Unboxing the Arctic MRE That Will Keep You Alive at -50C

Since you liked this I suggest trying a British ORP (Operational Ration Pack) sometime, you'll be glad you did!

[@MARKIEBANUNCE]

Where can I get one

[@TheQuantumPotato]

Honestly, I think I'd be pretty dissapointed if I got sent off to Siberia with this ration. Sure, there are a lot of calories, but it looks like a good portion of that is coming from stuff like the sugar and sweetened condensed milk. There doesn't seem to be anything really substantial in it aside from the meat and potatoes for dinner. I think I'd want lots of stodgy stuff which I could heat up. Dehydrated stews and stuff like that. Not to mention the fact that at -50 I'm guessing a lot of this stuff like the sweetened condensed milk and fruit bars would be frozen solid and it's not really in a form that you could easily thaw out over a fire or something. Same with the cheese spread - I don't imagine cheese spread that's been frozen and reheated would be particularly great, I'm pretty sure it would split. The dehydrated soup is a good idea, but why not throw a bunch of those in, at least one to go with every meal? Hot soup is exactly the kind of thing you'd want and they take up hardly any weight and space and cost next to nothing. I dunno, just seems like they made a lot of very odd choices for an arctic ration.

[@MREScout]

The oatmeal was nice, the beef and potatoes I actually still have in my bugout bag. I would have thought so too, the beans were quite hearty.

[@FrikInCasualMode]

There's also some proteins and fat in the nuts. But yeah, that ration looks suspiciously tourist-y. Plenty of snacks in pretty packages, but little actual substance. Porridge might taste nice, but it won't keep you running for long in - 50 degrees.

[@ImageLimestone]

Given recent events, it should be a reasonable conclusion that Russia doesn't give a shit about her troops.

[@larrymixer144]

Need a combination of high fat and high carb foods. The carbs for quick energy and fats for a longer duration of energy source. Soups are good if you can source water because in low temperatures you may dehydrate just as fast as in the desert, the cold temperatures will also tend to mask the dehydration setting in.

[@tinsoldier5621]

I agree. Very little thought went into this ration. I live in Los Angeles and I'm a big guy at 6'5 and I need a minimum of 5000 calories per day. In Arctic training I was eating 10,000 per day and still lost weight.

[@iamcondescending]

For the breakfast, I'd be mixing the Nutella and the condensed milk together, then pouring all of it into the coffee. Make a super calorie-dense breakfast beverage.

[@TheRealAnarchrox]

Couple of tips here. Google has a function for your phone (I believe if you download their translate app) that will translate selected foreign languages with your camera. Should help deciphering what's what. The sweetened condensed milk is a good sugar and milk substitute in your coffee or tea. If you take it, crush a biscuit down to crumbs and add some of that hazelnut spread or cocoa powder, mix it up nice and then let it chill, you're likely to end up with a nice sweet fudge biscuit.

[@jeromethiel4323]

I've always recommended baked beans as a survival food. The cans last a long time, it's full of calories and protein, and has fiber. As a plus, baked beans can be eaten hot or cold, and tastes just fine either way. A can of Bushes baked beans is enough calories for a full day for an adult. A dozen cans of baked beans, a half dozen cans of spam, and a case (24) cans of canned brown bread and you could survive quite a while with minimal to no upkeep or cooking required. You would have to supplement with fresh food or vitamin tablets for essential nutrients, but from a caloric and protein requirement, you'd be fine.

[@marka4891]

Some of these combos would be handy to use to put together a homemade MRE of sorts. Especially for going on a day hike or breakfast for car camping in the cold, maybe a fishing trip or even just an easy-to-eat-at-a-rest-area meal for roadtrips.

[@CrazyPalidin57]

I did something similar, pack away things that hold up in high heat conditions in a mylar bag and throw a oxygen absorber in it. Works great for a backup plan for hurricane season where im at. Or as you suggested a last minute road trip meal.

That "corn starch" is labelled "Napitok", which translates as "drink" - admittedly a very broad category :) It also states "dry fat content" as 25%, so my guess would be it's something based on milk powder, so I'd expect it to be similar to some kind of protein shake or the like.

maybe its written already, but 20:22 is powdered milk i think, it can be drink as a milk , or added to other stuff, coffee , tea, the oat meal, or as a dip for the biscuits.

[@Raycheetah]

I thought that looked like creamer! =^[.]^=

[@fiedel]

It says "drink" on the label, so I'd expect it to be a little bit more than just milk powder, but yes, based on dried milk, as I can't think of anything else that results in 25% dry fat content. I'm sure it will also do for a good coffee whitener, but with the sweet condense milk there's not really much need for that.
