    That drink thing: 3dl = 3 decilitres = 300ml. Continental Europe seems to use decilitres and centilitres a fair bit, whereas us Brits seem to jump straight from millilitres up to litres.

    £20 is a rip off for one meal and a few snacks, Dan. Personally I think you would be better cooking something at home that you can bag up or put in a Tupperware type container to warm up on the camp fire and then take your coffee or hot chocolate fixings. Plenty of cheap protein bars can be kept for a long time in your rucksack just in case you get peckish while walking and forget to pack them. I always used to have a few of them and tea bags coffee and those individual milk pods in my laptop rucksack at at a clients workplace someone will always be happy to give you hot water but you can do yours yourself.

    Currently 5 for £60 on basecamp. Just about reasonable at that I think, not a chance I’d be paying £20. I was at new decathlon store at Bolton t’other day, grabbed a few of their dehydrated meals, looking forward to giving them a whirl.

    Great vid,Dan.
    Love these ration pack vids,especially when you get one that you’re not keen on.
    £20.00 is just too much though,for what you’re getting.
    I’ll stick to my British Army 24 hour ration packs for £7.00 each,from Strikeforce Uk,I think.
    Give ‘em a try.
    ‘Cheap as chips’.
    All the best.

    Definitely think these meal reviews are better done outdoors in the woods. Adds a more realistic feel to the video.
    Thanks again for some useful info and recommendations, Dan.

    Are you sure there is enough food in those baggies for you? I like my food as well and plenty of it although I do admit that on a backpacking trip last year I did do the rehydrate meals and it wasn't as bad as I had thought it might be.

    £20 😮 seriously? there is no way on this earth I'd pay that much for an already out of date single meal single coffee (and not a lot else) ration pack, you can see where the money goes with them, it's all packaging and pseudo survival rubbish, compare that to a £10 uk ration pack and you'll see a massive difference, good video as always though 😉 keep up the good work

    Nice quick video mate but £19 odd for that poxy lot? Absolute rip off Dan, I personally try to make my own as best I can using mylar bags, that way I've got a great chunky meal to look forward to to heat up for tea time.
    Actually, there's a challenge for you, do a few vids trying to make your own rat pack bud.

    I really love these packs. Also the best before dates are only for the bars and candy… the meals are much longer good….they have a different date on them its printed on the top of the bag. I love the chicken curry…. all the packs have different extras. Sometimes there also breath with nutella in it…. love it!
