later

[@carstenmichel8905]

Now i got time to watch your review Steve. Nice review. Looks like there are some major differences to my dutch ration. I got the freeze dried version of it. The mains in my ration are all freeze dried and i have some other different items. I have a bag with italian seasoning. Don't have beef jerky.

[@nuked99]

I wonder if you have the Arctic version since all the mains are freeze dried? I do believe BTemple had one a little while back.

[@carstenmichel8905]

@@nuked99 looks like. It is the Code 93 with cold weather module

[@tracyphillips3325]

Breakfast was really good looking, and plenty of it. I was hoping you might drop at least a sliver of beef jerky in the bullion, for just a sample. Your combination with the porridge was really a good idea. Supper was probably the best. No shortage of food. Excellent job buddy 🤝

[@nuked99]

Thanks for watching Tracy. I almost made this 2 parts there was so much to try.

[@kevintsangmsc]

Good to have a couple of these at home just in case.

[@thecman26]

Let's get this out on a tray, nice! Thanks to the GBS (grunt bartering system) you could swap something in there that you won't want for some good jam for the porridge. Especially since there's more than enough drinks!

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

Lots of great items in that ration. Bet it filled you up pretty good.

Yeah it was actually more food than what i had time for. Could have esily made it 2 parts. Thanks for watching Fernbark!

Hello Amigo! Good looking ration. Good food abounds. Let's whip this thing out !, LOL. All components and meals, look excellent. Each meal, has A stand out! Usually, the mains. Nice job, my friend. Save me A Rolly? Rollie? Freaky looking, however, always intrigued me? LOL. Peace from, Kentucky, John.

A little sugar and some of the hot chocolate powder may have altered the porridge. But peanuts is different 😂

[@ricklane8554]

Nice you liked the Dutch MRE... admit, Holland is half English already right? :) Although I never learned about " Traversing " Is it traveling food or what? Good show as usual my friend :)

[@nuked99]

Traversing can have a few different meanings but mostly i look at it as a different meaning for traveling or going from one point to another. I was trying to find a different meaning of trying many types of food and that is what i came up with. Plus it was not taken by any of the other social networks lol.

That is a huge ration and could be stretched out I'm sure longer than 24 hours ! I always enjoy your reviews and this one was fine except that I would prefer to see the whole ration ! I myself would rather watch a longer video instead of omitting items just to shorten the length of the upload !! I base my future purchases off what these reviews contain and really count on thorough and honest descriptions of the products ! Please dont get me wrong You do a great job and I appreciate it very much! Maybe what you said about doing it in 2 parts is a good idea ! Thank You for all your hard work putting these together for us all ! PS I would have put the Peanut butter and Chocolate and the Peanuts in the Parridge !! That would make a heck of a dessert ! Lots of options in this massive ration !

[@nuked99]

I really did think about making it into 2 parts but i try not to these days since a lot of people usually do not watch the 2nd part, plus it is hard to keep something this big under 30 minutes without sounding rushed. At least that is that way it was back when i started and was quite new to this. I will try and make sure to include everything when i can. Thanks for watching Jerry!

[@jerrypropstjr8742]

@@nuked99 Your quite welcome Brother! I can only imagine how hard it actually is putting one of these videos together and getting it to come out in a timely manner! I've tried just for practice and I know how fumbled my words became (non scripted) ! I really want to start my own channel just as a hobby but it's hard when your taking care of 4 grandchildren and 2 horses 4 dogs a wife and 6 acres of property! But maybe one day I'll get to do it ! Also I need the right camera! What kind do you use ? Thanks Again for your reviews! I've been watching reviews on KZbin for 6 years now and have learned a lot !

[@nuked99]

@@jerrypropstjr8742 Sorry for such a late reply Jerry i am WAY behind on comments. I may not have as much going on as you do but when you live by yourself it seems that there is always something that needs to be done, or else it just does not get done lol. It took me a little while to find my rhythm making videos, but it does become routine after a while, especially trying to get used to using video editing software and knowing how to set up your camera and lighting properly. As for my camera i sold a lot of my older equipment and currently use a Canon EOS Rebel SL2 with the 10-18mm lens. I also have a 50mm lens and the 24mm pancake lens. It's not the cheapest setup for sure, but it's also not the most expensive either. Using a SLR camera is kind of nice for both shooting pictures and making videos at the same time imo, but it is not the best at doing each one separately if that makes sense. One big downside of using a SLR camera for shooting video is most of them have an automatic shutoff at 30 minutes in case it starts getting too hot, which sucks if you plan to live stream. Some people just use their phone when they get started though. Having an external microphone is a nice upgrade plus a good lighting kit if you need it. If you ever wondered why i use a blue cloth is due to my countertops being granite, and the light reflection is horrible! As for my video editing software i did not know how deep i would get into shooting video so i dove off the deep end and started using DaVinci Resolve. It is a major professional package that is free but also has a paid version. I even watched a 45 minute KZbin video just to learn the basics of it. Do i fully utilize every bit of the software? Hell no! But it is nice to know that i now CAN use it if needed. From what i have read the paid version just gives you extra special effects. I know i have rambled quite a bit here but to end this i know there is a lot of people out there to watch on KZbin but the one that got me started off on the right foot runs a page called Think Media. Personally i think he does a great job of camera reviews, KZbin setup, lighting, etc. I hope this helps on getting you started off on the right foot if you plan on starting a page. Just remember to just watch a lot of videos and find your style. I personally think i started off as a mumbling idiot, but i do enjoy the hobby.

I have actually never thought about that before. Would be interesting to try though!

[@samsworldofrations6996]

The dutch don't hold back on the amount of food in their 24hr pack's, you would need to be working hard to utilise all those calories. I believe the Dutch arctic ones have even more calories. Great review Steve.

Why didn't you add the porridge and the muesli together? That's a no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

[@SmittyMRE]

Whoa, did that chicken soup actually look that green? haha, almost looks like something marketed for ghostbusters.

[@nuked99]

Actually the soup is a little bit yellow, but since the bowl is clear and the tray is blue it made it look a little bit green. It did have an odd color though! Thanks for watching Smitty.

[@johnwilliams7102]

Massive haul - only issue is what to eat and which meal ( nice problem ). I wonder how the broth would work in the porridge...adding peanuts dressed it up nicely.

[@nuked99]

Hey John Thanks for watching. The Dutch rations have so much food it can be hard to figure out what to have. Also i did not forget about one of your earlier questions about the light wheat bread that i make. It is not my recipe and really do not plan to make a video of it any time soon, but if you want the recipes i make 2 different ones. The quick version can be found here and is from The Bread Baker's Apprentice smittenkitchen.com/2009/01/light-wheat-bread. The better tasting version but takes longer can be found here from The Bread Bible bewitchingkitchen.com/2011/08/23/cracked-wheat-sandwich-bread. That recipe calls for agave nectar but the original calls for honey. I have both books and they are loaded with excellent recipes for all kinds of bread.
