Howdy Folks! This is my Review of The French Individual Reheatable Combat Ration (“Ration de Combat Individuelle Rechauffable” or RCIR)! A few months ago one of my subscribers sent me an FIR Combat Ration to review. Given that this was a very special gift, I wanted to wait until I could review it in a very special place. So after a long wait, I was finally able to escape to my Secret Fun Spot to film my review.
