i'm really excited about this kit and everything that it has included in it
how's it going guys welcome back to the pilot patriot channel today we're going to be looking
at another emergency food kit these are going to be civilian mres from a company called meal kit
supply now we have done a video on some sapaco emergency ration kits in the past and that was
kind of an abbreviated mre it didn't have all the same stuff that your traditional military
mre would have in it now these kits from meal kit supply are supposed to be some of the closest you
can get to an actual military mre if you like these kind of videos guys make sure you hit that
subscribe button down below hit that notification bell and give us a thumbs up we really appreciate
that and don't forget we do have a big giveaway going on right now i will put a link to that
video right here at the top of the screen so make sure you check that out too now this case for meal
kit supply is going to have 12 meals in it each meal is going to be a three-course meal and just
like the military mres these are going to have a five-year shelf life or more depending on how well
you store it inside each pouch in this kit you're gonna have an entree a side dish a dessert bread
and a spread a cold drink mix hot drink mix some condiments spoon napkin and wet nap
and then obviously your flameless ration heater so let's go ahead and break this box up and
see what we got inside all right now remember guys it's going to be kind of luck of the draw
as to what you get in the kit meal kit supply has several different menus doesn't guarantee
you're going to get everything in every case and right off the bat here guys you can already tell
it looks a lot like a military mre it's going to be the same style packaging and everything
let's see what we have here we have a apple maple oatmeal and applesauce now these meal kit supply
cases are gonna come with some breakfast kits as well we have uh hash browns and bacon with
a pork sausage patty that sounds pretty good vegetarian taco pasta with black beans and sauce
another hash browns and bacon with applesauce apple maple oatmeal with a cherry blueberry
cobbler there's a classic beef ravioli and some applesauce elbow macaroni and tomato sauce and
some all groton potatoes that sounds really good chili with beans and a santa fe rice and beans
meatballs and marinara sauce and black beans and sauce there's another classic menu there
beef ravioli and applesauce cheese tortellini and santa fe rice and beans and then a spaghetti
with all groton potatoes all right guys overall i'd say there's a pretty good variety in there
now the one i chose to actually open up here is going to be the spaghetti with all groton potatoes
so we're just going to open this up and see what we have inside
all right inside we have everything in a vacuum sealed
plastic all right first thing i pulled out here is gonna be the spaghetti and beef
we have some nutritional facts for the all groton potatoes i have a blackberry jam
this is gonna be our grape beverage powder and it's going to be a milk chocolate cocoa
beverage powder that's hot chocolate this is our all groton potatoes there's our flameless heater
this one's actually made by sapaco so that's the same one that comes in the military kits
all our accessory pack then we have a lemon poppy seed pound cake some crackers and then just a
cardboard sleeve to put that hot uh spaghetti in after it cooks all right guys so first thing
we're going to do here is go ahead and get our spaghetti cooking just going to mix it up a little
bit inside the pouch there i'm going to tear open our flameless heater and it does have a fill line
down here at the bottom so you fill water to that line it doesn't require very much water at all
so we'll just go ahead and pour our water in and we're going to drop the spaghetti in there
almost forgot my all groton potatoes we're going to go ahead and drop them in that same
pouch so all of it can be cooking together roll it up now they do recommend that you uh
kind of prop this up while it's cooking so we'll go ahead and just prop that up right
here and we'll just go ahead and get our little camp set out here all right first i think i'm
going to take a look at these crackers now looks like it's just going to be standard mre crackers
and you can really hear that seal breaking as you open it up
as you can tell the crackers didn't hold up too well it's really broken up
no big deal i'm sure it'll taste the same just going to be a little bit
harder to get our blackberry spread on there blackberry jam let's go ahead and open up our
accessory pack and just see what all is in here we have a regular mre spoon and napkin we have
some freeze-dried instant coffee some creamer moist towelette then some sugar and salt and
pepper let's open up that blackberry jam and see if we can spread it on what's left of this cracker
here it looks good but uh it's gonna be kind of hard to eat with these crackers that are falling
apart we'll give it a try here though it tastes delicious the cracker tastes fresh and everything
jam tastes good no complaints there let's check out our drinks here so the first one
we have here is our great beverage powder you can see how that looks down in there
and here's our chocolate both of those look good
now i will say that chocolate powder is not dissolving very good in the water of course
on the pouch it actually tells you to fill water to this line and then shake it up it does it is
have a zipper closure so you can add the water to that line and shake it to mix i did not do that
because i wanted to show you guys what it looked like before and maybe i just did that wrong now
let's take a look at this pound cake this lemon and poppy seed pound cake take a look at that
check that out it's really really moist i did not expect that it really feels like pound cake
super moist let's take a bite
well that's very very good very moist tastes delicious super fresh
big fan of that these are things you didn't see in that other kit that we reviewed no
it didn't have it had a pop tart in it but it didn't have any kind of cake
dessert it didn't have the drink powder and it didn't have the side dish i'm really
excited about this kit and everything that it has included in it let's give our grape drink a taste
very good just like tastes like grape kool-aid basically
uh now this chocolate drink never really did fully dissolve but uh we'll go ahead and give it a taste
it tastes really good tastes like chocolate milk i assume that if you uh were to boil
your water or heat your water up beforehand it would definitely dissolve a lot better but the
taste is good and that's the main thing the crackers like i said they taste good the uh
blackberry jam is good kind of disappointed with the cracker falling apart like that but what can
you expect out of such a tightly packed little pouch all right guys it's been about 15 minutes
i can really feel the heat in this thing i think it did a pretty good job of heating up
now i don't know how well it does since i had two pouches in there we'll see about that
but i don't know how else to do it when you have two separate things to cook now the spaghetti
does feel nice and warm uh the potatoes not so much and that's probably because the spaghetti
was closest to the heater in the pouch let's go ahead and get this spaghetti opened up
all right yeah that looks pretty good now let's go ahead and get this out onto our plate here
all right yeah that that looks really good it looks like what you would expect from an mre
definitely good texture some big chunks of beef in there let's go ahead and give that a try yeah very
good so i think i do want to definitely put some of the salt and pepper that they gave us on here
yep i think that's really good nice thick sauce not bad at all
now let's check out these potatoes and this is something i really like here i if you watched
our other video of the emergency ration meals they only had the one entree it didn't have a side item
and that's what those all groton potatoes look like let's go ahead and get them on our plate too
yeah that looks good nice thick cheese sauce on there
the taste is good the cheese to me almost seems like a nacho cheese or something like that
but it is good um it's not near as warm as the spaghetti
and that's probably just because i was trying to cook both of them at the same time in the pouch
but still the taste is very good but there you go guys that's everything that came in the meal
kit supply meal ready to eat now that is a ton of food for one person you could easily stretch
this out over a couple different meals even share with another person i think that would be plenty
but like i said the taste is good the freshness of everything is very good overall guys i am
pleasantly surprised with everything that comes in the kit very very similar to what you would expect
from a military mre now if you guys excuse me for a minute i'm gonna go ahead and finish this up
delicious all right guys that's it for our civilian mres from meal kit supply
