army food around the world
 

i wonder why there is not so much kits to purity water...

Interesting!
The swedish army food is not like it was when I was in the army about 25 years ago.

Pea soup with pork. Yummy :)

Opex - Ration de survie militaire armée française: Amazon.fr: Sports et Loisirs

(expensive)

hmm thanks, i have found uk army 24h food kit for 8uk pounds, not that bad for food for one day imho :)

I still have surplus dry food from army. Old cinnamon porridge, yummy. :)

Those kits have surprisingly much canned foods; those are pain in the ass to haul around.

I bet the Mexican, Chinese and Indian ones are the best but they don't seem to have been included.....

Worst would be Russian and North Korean..... not being racist or anything... :)

here is a north korean food ration

Mexican, Chinese and Indian? Come on, it is not some takeout restaurant, it is war (or practising it).

No, it is in here:

Hot dooog... where are the onions, ketchup and mustard... those poor N. Koreans, it must be awful for them!!!

When I was in the Marines the big thing everyone wanted out in the field was coffee. Me, I couldn't stand coffee so I always traded it for hot chocolate.

How long is a ration pack supposed to last?

oh it's a daily ration pack - soldiers eating pretty good!

soldiers can be out in the field for weeks - how many of those can they carry along with all the other shit they have to lug around?

when i was in the army, up to 3 (but i wasn't an elite soldier)

Thanks for reminding me why I never joined armed forces

US Forces MREs are created to stuff you up so you can't take a shit worth a damn till you get some Ex Lax.

Looks like New Zealand army go for beach day trips :1orglaugh

As much as necessary (within limits). When we prepared to be several days out, we didn't take that kind of packs per se. We selected what we wanted and left rest at the barracks. I still have the left behind stuff at my home. No one asked us to give that unused stuff back, they just assumed we used it all and didn't care for leftovers.

Usually we left quite much canned stuff behind (heaviest one) and also some shitty dry foods. Some fucking cheese soups, come on; I hate cheese soup. I think that we didn't carry more than five days worth of food or so at any given time. If the battle exercise was serious shit, the limit comes from being awake 3 days in a row, not from the lack of the food.

During WWII, long range recons had previously made stacks and resupplys with plane droppings.

They have an army? :)

Also I thought there are various packed lunches for different situations. At least in Russia it is: https://translate.google.com/transla...tml&edit-text=

Regular one (3110 kcal):

etc...

Wow they've even supplied condoms... where do I sign? :)

Good to see that the army does think about those under weight, the gain one :2 cents:

lol, I think the condoms are for water tight kitting, not for the casual sex :winkwink:
