Ok, so I forgot to change the Title screen, sorry guys, please ignore it haha, enjoy

[@bowseratvandsmallenginerep6797]

Thoroughly enjoyed the "nut cream" chuckle at the beginning there. Haha

[@KentSurvival]

childish I know haha

[@ciaomarco4194]

awesome ..... really good, keep 'em coming. Still waiting for the ultimate MRE

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Nice one mate, love the nut cream! The packaging was really good on this one. Cheers mate.

[@KentSurvival]

you love a bit of nut cream ! haha

[@jerrypropstjr8742]

Great video Andy ! I Love watching these MRE videos WHY I don't know ! My wife thinks I am weird ! Maybe lol ! Anyway I wanted to tell you what you can do when you get coffee but no whitener or sweetener you can make what's called Ranger coffee by mixing the coffee with the hot chocolate . Especially when you really aren't much of a coffee drinker like you and I ! Thanks for your time making these vids for us all !

[@KentSurvival]

Hey, I know what you mean, these ration reviews are somewhat hypnotic haha, I did think about the ranger coffee idea but felt I needed to at least try them separate to do a complete 'review' so to speak. Thanks for watching as always :)

[@PinetreeLine]

Looks like a cool ration! Great review! Thanks!

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you :) its a good one indeed, looking forward to the other menus when I get them for sure

[@Tallhotmama]

That works out to be allot of food for one little pack. Im convinced to try them. Thanks Andy!

[@KentSurvival]

not bad is it, the dehydrated stuff just kept growing haha

[@jbradshaw4236]

I'm sure most people known but cold weather rations are always dehydrated. This is because wet packs freeze solid. This is a tiny amount of food for a day, it was never enough for us we would always need more. Nice video brought back some memories thanks.

[@paulyshobbiesandthings4772]

Hi Andy well done that was an excellent video I enjoyed watching that I think I saw them on ebay but costs to much all the contents looked great along with the drinks ect I have watched your last 3 videos aswell

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks buddy :) its a good ration, I def want to try others.

[@westtexasprepper]

I do like the way it is packaged. Great looking meal.

[@KentSurvival]

Hi, yes, its a good ration, I def want to try other menus! Thank you for watching

[@tullys_wilderness]

Nice Review! I like this norwegian acrtic field ration very much. looks very tasty.

[@drergot1841]

Useful stuff, thanks. Good to have nut-cream in there; helps prevent chafing on those long ski routes. Phil (Swedish flag in thumbnail btw, as if it matters)

[@KentSurvival]

haha it certainly does.. and thanks.. thumbnail changed, what a Wally haha

[@Ambushcraftnhunting]

Nut cream I was crying pal great video buddy really enjoyed it and thanks for sharing a.t.b Andrew

[@KentSurvival]

haha I read it on the outer label before leaving and I knew I wouldn't keep a straight face :P

[@Sticky745]

Very awesome! I wish I had a case of Norwegian rations.. I’m hoping to review the one you sent me soon 👍

[@KentSurvival]

thanks, nice one, I might try and get a few at some point, ill email you after I get some prices

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyhh

[@olejacobstalesen6558]

One of the last training exercises our son took part in while in the army here in Norway, he ate seven -7- of those packs in one day.

[@RM-io7qo]

From the ingredients of the field rations in this case, I'd say that it's likely as delicious as it looks. I like cranberries and nutella, plus cereal bars. However, like yourself, Andy, I'm not a coffee drinker either. I prefer fruit teas, though I have nettle tea among the 30 odd flavours I have on hand at any one time. The Scandinavians are renown for their types of bread, so the one in the rations certain looks good to eat. I like apple juice, so the drink sounds pretty good. I've never had chicken tikka, though I do like and eat chicken at least twice a week, but usually cold in a salad. Great video. Take care...

[@KentSurvival]

It was def a good one and I look forward to the other menus for sure. I do wish more rations had tea though haha. Thanks for watching buddy ATB - Andy

[@bikerman6907]

Great review!👍 it kind of bring back memories from when I was in the norwegian army, back in 1995-96, but the MRE we got was not at all as tasteful as today, where you get, your reviewed chicken tikka, cilli con carne, rice satay, beef stew, different pasta meals... to name a few. Remember we had cod in white sauce, it tasted 😩😩😩😩😩, ie. Terrible!! you had to be really hungry!! 😁 only tasteful ting in there was a quite small dark choccolate. Cheers mate, n keep up!😎

[@KentSurvival]

Hey, thank you :) Im glad you enjoyed the video, I don't like the sound of the cod! haha I am def going to get more of these!

[@bikerman6907]

Kent Survival stay clear of the cod and you will be just fine!😩😂, cheers mate!👍

[@KentSurvival]

haha good advice :)

[@OriginalPuro]

Er du over 40 år og bruker smiletegn som en tenåring? :P Noe skurrer.

[@rebeccaiya8731]

new subscriber.i like exploring food options.this was interesting.ty

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks for watching and subscribing, def lots of food on this channel haha

[@dandantheracingman]

nut cream 😂awesome... another awesome video buddy keep them coming

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks buddy haha :)

[@bowseratvandsmallenginerep6797]

Another great video my friend!

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks buddy

[@michellesovereign4564]

Those cereal bars are in the rationX by evaq8 packs. Never seen them in a Lithuanian ration. Good video. I was thinking of trying these Arctic dehydrated meals. Much lighter to carry. Think I'll have to give it a go now. Cheers ☺

[@wessteele1058]

Much lighter and it seems you get better quantity with freeze dried foods like the lrp or arctic meals

[@pjhikes]

You don't see vitamin tabs very often. In principle it is a good idea, especially for longer duration out of doors. However the dirt on your hands would have had more nutrients then the bread lololol! Great MRE vid. Love the old style military cook kits as well.

[@KentSurvival]

haha, we all ate dirt as kids im sure :p had that mess kit a while so was good to find an excuse to use it, if I had the money I would match a mess kit for every review. Thanks for watching buddy

[@pjhikes]

Matching the kits would be a sweet idea.... get on it bro lol!

[@justingorton9596]

I’m glad that they include a rubbish bag

[@petepetro1]

im interested in these rations...could you start putting a link in the description of where you get them. Great videos, keep up the good work

[@KentSurvival]

Hi, this one was from Germany : www.amazon.de/norwegische-Feldration-Hähnchen-Masala-Notverpflegung/dp/B01EYJ568S/ref=sr_1_33?ie=UTF8&qid=1510843483&sr=8-33&keywords=arctic+ration

[@RalphReagan]

Looks like a good ration. Wish you had one more coffee.

[@steveoutdoorsuk3602]

Hi Andy, Thanks for yet another great, informative video, always looking forward to watching them. Wish I could leave double thumbs up! By the way, and I know that this is probably a silly question but as I am now recovering from an illness I’ll be getting into bushcraft, could you please let me know where can I get myself a chain and pot hook like the one that you use? Many thank mate. ATVB. Steve

[@KentSurvival]

Hi Steve, Thank you :) my chain and hook came with a tripod a while back (as a set with the dutch oven) its called Ronnie sunshines, think I got it on eBay. an alternative could just be a bit of chain from a diy store and a butchers hook would probably work. hope that helps and you get out soon :)

[@steveoutdoorsuk3602]

Cheers mate.

[@wild_outdoors_uk2016]

Nice review where did you get the Norwegian rations from? Jay :)

[@KentSurvival]

Hi, Thank you, this one was from the German amazon if I remember correctly

[@MultiMagnum62]

Great ration, and, review ! All items looked good, the chicken especially did. I could make A good meal out of that. Peace, John, AKA Magnum.

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks buddy :) its a good selection of items, def getting more of these!

[@clifflee5404]

When you said Columbian finest I thought you were talking about the Kate Moss delicatessen. The Scarface mountain. Not coffee lol.

[@evelynmerchant3420]

Lol, laughing at nut cream eh?

[@KentSurvival]

haha I couldn't not :p

[@evelynmerchant3420]

Kent Survival well you made me laugh too, thank you!

[@clifflee5404]

I deleted my other comment since I said the same lol. He may like nutter butter cookies too lol

[@clifflee5404]

Plus he said it was "lovely" after tasting the nut creme.

[@spookyreaper1702]

@@evelynmerchant3420 random question but you still alive? 😂(just checking cause of the rona)

[@KaylynnStrain]

looks like it would taste good, I want to get a Polish canteen and mess kit

[@KentSurvival]

def was good, you should see the mess tins on eBay.. they seem pretty common over here. thanks for watching :)

[@TheConradChannel]

Just catching up on the latest of your videos Andy. I've been eating some "REAL" freeze dried mains while out and about recently. They've been pretty good but I've found there's an unusual taste, common to all of them. Doesn't overpower the meal but makes it just slightly odd. Anyway, I must get some of these actual rations, I've wanted to try them for a while

[@KentSurvival]

Hi mate, thats interesting, I want to try some more so ill try and 'look' out for that, maybe a preservative or part of the freeze drying process). Thanks for watching the vids :)

[@TheConradChannel]

Kent Survival no problem. They're good to watch. I actuslky don't bother to watch much of anything these days apart from a few like yours and some car videos/ music . very selective entertainment. Anyway I think I have two of the mains left, I must read the back of those

[@lindak8664]

That chicken looked like bamboo shoots! 😆

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Have you tried ADF rat packs Andy?. ive tested a few on my channel if you are interested in the comparison. Being British Army, i was surprised of the amount of scoff you get.

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers, I ll check it out, Ive not had one myself, quite a rarity, and expensive when they pop up.

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Really? ill see what i can dig out from stores for you next time i am at depo.

[@wessteele1058]

I've never heard a bad review on the norwegian arctic's yet ,must be decent chow

[@sconjaoutdoors7658]

A nice and tidy well contained little ration pack. Looked like a mix of different bits from a few countries mre's. How easy is it to get hold of one of them bad boys ?. Thanks for sharing Andy. Atb Sconja 👍. NUT CREAM

[@bowseratvandsmallenginerep6797]

Sconja Outdoors 76 these are on the pricier side, check foreignmre.com or eBay. :)

[@sconjaoutdoors7658]

[@stefansprater8259]

Hi Andy, may I ask you where do you usually buy these MRE's from? Greetings from Switzerland, yours Steve

[@KentSurvival]

Hi, i usually get them from ebay or military surplus shops

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Hi mate was that cramp balls on your wind break iv been trying to find some in my location but no luck what do that grow on atb jimmy 😎😎

[@KentSurvival]

Hey, yes, they are just there to keep dry, will be using on the next trip. there is a lot of ash around this part of the woodland and a lot of crampballs, they seem to like the ash... I don't so much in the wind haha

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Kent Survival thanks will look for ash trees tomorrow when at camp atb Jimmy 😎😎

[@ianandersen6757]

Mix coffee and coco makes good drink

[@johngalt234]

How do you find these things?! I've looked, but I don't see the Norwegian ones anywhere.

[@KentSurvival]

Hi John, I actually ordered a couple of these from the German amazon site, accepted via a uk account.

[@ellismeah179]

New sub great vids really enjoyed thumbs ☝form oklahoma usa

[@KentSurvival]

Hey Oklahoma! haha, Thanks for watching and subbing buddy :)

[@karloslowry9043]

Nut cream? 😂😂😂😂

[@garyhertswildcamper8958]

Good vid andy, as ever. but MRE? not exactly flexing your masterchef muscles there mate! i know, there a lot lighter than a dutch oven, fair enough. im off out on my first wildcamp for about 6 weeks tomorrow. hoping for a good sunrise/sunset in the Chilterns. catch you on the next one. Gary.

[@garyhertswildcamper8958]

Hello again Andy. just got back from my room with a view camp. it was fantastic, the sunrise that is. i was pretty well ok dealing with the cold, but might have to invest in some proper base layers. im still in the learning process re cold weather camping. im generally a 3 season, camper and skip the winter. i discovered it was colder in the village when i came back to a frosted windscreen on my van. but enough about me, any plans to make a vid on cold weather camping? i.e base layers, and and staying warm at night. btw, me and my mate reckon we've found your beach camp location, on google earth that is.not actually been there. but dont worry, your secrets safe with us. 50,000 U S D, and we promise not to go public? catch you on the next vid. Gary Disclaimer, im taking the piss, not really attempting to achieve any financial gain.

[@ArmoredGamingZ]

where did you get it? I am norwegian, but can not find them anywhere

[@KentSurvival]

Hi, They are listed on Amazon Germany

[@ArmoredGamingZ]

Kent Survival thank you

@Boy With A Weird Life A dead Captain??

[@nathanthomasstickney8123]

Ni e very good

[@samsworldofrations6996]

Chicken Tikka didn’t make me think mmmm

[@KentSurvival]

haha, Number 1 most popular dish in the UK I think, however, this was a bit of a different interpretation, Nothing wrong with it though. It did remind me of the British rationyellow curry a bit. Thanks for watching :)

[@spaljenimaslacak7663]

Nut creme haha

I would rather have a German ration than school food and I’m American that says something

[@uweinhamburg]

Tikka Masala with hot cacao - any viewers from India on this channel?

[@champagnesylvie-lavieenfra1378]

"healty" chez les Norvégiens

[@KentSurvival]

grandes portions :)

[@andyharpist2938]

Plus three nordic condoms, to wear at all time, and a book about Safety in battle.

[@KentSurvival]

haha

[@EnFyr]

Chicken tikka is the worst of all Norwegian mre's. I highly recomend the wilderness stew or lamb casserole. Even the kebab dish is more worth the money. Trust me, i have eaten all of them multiple times

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks, Ill give them a go at some point :)
