*MUST SEE* BRITISH FORCES "EMERGENCY FLYING RATION MK4"-SHAME ON YOU UK GOVT. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT? 

Mick, I think you may have misunderstood exactly what these are for. They are the calorific component of the RAF Survival Go Pack Mk4 and, as such, are used as *emergency* rations if a downed airman has been unable to catch or find any other source of calories. They are not intended to 'fill you up' or provide a comforting meal, just provide the calories required to keep you going while you make good your escape or await rescue. The Go Pack Mk4 is very good, it contains the fire starting kit as well as a compass, fishing lines, snare wire, para cord, wire saw, foil blanket, nylon sleeping bag. needles, razor blade, candle. water purification tablets. I'm sure there is more in there but I can't remember (It has been almost 10 years since I last looked). This is all in a pack 7x5x2 inches and weighs just 1lb. The RAF Survival kit has been upgraded/improved and modernised over the last 80 years, and one of the items that has remained, pretty much unchanged, is the boiled sweet ration. That is because they have found nothing better to replace it with.

Very cool Mick! Like most survival rations, lightweight. Nice to see one that new. Most are ancient. It would be A helpful energy fix however. Stay safe, enjoy trip. Peace.

I agree 100 % with you Mich. That was a real dud. And I bet it costs more than a small bag of sweets. Have a great week !

Great video buddy!! I have one also but my boiled sweets are in three separate “tubes”. Thank guy for sharing as always!!!

Awesome review Mick

WOW! I wonder if the pilots would be better off with a solid block of chocolate? Thanks for sharing your trip to the Sweet Shop Mich. See you next vid. 👍

McD's sugar packets and oxo cubes will make a welcome addition to that feeble effort

The RAF has a history of issuing this exact ration, Steve1989 made a video of a WW2 british RAF action ration which was the same exact thing (sweets in a tin)

Nothing just that. Look like a good tin but nothing with it

If you’d shown this on April Fools Day I’d be congratulating you. That must have been designed by someone in the army. I almost feel sorry for the RAF.

I'd like to know what this cost UK citizens to develop this children's playtime survival toy? No matches or fuel included makes it a safe toy.

Yep, just rubbish.

I wonder who accepted this ration to be ordered--probably a person who has never seen any MRE video ;). Thanks for revealing this mystery box for us and saving our money to be list in case of purchase...
