There was neither a heating bag nor a heater in the set – for this price I am disappointed. I had to heat the main dish in a frying pan after getting home. The sauce, if you can even call it that, didn’t taste anything like mustard; it was bland, and the turkey meat was dry and flavorless, even after adding salt and pepper. After eating half, I felt sick and threw the rest away. I gave two stars only because the extras were good – although it’s hard to feel full on them without a proper meal. The bar tasted great, the crackers as usual – definitely best to bring some spread, like jam or peanut butter, for them. I really liked the isotonic drink: it had an intense, good flavor and hydrated well. The instant tea was also a nice addition. The large trash bag is a plus, the straw is made of paper but works fine as a filter, and chewing gum is a nice touch. I didn’t get a chance to use the water purification tablets. In summary: even with a discount it’s not worth spending nearly 50 PLN on this ration because of the really weak main dish and missing heater. Other items were tasty and practical, but unfortunately I won’t buy this ration again, so I can’t recommend it.

You can definitely eat this, although top chefs would probably reject it. The shelf life is okay, price is similar to others, and the extras are a great addition. I recommend this product.

The food ration is intended for one meal, but its quantity is enough to satisfy hunger for half a day. The main dish is very tasty, nutritious, and filling. The side items are of high quality and also taste good. The water filter straw and tablet make it possible to safely drink even two liters of water. I recommend this product, as well as the store Militaria.pl.

The set is meant for one meal. The products are fresh, of good quality, tasty, and filling. The main dish can be easily heated using the included chemical heater or over a campfire. A big plus of the set is the presence of a bag and water purification tablet, as well as the filtering straw – in an emergency or survival situation, these extras can make life much easier. The product and the Militaria.pl store are definitely worth recommending.

One filling meal with sides effectively satisfies hunger and provides calories. It’s a great portion for a break – for example, during a hike or a stop. Simple and to the point. The products are fresh, tasty, and of good quality. The Łazanki taste homemade. I recommend both the product and the shop.

Delicious Polish products! A bit high in calories. The shelf life could be a little longer, but functionally they are only outperformed by French equivalents. Other than that, I recommend them because I’ve tried most options. My worst experience was with American MREs, and ours are really great.

I've already ordered the ration and can't wait to eat it – I bought it just in case as a backup. I really appreciate that the ration includes extras like a water purification tablet, which you can use if you have an uncertain water source and are worried about stomach problems.

The perfect solution for people who don't want to cook during camping, kayaking trips, or when traveling to places without shops and restaurants.
