My first review with a new HD camera and introducing an incredible variety of old U.S. rations up for review. This FPA review is not only an exciting look at an extremely uncommon ration, but also one that has some beautifully preserved components. The Food Packet Assault is the predecessor to the MCI and LRP (Meal, Combat, Individual) (Food Packet, Long Range Patrol) and was essentially a K Ration of the 1950's. A fascinating and transitional ration, a rare treat - true military food art. PS - I didn't realize until long after the shoot that those water purification tablets were missing from the ration. Noting it here and hoping someone can pass that along to anyone wondering about this in the comments. For correspondence, or to send a Military Ration for review, my exact mailing information is: Steve1989 3616 Harden Blvd 360 Lakeland, FL 33803 https://www.patreon.com/user?u=2821334&ty=h https://teespring.com/stores/steve1989

    @Steve1989MREمنذ 3 سنوات Howdy folks, after a little extra time learning how to use some various new equipment and some technical issues resolved, this video is finally ready and id="hidden1" class="buttons"> the upgrades have come to fruition.
    Now instead of using two cameras, things are simplified back to one like in 2016-17.
    This alone is going to make production significantly less complicated. I'm happy with the quality, and I hope you will be to.
    This Food Packet Assault was a real gem - something that I've not reviewed in over 5 years now. For every fifty K Rations out there, you'll maybe find one of these. Speaking of K Rations, this is very much like a K Ration of the 1950's. The beginning part of this video shows some various ration correlations and I encourage anyone interested in this to not skip around on that initial part of the video. Hope you enjoy! Alright cool, see ya.

    @stevecastro1325منذ 2 سنوات I served on forest fire crews in the early 80s, and there were times when we would have these airdropped to us until we could get to Basecamp some days id="hidden4" class="buttons"> later. A lot of the rations had dates from the 50s and 60s, but as long as it smells OK and the can was not bulged, we ate it. ....وسعت 186

The cheeses we used to bait mouse traps. That bag was in our garage for years. There were hundreds of those little flat green cans in there.
