The military food ration, designed with the armed forces in mind, is also perfectly suitable for tourism purposes or activities like airsoft. The Half Day version, intended for half a day, may even be sufficient for a full day. All ingredients are fresh and tasty. The main dish can be easily heated using the included chemical heater or over a campfire. I honestly recommend this product and the shop.

This food ration was designed with soldiers in mind for half a day, but if someone is not very active, it can even last the whole day. It is much cheaper than well-known brands like Tactical Foodpack or Drytech. The set includes a bag and a water purification tablet, which can be very useful in combat or survival conditions. I definitely recommend this product and the Militaria.pl store.

The half-day set works great for intense physical activity, whereas for a regular trip, it lasts the whole day. The dishes are fresh, nutritious and very good, and the extras are well-selected and high quality. I really liked the coffee with condensed milk. I definitely recommend Arpol's products and the Militaria pl shop.

The price to quality ratio is appropriate. There are plenty of extras in the set: three types of drinks, sweets, chocolates, as well as matches and a bag with a tablet for purifying a litre of water. I ate the main course almost cold – the chemical heater was very hot, but 10 minutes is not enough to heat up a meal properly in low temperatures. You need to heat your food for as long as possible, as lukewarm food doesn’t taste the best.

The main course is not very flavoursome – I recommend using some extra spices. Cooking takes longer than described. The other elements are as described. The water sterilisation bag can be reused.
-
Tasty food ration, perfect for an all-day trip.
-
Everything fine and as described. It's enough for a whole day in the mountains. The only downside is the bland taste and the main course – there could be more sauce so it's less dry. I recommend it.
-
Product as described. Very good quality and surprisingly tasty. Heating time takes longer than 10 minutes. The price could be slightly lower, but I still recommend it – I tested it with my dad.
-
Ideal for trips, the food is very tasty. I recommend it.
-
The price matches the quality. Lots of extras for such a ration – there are three kinds of drinks, sweets, chocolates, and others. There were even matches and a bag with a tablet for purifying 1L of water. I had to eat the main course almost cold, because even though the chemical heater was very hot, 10 minutes wasn't enough to heat the food, especially with temperatures close to zero. It's worth heating the food for as long as possible, because lukewarm doesn't taste very good.

I bought this set for a mountain expedition. It was a good choice, worth buying! I recommend it.
