Military Ration Packs and MREs from Around the World. Latvian Field Ration, Menu 7.

In this video, I am in a favourite local woodland to devour another ration pack - this one is a Latvian Field Ration, menu number 7.
As you know, I love the excitement and surprise I get from opening up a sealed military ration pack - they are all so different, some are full of a wide range of high calorie tasty foods to keep a soldier marching all day long, others are less elaborate, but all are good fun and a very convenient. Long lasting food option for trips.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching.

Watching Simon's videos is second nature to us now, like breathing out and breathing in. From the time you showed us your rucksack, built your cedar strip, shared Maggie, won the challenge, took us to Sweden, ate your way through ration packs to showing us the Norfolk Broads and coast, you have paddled, sewed, hiked, eaten, bushed and crafted your way into our hearts. We've very definitely grown accustomed to your face, and you always put a smile on ours :)

Watching from Latvia - glad the rations meet with your approval. I suspect at this time of year any self-respecting Latvian soldier in the forest would add a few mushrooms to that stew!

Next time you get dry bread try setting it atop your hot beverage to steam it a little. Might help it. Thanks for sharing another ration with us. I love these videos.

A new Simon video! Simon, your followers look forward to your videos every week. It has become a part of our routine. Such simple topics and adventures that are presented in a friendly, personal manner. They very much remind me of watching Bob Ross painting programs. Every week, all he did was paint a landscape, but every week, I was there with him. It is programming like yours that caused many of us to stop watching television.

@lscblackwell9202 8 ай бұрын

I absolutely love a ration pack video. I don't know why but it's just so neat to see them unpacked and all the neat little things that come with them. And my favorites are the ones that are written in the language of their native country so it's a mystery to everyone until the packets are opened. This one looked very nice and pretty tasty! But honestly, Simon, I would watch you sit in a mud puddle and eat bargain basement peanut butter on thin cardboard (but please don't do that !😂) It's always a great day when Simon puts out a post! 🧡🧡👍👍☺☺
