US MRE FOOD TEST

So a change from the usual dinner I decided to try one of the US MRE meals just to see what I have invested in. So the meal in question is the "Menu 4 Maple Sausage"


Tasty looking isn't it! Well you will soon find out. 

Lets look to see what you get in the bag, which by the way is very robust. 


So we have a breakfast of Granola with milk and blueberries (yet to be tested) main meal is the of course the Maple Sausage and in between that you can have a muffin top or crackers. Also included is jam, peanut butter a small pack with coffee, salt, sugar, gum, spoon and of course the flame less heater. 

Now remember these meals are for our work horse armed forces so needs to be packed full of all sorts. 

So this is what your main meal looks like and to be honest tasted good. 


Now after I finished this off I tackled the muffin top with syrup which was a little dry without the syrup but hey who doesn't like syrup. 


Now for the crackers. I will admit this was my first time eating peanut butter and again I can't complain about it and I would have it again. The only thing is the crackers do leave you wanting some water. 



All in all I enjoyed this one and I think I have a good investment in some camping food or food for an emergency. 

I hope you have enjoyed this blog, please comment and share.

Pruning your life (Thought for the week)

Today I decided to prune the tomato plants I have been growing over the last few months and hiding in the back was this tomato just getting on its way. 

This got me thinking, in life we have so much going on and so many things take up our time. These things are not always good. So from time to time we have to get cutting. For some it's making more time for family, for others it's remembering your friends and those who have helped you get where you are today. 

Or is there things or people you need to cut from your life? People who may have a bad influence on you.. 

Whatever you need do always look before you cut or you can find ourself cutting away the good fruit. 

Have a good weekend guys!
