"Rett i Koppen", which translates to "Straight into the Cup", is a civilian brand of instant soups and drinks that can be found in every grocery store here in Norway.
Would still love to see you do a series for Consumer Meals like readywise and Mountain House. like going to Walmart or Costco and buying whatever Multi-pack they have. I know many reviewers have done them in the past... but I noticed most have ads for the one they are reviewing...
The reason for the Bridgeford side was that it didn't need preparation. You could eat it and the blueberry bar if you needed the calories and couldn't heat water yet.
I’m surprised Norway hasn’t went to retort pouch meals with an FRH. Seems kinda redundant, to go with freeze dried meals, where hot water to rehydrate them isn’t always gonna be available in field. Freeze dried meals work better for Arctic rations because, hot water is always gonna be brewing up something. Also should’ve dropped the coffee into the hot chocolate for some mochaccino army style lol. Great video as always Nathan!
I'd be interested to get your impressions on some Back Country freeze dried meals, made in New Zealand. They're readily available in Australia but not sure about in the USA. They make some great stuff, especially their freeze dried Cooked Breakfast.
Drytech the company behind real on the go and the Norwegian military didn’t agree on the new contract, so real on the go might not be in Norwegian mre from now on
Not really true. It's all about government regulations. Since there are others that can deliver on the same criterias most they announce a tender. Drytech might win the tender or not. Nobody knows as long as there will be negotiations and they will be kept secret. Drytech hoped they could win the contract without a tender
Take a look at the camping section of every "outdoor" store you find and you'll be surprised at the variety of freeze dried meals that are out there. The popularity of these things has blown up with all the rations on socials and what-not. Might not necessarily be cheap but there's alot of companies making em.
Yeah its all available to the public but its pretty expensive. All is top shelf stuff and with matching prices, so if Im on a trip its not something for every meal.
@jonathanharkins786 1. Fill the bag half full with water. Seal it, shake it. 2. Open and drink/zip directly from the bag. 3. Seal it again, and put whats left of it gently in your pocket for later use. (not upsidedown lol) 4. The bag and seal is high quality, but will pop-open if you accidentally sit on it, or under pressure.
Its a shame that most of the actual meal is those packs isn't actually proper Norwegian food. The chocolate is proper though and has been around for ages!
Not like US ones , that you have one decent main ( if it was made by mountainhouse ) , and the rest of it , low end junk . Like you find at a gas station .
