French Individual Freeze-Dried Ration (R.I.L.) Menu 1: Fish With Provencal Herbs and Deer Paté

[@charliehotel2286]

Yesterday morning I said 'Man Gusto hasn't done a video in a long time. I hope he's okay'. Then today we get a video. Great timing!

“Quiet now gentlemen, it is alive.” Pvt. John Wringer -Stripes- Welcome Back!!!

[@rcgusto2427]

gundog4314 thank you Gundog! I had to take a break while the kids were out of school. It’s impossible to shoot vids with a couple of crazy kids running around. Also took a vacation with my wife for her 40th. I’ve been filming for the past two days, more tomorrow and Thursday

[@samsworldofrations6996]

The bag resealable was great idea. Some old favourites in the bag with some new ones👍

[@annamaysdaddy]

Gusto I noticed you like the word Tasty! Keep up the good work man love the videos! As a retired military man I like to see what foreign soldiers get to eat in the field!

[@rockyraab8290]

Welcome back, RC. Very clever closure device, which may have worked well on the disappointingly ungusseted muesli bag. That fish and rice is the only dried meal I've ever seen that did not come out soupy with the recommended amount of water. Looked great, too.

[@Andovarius]

Great to see Gusto back in action!

[@Jamasterev]

I'm glad you're back!

[@mahamtauqir152]

Hi

[@mahamtauqir152]

[@MichaelGreenReviews]

[@whiteedk]

Welcome back and happy birthday. What a great day to return

[@shearerslegs]

Thank you for this review I have never seen a French freeze dried ration before. I hope you’re having a good birthday.

[@BTemple]

Awesome to have you back man!

[@riggin99]

Welcome back, good to see a new post.

[@chucko1732]

Welcome back! Thanks for the great video. I love watching reviews on all the French rations.

[@vansantos4325]

Great stuff man, I wish you were still making videos.

[@293condor]

You are still the best, you were missed..

[@nathanskies614]

Well I found this through one of SteveMREs videos and I'm glad I came here :)

[@thtoxicwof3611]

Any steve1989 fans here?

[@simonmikkelsen]

I love the bumble bee bowl.

[@JenniferinIllinois]

I'm nowhere near finished with your older videos but seeing a new one from you means I'll just skip ahead! :) How interesting that this is a French ration considering the last videos I watched was your 3 part RCIR review. :) Vive la France! Oh, welcome back and happy birthday Gusto! :)

[@rcgusto2427]

Little Jenny thank you!

[@mbarreto8133]

Nicely done!! Keep them coming

[@the_broly_arms]

Everything was going so well until the sound of your spoon digging into that deer pate. But that fish main looked incredible! Great to have you back, RC!

[@KahlestEnoch]

Hey welcome back Gusto. I haven't seen a french freeze dried ration before very cool ration. Breakfast looked good. The soup is nice and thick. I don't eat fish but the main looks good. thanks for the great review.

[@mikenauer2403]

welcome back hope vacation was great

[@GuppyCzar]

Welcome back Gusto! There were people in recent chats saying you were done for good. Shows what they knew!

[@rcgusto2427]

Game Czar no way! Just took the summer off since the kids were out of school. It’s damn near impossible to shoot a video with screaming kids running around

[@goodi2shooz]

Welcome back! Very interesting ration to come back with

[@stephanieann6622]

I'm so glad you're back! I know I've definitely missed you and your reviews!

[@samsworldofrations6996]

The broth looked nice and hearty, good in the cold climate 👍

[@carstenmichel8905]

Nice Review Gusto and welcome back. This Ration looks really tasty.

[@justinjordan7449]

Welcome back gusto we missed the hell outta you man.

[@boaboy8052]

Happy birthday RC

[@deliciousMRE]

Glad to see you back ! This is an interesting ration, I've never had one of these. The freeze-dried versioan seems to be as tasty as the regular one

[@golemcone]

+RC Gusto good to see you back. Great review! I was a little worried that you may suffer the same fate as Kiwi Dude. Too bad we didn't hear from him for almost 2 years.

[@rcgusto2427]

golemcone no way. I just took a summer break. Kids/vacation, etc. you should see the mountain of stuff I have to review. Big plans.

[@zafkhan4796]

I was just about to ask where have you been. Great to have you back. Greetings from South Africa

[@andreabarnfather8972]

I'm busy munching my way through a tinned one, looking forward to comparing the two :)

[@nuked99]

Everything looked really good RC Gusto and glad to see a video from you again. I would love to know what that fish main tasted like since i like the odd stuff and the soups looked really good too. Great review and i give 2 thumbs up just for the bumblebee bowl. I love that damn thing!

[@Petertronic]

Very interesting ration, great video. Glad you are back!

[@ZombieBitesAgain]

wow theres a stranger damn nice video and review on the mre glad to see you back man 😁

[@TheEvilEve2012]

Welcome back!!!

[@MrSQAUD]

big like for the bumbllebee bowl.

[@tracyphillips3325]

Great review, glad you're back 👍👍

[@sharonmaurer2882]

Hey Gusto you are back. We were just talking about you last week in Old Smokeys live stream. We wasnt sure if you were still reviewing. So glad to see you back. Hub and i went on vacation a few weeks ago and finally got to the Steven Udvar Hazy Center in Chantilly. It was pretty awesome:)

[@rcgusto2427]

sharon maurer that museum is my happy place. You saw my video on that, right?

[@sharonmaurer2882]

Yes i saw your video when it came out. Thats why when we went on our vacation. We went to Williamsburg for a day. A couple days in DC and i suggested the Museum to him since hes into Air and Space. He can talk hours about Military Planes etc:) So i showed him some of your video so we went there:) So glad you are back. Oldsmokey has been doing livestreams and they are so much fun. Hes next one is this Thursday i believe he said at eight pm. Sometimes gundog, gschultz stickyfingaz and others hang out. Perhaps you can check it out:)

[@rcgusto2427]

sharon maurer I was there for most of last week’s. I may start doing them as well. They look like fun

[@sharonmaurer2882]

Oh cool i missed that one. They are fun, cuz you can do it as short or long as you want. As you see he chats and continues to do the ration. I like it cuz a lot of regular viewers are there so we are getting to know each other and chat while he does the review. Would love to see you do them:)

[@christophernegus]

Welcome back

[@KaylynnStrain]

looks good, would have to find one of these that didn't have pork in it. I got a Lithuanian ration coming up as well as a halal US MRE saag chole with lamb--been wanting this one for a while

[@TheEvilEve2012]

Your hands look tanned and relaxed you must have been on vacation ;)

[@stephanieann6622]

Eve Black I do believe he is still a nurse and if so I unfortunately don't think its a vacation lol especially if he's an ER nurse. Its so hard to get vacations when you're a MA(medical assistant) and higher up unless you got seniority. Then you may be able to lol. I am just glad he's back. I think we can agree that we missed him.

[@TheEvilEve2012]

OH I said that because at the beginning of the vid he said he was on vacation

[@NathansMRE]

Good review man, everything looked perfect !

[@rcgusto2427]

Nathan's MRE thanks! I’ve been enjoying your content. Good work

[@christophernegus]

Happy birthday

[@ladybassplayer23]

Welcome back rc. 😎😎

[@Joe.Rogan.]

Welcome back bro!

[@onepercenter13]

I would have mixed the apricot jam in with the Muesli

[@SKRWildfire]

i never understand the hot water to the muesli....

[@deregulationIC]

YUR BACK lets goooooo

[@jokker03]

so cereal aisles in western Europe consist of 7 boxes of various flavors of Muesli? No wonder so much Reeces Peanut Butter Cup cereal gets smuggled back across the pond.

[@markswishereatsstuff2500]

MX3 Aventure website has a boatload of pouches with shipping to US. Am surely tempted.

[@rcgusto2427]

Mark Swisher you won’t be disappointed. They’re up to scratch with mountain house

[@roadtorio12345]

What site did you visit? Mx3.fr does not appear to have shipping to the US.

[@mahamtauqir152]

Well done France

[@noggie42]

"Don't be tempted to heat that up, it'll explode."

[@samsworldofrations6996]

Great review 👍

[@kupari906]

Great to see you back, Gusto! Looking forward to more fantastic reviews!

[@RalphReagan]

good looking

[@perfection4749]

How’s those teeth after the “gofor” energy bar?? 😂😂

[@SafetyOptional]

It's about time!

[@rcgusto2427]

Safety Optional damn straight

[@intense_pickle]

The man has a right to take some time for his family...Who are you to be like "it's about time!" like you're entitled to something...STFU and wait like everyone else!

[@SafetyOptional]

intense_pickle I’m glad you’re standing up for him. He needs all the help he can get. You can’t tell tell lighthearted ribbing in a comment. RC Gusto is my best buddy so one part of the reason he’s been behind is because he’s been helping me with a project.

[@rcgusto2427]

intense_pickle he’s my best friend...I expect no less from him. He’s been bugging me to get content out for at least a month. You can check out the project we have been working on at his channel: Safety Optional. It’s has been a great time!

[@sarjim4381]

I hope you and the wife had a great vacation. Deer pate? That's one I haven't had before. You have a distracting background noise that cuts in and out as you speak. Maybe the A/C?

[@rcgusto2427]

Sar Jim yeah. It’s the AC. The return is in the corner of the room I use.

[@sarjim4381]

That's what I thought. I stopped the video once just to confirm it wasn't coming from me. It's not a problem hearing or understanding you, just a little distracting. I don't know what you can do about it though. It's 95 here now with a heat index of 103. I'd run the A/C and just hope for the best.

[@zuseable]

Beau's lines are horizontal lines in finger nails google it

[@rcgusto2427]

zuseable its a median nail dystrophy due to a subconscious habit of scratching at the base of my thumbnails. You will notice that it is not present on any of my other nails, as would be present with beau’s lines. I did more than google it...I went to medical school and did an internal medicine residency.

[@mexicanforever6647]

I love your videos man

[@kevinpatrickcarey3741]

this looks more civilian than military

[@dungeonmasterforhire3817]

Of course no stove, fuel or water purification tablets...oh that's right in any combat situation the french "soldier" can always go to any local store & get hot water.. sheesh.

[@chrislebeck]

You must have been hiding out with gundog. You've both been missing

[@TheLoxxxton]

Where ya been gusto? Guessing life got involved! Damn life is a bitch

[@mwinton1986]

Good review but not Steve 🤗

[@rcgusto2427]

Mormorda 666 nope. I’m not Steve

[@mwinton1986]

RC Gusto still good though dude, it’s just that Steve has this special quality about him lol. I’ve tried the French ration (box version) & it was great. The coffee is pure trash though lol deffinately the worse bit of the ration.

[@秋山博之-l7q]

Welcome back
