MRE Review: British 12 Hour Patrol Ration - Spicy Sausage 

Hey Andy, big fan of your videos. I’m currently on a nightly binge of watching from your earliest videos, to current ones. How about another one of these MRE reviews in 2024?

Excellent review! Looked really good! Thanks

good selection of stuff in the 24 hour packs ,new ones now coming in bags

You make awesome videos. I prefer your camp / cooking videos over your MRE review videos though. truthfully i've never been able to watch a whole MRE review video before. but you have such a calm / cool demeanor about you i actually sat tru several of yours lol. also once you were doing a cooking or camp video and light the fire with a lighter nd said somthing like i'm hungry so i'll use the lighter no time to fight the ferro rod or soemthing. that was awesome lol. if i've got a lighter or matches im not gonna waste time with a ferro rod and ive seen a million videos with people aming fires with them already lol. Great videos. i'll be subbed for a long time :)

Love your videos

I’m ex British Army I served when we still had tinned 24 hr rat packs only 4 menu ,the first boil in the bag rat packs were tons better ..but still not perfect , the biggest problem was rat pack fatigue we always got the same menu a few days on the bounce , couldn’t do swaps when the crew had all the same menu lol ,it’s good to see the MOD have improved the weight and bulk issues, i tried a new rat pack a couple of years ago ....wow outstanding I know us old vets say “ back in our day “ but the modern solider should see what we ate, carried and wore 😂 . I’m a new subscriber to your channel keep up the really good reviews 👍

Looks like a very small meal for a soldier who’s been running around the whole day? I’ll eat two or three of those packs.

Hi Andy great video well done those 12 hr packs a great and very nice and merry Christmas sir hope ya having a good one

Good review!!! 👍😊👍

👍Everything on that menu looks awesome I'll order that menu whenever I can

Nice review Andy didn't realise they made spicy sausage and wedges will have to try that one out. Take care cheers Karl

Thanks for sharing mate. I still say you make the best MRE videos on RU-vid, always check them out. This one looked good. I'm not a huge fan of beyond the beaten track, as I had a few really bad meals from them a while back. I want to try some of their FRHs though. Will had a pouch of that fruit and fun at Dover, we were cracking up lol. Well done again mate, and you've changed your intro jingle, how come? !

Happy new year Andy, last couple of British mres that I've had have been terrible , proberly the surplus place I've been getting them from. Going forward into this year taking real food wild camping ,no processed stuff anymore , all best Will🍻

Great review. 2 thumbs up.

fab review again, keep 'em coming Andy ....really interesting. Love to see a review on Chinese army MRE ?

Great review Andy hope santa was good to you he got me a dutch oven cant wait to try the bad boy

Excellent review mate! I have always wanted to try one of the British rations either one of these or the 24 hour packs. I've never seen a 3 in 1 tea before, I've seen plenty of 3 in 1 coffee's though. It looks like a pretty well rounded ration. :)

I normally have a 24 hr version for when i go camping did not know about a 12 hr version like you i am not keen on peanut butter . . Thanks for sharing another great video

looked nice and tasty great review bud

Pretty flash when I remember the ones we got in Aust Army. This was b4 mre. It was all canned like sausage n veg. Sachet instant mash 4 pieces chewing gum. Two fruits in a can. Teabags ( not that powdered tea lol) coffee sugar. Condensed milk and jams in tubes. Can of cheese like that Kraft cheese that is in a box. Can of biscuits. And a pack (or2? Cant remember was 30 yr ago) of survival biscuits much like thos RAF ones in tin by appearance..hard tack ships bickies basically. Can opener/spoon. Oh a bag of lollies sweets. May have been more I cant remember. I never ate a lot of it lol

Another 10/10 video from my favourite RU-vid channel ❤️🅰️

Pg do instant tea it's alright to be fair I use it and full fat milk powder in a Stanley cook kit as my little tea pot at camp and just portion it out in little sealer bags per pot and stash any spare space in the brew/cook kit with a cup and alcohol burner....works a treat with no tea soggy tea bags

Great video.Shalom

had ten man rat packs in cadets in oz . trying to get rid of left overs from ww2 I reckon . tins of stew and tins of peeled potatoes . just made a big stew out of it . there were even tins of plum pudding .

I'm currently collecting 24 mres some really good ones variety of snacks and meals ,good to keep for emergencys ,

I am so glad that they didn't come my way when I was in the Army. They had just come in not long before i had left. I am afraid it would starve on excercise with most of the menus. I used to love the old rat packs with tins of sausages, bacon grill steak and kidney. With a packet of Rolos and the tinned puddings. they were more to my simple tastes when it comes to food. nearly forgot the Friut biscuits and the Biscuit Browns that you could kill the enermy with. I could takle them so often had extras as most won't touch them.

Nice looking meal

I had the peanuts in my halal 12-hour ration, thought they were good, I had the halal chicken wiht dhal. if you have not had that one you'd love it if you like curry. I saved my peanut butter for later use either on a camping trip or in an emergency kit, did the same with the extra drink mix

Wow man, no Chocolate biscuits with peanut butter. I'm furious. But there you go. ✌️

Nice you whip your hands on the review bu😢not any other time ya I noticed

The fruit pouch is commonly known as clown sp#nk. This is die to the multi coloured lids :)

Are these MRE's able to be shipped over the pond? Someday I would like to get a couple. This looked more palatable over some other MRE. :)

You could put the peanut butter on the cookies to enhance the flavor.

J'ai un penchant pour la ration Anglaise, ça me rappelle mes voyages en Angleterre ;)

Just ate one of these and put it up on my channel, wasn't actually that bad at all!

I bet the old buscuit browns wouldn't have broken that easily lol

put the peanut butter on the biscuits would work

The 300g main meal is a bit small. I’d have preferred a larger meal and less snacks, fewer beverage choices.

Where do you get these from? Do you know anywhere online you can get them delivered in the UK?

I have A menu 4, chicken tikka masala here in A 12 hr. ration, Menu 13 here, in 24 hr. ration, pork sausage with beans, tuna bean pasta, beef meatballs with spaghetti here, in the British rations. Hope mine looks as well as yours? Plenty of food you have there, 12 plus hours ration! Instant tea is, better than no tea, same as coffee to us yanks, instant is better than none. The 24 hr. British ration, has the D&E coffee in it everyone speaks so highly of, can't wait! Main looked awesome, all looked highly edible ! I would make this A meal, well, or 2!! LOL. Very cool friend!! Belated Merry Christmas to you and yours, and A Happy New Year!! Peace, John, AKA Magnum.

What stove is that? Its really cool. I thought I heard you say "pixie stove" but I cant find it after searching google.

I served for 12 years in the military as an infantry soldier, I only left 18 months ago and I have never seen "spicy sausage and potato wedges" on any menu. I can imagine the MOD thought it was too tasty so never issued it out, 90% of the rations we got were dog shit, if you'll pardon the french.

Was that mouse droppings you flicked out of the tray??

maybe could have used the peanut butter on the biscuits ?

no crackers for the peanut butter?

The peanut butter goes on the cookies

Ive got some british 24h rations if your interested

The pack of tissues is Slovenian.

Chocolate Hobnobs! Eddie Elizabeth Hitler's favorite.

like how he like biscuits or cookies if you like lolz

Did they forget to put food in there? Lol. Seems very scanty

Hot fruit drinks are amazing

Not bad. I feel like you could break this up into two minor meals. The carbs, sugar, and caffeine before you put in any work. After you set up camp, you could eat all of the protein items, the leftover carbs, and electrolytes. Nice vid. Let's see some more over-nighters, Kent!

Well let me tell you, I would have been well made up with all of that in my day for a 12 hour pack, nearly as much as a 24 hour pack.

You could use the peanutbutter a bait, to catch extra food ;-)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

think i'll stick to the wayfayrers ;) 👍

I like what you’ve done here, however, I’m feeling out of sorts knowing that a pack like this could save many lives! And shouldn’t be taken lightly. In Nz alone there are kids unable to go to school because of being in poverty and are underfed. Our new government is addressing child poverty here. I think of the huge dilemma we are all facing with starvation and the state of the charities that have failed them.... in many ways... I would be interested to hear your comment. 🤗

Well i have to say im shocked! A man of your culinary expertise resorting to ration packs. But these things have to be looked at, and reviewed. The only thing missing from your review, unless i missed it, was how much it cost? and where you get one? price could well be a factor. Incredibly, my Girlfriend actually watched it with me, (very rare that) she said stick the peanut butter on the cookies, good sweet and sour combo. Now, the important issue, was that enough for 12 hours? working on the assumption that a soldier left his base at say, 8am having already stuffed himself with stodge, in the words of Andy Mcnabb (ex SAS turned author). Then that would be enough for sure, again working on the assumption he/she would be overdue an evening meal by the time they got back, at say 6pm. SO the words 12 hour are a bit misleading. its basically one good daytime meal, and a few tea/drink breaks. which is all its intended for. Hope i sounded like i knew what i was talking about there? Good vid mate. Gary.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🐭

how can he eat so silent

Brother use a good mike.. half of the things we cant understand and half of the things we cant listen

Tea sounds pretty disgusting.

Usually love your videos however this is a clear rip off of the best ration pack reviewer on RU-vid. 😂😂😂

French ones are so much better

Terrible,nothing has changed since I was in in the 80s,what if you don’t like sugar,badly designed
