Hello sports fans.....
Fed up of paying for expensive MRE’s?
Hard to source decent ration packs?
Want bigger portions, better quality food?
Ever considered making your own?
Try it yourself, make your own military style 24 hour ration pack. In this video I will show you how to make a cheap DIY alternative to expensive MRE’s. Much bigger portions and better quality food. Have what ever you like for a fraction of the cost.
******* Something I forgot *******
Maybe a slightly better way of making a vacuum. Partially seal the top leaving a small gap in the corner as before. Instead of using the straw, Fill a vessal full of water and submerge your pouch in it, leaving the top exposed.This will push all the remaining air out. Pinch the corner and seal the rest of the bag.
Do not use the hair straighteners near water take the bag away. Electricals near water can be very dangerous!
I made this MRE for Tom Outdoors. Check out his channel at @

To buy the foil packs search for..
“heat seal aluminium foil bags”
********** important disclaimer **********
I am not a chef or I have any knowledge of cooking and preserving food. I am simply trying to recreate MRE’s and make life easier for my camping trips and sharing my experiences. I do not suggest packing food and leaving it for long periods of time. This is what I do the night before a trip so I know the food is fresh. Also I do not condone using hair straighteners in way, they are not intended or designed to be used like that. Please be careful using any electrical product that generates heat. Recreate this at your own risk sports fans. I take NO responsibility for any accidents or illnesses from recreating this . Thank you.
Please give us a thumbs up and sub if you like. Enjoy
